FF's Big Board #1

[MaddHatter]

Discussion and voting on the top spot of the FF Big Board.  Big Boards should be built around best player, regardless of positional value or team needs.

I think MHV is the 'safest' blue-chip prospect in this class, so he's my #1 overall.

He is the best player in the draft without a doubt.

Agreed - I'm only going Caleb if I NEED a QB, but for an overall big board, MHJr is the better prospect.

We can debate Caleb later :-)

For me, it's Caleb, he's the best player. Marvin Harrison Jr is probably the safest player, but a high potential QB should always be a higher ranked. Otherwise QB's should really be their own list (and I kind of think should be anyways).

I like doing this without positional importance attached. That makes things way too murky.

I went with Williams. I think the best philosophy for assembling a board is to assume it's for a team that is replacement level, or even merely competent, at every position.

I also think it's impossible not to consider position when assembling these context free big boards. Is Marvin Harrison a better receiver than Williams is a quarterback? Maybe. But, it's a lot harder to play quarterback than it is to play receiver.

I think it is impossible to detangle positional value from it completely.  No one is putting a punter in their top 10, even if he was God's gift to punters.

Even so, for a fan of a team like the Titans, who don't for sure have a QB, but might, I would still draft MHJ over Caleb Williams.  MHJ is a potentially generational talent at WR, and Williams does have some minor red flags.  Williams would absolutely be my second choice for the Titans, but not over MHJ.

Let's try to keep this to one thread if possible.  50 new threads is a lot when there are other threads that people want to post in.

Am I able to delete and repost new polls as we go?  I'm good with whatever is best for the forum and helps drive activity, I just assumed a poll was locked once it was created.

Maybe do like 3 guys at a time?  Top 3 vote getters for each poll?

I dont want to discourage the idea, just thinking of ways to space it a bit, especially with the mock draft coming up.

[MaddHatter]

And Caleb Williams is making a roaring comeback after being down 50% to MHJR!  This is going to be interesting, for sure

[Danger]

think you can skip ahead to #3 whenever you do the next poll.
