2021 rookie rankings Pre NFL draft - pick 1.02 (CLOSED) (1 Viewer)

The purpose of these polls is to get an idea of who the majority of voters prefer at a specific pick in a rookie draft. These drafts assume that all 2021 rookie players are available. For the 2QB poll there may be some variance in scoring. Some may be standard, others PPR. I think a lot of 2QB leagues may involve IDP as well so these differences are not accounted for here. Only looking at the offensive skill players in the two most common formats and also 2QB leagues, to get a sense of where the QB are valued relative to other positions, when there is actually scarcity at the QB position. For the TE premium poll this assumes the scoring format is PPR because that is what these leagues almost always are. The polls assume 12 teams and likely 24-26 roster spots as the most common format for dynasty. Short bench dynasty leagues should only care about the top 6-12 rookie players.

If a player isn't listed that you would vote for please vote other and then post the name of the player that you voted for so that player can potentially be added to the next poll. Also please suggest players not listed that you would vote for soon, even if not on the particular poll that is active.

Thanks everyone for voting. Discussion welcome.

Etienne/Chase/Wilson/Etienne for me.

I voted for Chase last time so I don't think I followed the assignment correctly.

I would vote for Etienne over Javonte because Williams ain't got no breakaway speed, it seems. At all.

Etienne's vision is a question for me.  He seems like a straight line runner and his size may put him in a RBBC his entire career.  Williams is a tackle breaking machine and has the contact balance that Etienne can only dream about and is very good in the receiving game.  Frankly, I see Williams as the better RB.

An initial pass on QB rankings:
 

Tier One

1. Trevor Lawrence, Clemson 
 

Tier Two

2. Justin Fields, Ohio State

3. Zach Wilson, BYU

4. Trey Lance, NDSU  

5. Mac Jones, Alabama 

An argument can be made that on raw potential alone that Trey Lance should be ranked higher; however, he also has a higher potential for becoming a bust - so I am ok right now keeping him at the #4 ranking.

I also feel that the quarterbacks ranked from 2-4 can be flipped around in any order, and you wouldn’t get an argument from me. I do think that Mac Jones is locked in right now at #5; however, I am certainly no NFL scout, so take my opinion for what it is worth.

All five of these quarterbacks will be drafted in the first round, and Mac Jones should be gone before the Patriots are on the clock with the #15 pick, so if they want him - they will need to trade up to get him.
