Percent of vote the winner got will be in parenthesis, position change vs. 2022 will be in brackets.
Here's how this works:
Each day there is a new thread/poll, starting at #1, on down to whereever we get. The whole point of this exercise is to have something to talk about in the lean news months to carry us to camp. Each poll will be open for voting for 24 hours. New threads will only be created on weekdays. Ties will cause a runoff poll. You may vote up to TWO players (a change that was made mid-poll last year, seemed to work well).
Simply voting is not enough!
Post why you voted for who you did and provide a player to add to the next poll (every poll will be a list of 15-20 guys, new players added in bunches every few days).
Here's the thing. There is no criteria. This is an exercise to foster discussion therefore there are no clear criteria for ranking. Who is better right now? Who will have the best season? Who was better last year? Sort of a combo of them all? Do you take positional value into account? It really doesn't matter.

Okay Quay makes a big leap and Zack Tom grabs the RT slot.
Crazy how the only guys with more than 3 years if experience are Savage, Runyan, Yosh, and Owens.
'Still think this is quite ambitious for Quay. I don't believe high-variance players just become consistent after one year—see: Myers, Josh.
I think it's Tom and Doubs for me, Wyatt and Van Ness on deck. Tom looked very capable at T, and more than adequate at G. Doubs put up unusually good numbers for a WR drafted in Day 3, second only to Marques Colston. I think he will look even better in Year 2 because he seemed to have a really good connection with Love from the jump, the offense should be a lot simpler this year, and he has a year of experience in it when it was harder to learn.

Deguara should really be on the list, he's kind of the default TE1 to start the year (as OTA reps reflect), albeit by no means a lock for it.

An interesting note.
Last week at OTAs, without Bakh there, Yosh started at LT and Tom at RT.
This week, Bakh was back, and Tom still stayed at RT with the 1s.
I don’t know if they’re focusing Yosh on LT or if Yosh was rotating in on the right. Hopefully we’ll get more info over time.
But it’s more evidence for the case of Tom to start

Doubs really has the feel of a guy whose work habits and personality will lead to much greater consistency than we saw in year one. Take his flashes, add consistency and chemistry with Love, I wouldn’t be sutured if he led the team in receptions (though not likely receiving yards) this season. I’m getting good vibes.Labrev wrote: ↑31 May 2023 19:11I think it's Tom and Doubs for me… Doubs put up unusually good numbers for a WR drafted in Day 3, second only to Marques Colston.

Doubs is on my radar next here after last years first rounders. He's going to be a big part of our offense.
I’ve been voting Quay and Doubs the past few picks. I also think there are several players you can make a viable argument for between the last two picks and the next 3-4 picks going forward. We’re in the midst of a wide open tier right now.

Why is Nixon (#13) still on the #14 board?
Plays more than one role!
