Percent of vote the winner got will be in parenthesis, position change vs. 2023 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.

Looking at the last thread, I wasn't sure who Dillard was. Looks like he's an ex-1st round OT of the Eagles, started 10 games last year for the Titans. They signed him just before the draft. He has to be in the starting competition somewhere on the OL too.

I'll go Stokes and Jordan Morgan here. Its late for our first rounder to be coming off the board, especially when 3 rookies are a near lock for a lot of playing time.

Positionally, you’re on target. Player-wise, though, you’re a mess.

I assume you have Morgan beating out Walker to break the starting lineup…?

Valentine and Walker for me.

[lupedafiasco]

I’m going Bullard and Cooper. Both are in line to play close to 100% of the defensive snaps if they stay healthy. Bullard should especially not come off the field as the teams likely 2nd best safety and probably 2nd best nickel.

Meanwhile Cooper is too athletic and just needs to beat McDuffie for a starting spot. I wouldn’t be surprised if he starts to push Walker either.

[Labrev]

Kraft cheese man!

Then ?? -!

Honestly the next tier is like 10 different guys for me. I think Walker might be at the top of the list, though. LT is a premium position and I am convinced it is still his to lose.

Valentine and Walker for me.

Walker is my #1 pick. He is the starter because he earned it last season. He is much better than Morgan on opening day and he will still be the better player, baring injury, in January. LT is arguably a higher value position than either the 2nd ILB or the 2nd safety.

As far as I am concerned, Stokes and Valentine are tossups. I went with Valentine this time rather than with Stokes. Maybe I will swap them on #20 since there is a strong possibility that neither come off the board at #19. Of course if logic prevails and Walker comes off the board I can pick both of the CB's at #20.

There are a bunch who should be on deck. Stokes, Bullard, Cooper, Lloyd, Myers, Brooks, Engabare and Kraft in that order but without much distance between them. Bullard, Cooper and Myers are almost locks as starters.

[Cdragon]

Walker and Marshawn Lloyd.
Walker played well last year and I think Morgan will be kicked inside.

As good as Jacobs should be Lloyd is going to earn some big snaps. I'll throw him in there even though he's not going to win the spot.

Stokes is going to kick some ass. We all know that only first rounders matter.

[Yoop]

7 votes for a player that wont see half the snaps of Morgan, has everyone gone bat chit crazy, is there even a smidge of sanity left?

I'll continue to vote for Morgan, no way that kid isn't starting game 1, I'll pray for increased gray matter for you folks
