Create the Big Board - 1st Round Rankings for Dallas - #24

[Texas_OutLaw7]

Rules: Each poll will last roughly a day. In the event of a tie, the most posted selection will advance. Runoffs will be implemented at my discretion. Some options will list players, others will list positions. In the event of a position is selected, the following day will present the options for specifically that position.

Note. You cannot draft a player to trade. No one is willing to trade with you. Create your board.

Note 2 - Only 9 players will be listed at any given poll. So if you want to lobby to name someone specifically, please go ahead and mention that person. If not - use the positional option.

Our list so far....

1. Quenton Nelson, OG, Notre Dame
2. Bradley Chubb, DE, NC State
3. Saquon Barkley, RB, Penn St.
4. Minkah Fitzpatrick, DB, Alabama
5. Roquan Smith, LB, Georgia
6. Sam Darnold, QB, USC
7. Derwin James, S, Florida State
8. Vita Vea, DT, Washington
9. Tremaine Edmunds, LB, Va. Tech
10. Denzel Ward, CB, Ohio State

Gotta be Josh Jackson. Honestly, the majority of real, solid, first found caliber players are gone. Jackson is the last of them on this list.

Josh Jackson. The ball production is unreal and the fact that he is a converted WR gives reason that the interceptions aren't coincidence or chance. The guy could come in the league and immediately have some of the best hands in the league for a DB.

[resilient part 2]

Jackson was my vote as well.

I think I may have to go Arden Key next. I know he missed some time, but it's not a drug issue from what I understood.  Talent wise he is top 15(Landry/Davenport range) without the off field concerns. But I would think Key is a higher rated prospect than Connor Williams or Daniels.

give me James Daniels here.. Just a solid player who athletic ability allows him to get to the second level at will

This is who I voted for as well.

My problem with putting Key ... is this thread as a whole. Is it intended to rank the whole big board, or peg the first round guys only?

Because there are only 16 true first round guys by my count. FM30 has 15. Bucky B. has 17. And a famous local radio guy Mike Francesca has 13. In other words...going in the first round doesnt mean scouts and coaches truly had you rated as a top guy, but may have had you as a 1-2 or a flat 2 but the best left available.

Key, to me, is a 1-2 kinda guy. The missed time, the overpursuit problems, the less polished work off the snap, rates him lower to me and to many others. Good prospect, but solid 1? Not to me. But if we are ranking prospects all the way down regardless of first, second, etc designations...then Key would prolly be next, yeah.

I like Daniels as a pass blocking center with Kelce like mobility. Should be a good center. I'd be worried about his play strength at guard.

I'm making the votes based on who I feel the next best player left is. Like if all the players that were previously selected didn't exist at all, who would be #1 on the BB? So every pick I'm trying to pick the best player left in my amatuer opinion.

 

I understand having GRADES on players, but that's not what I'm doing. Most of us ran out of our top guys a few picks ago.

I for one would be interested in keeping this going as long as we can. I feel we are all learning more and more about the class as we go. This thread is kind of the point of the entire website.
