Percent of vote the winner got will be in parenthesis, position change vs. 2019 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.

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 10 guys, a new player is added to the list each day).

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.

Y'all have me really sold on Sullivan. Was unsure about CB #3 going into this, but a good case has been made that he's the guy to beat by a good margin. I'd like to see Hollman give him some competition though.

After this, gosh I have no idea. Burks and Turner are the starters remaining, Funchess and Dillon are going to get the ball.

Should I add Lane Taylor to this? I feel like its a given he's going to be cut, but maybe not, maybe he wins RG and Turner gets the boot.

No changing votes? I wanted Sullivan, but I think I picked Funchess instead!

Sully FTW!! =]

I think gotta be Bootstrap Bill Turner here.

More likely than not he plays every snap this year.

I do like Sullivan, no guarantee he’ll still as #3 CB through TC and I still think there is about a 50/50 shot we resign TWill.

I fixed the poll for you so you can change your vote.

So in terms of voting strategy, how are you guys don’t this?

I wanted Funchess as WR2, but Lazard went. Would you stick with Funchess here till he goes, or move on to other spots and then vote for Funchess later as if he were WR3?

I voted Sully. Was a nice outta-the-blue addition last season. If he's the slot corner, he'll play a ton.

I have immense trouble deciding where to put Funchess. The WR pecking order and roles are soooo open.

Sorry, I messed that up, not sure how I missed that.

Thx for the fix BF004

Thanks!

Sullivan, Turner, then my tier might end. Then MVS, EQ, Finchess all in a row.

Burks is a likely starter, right?

I can't say I've ever been impressed by him, but he hasn't played much either.

Turner OTOH I've seen enough to know he needs to be replaced by someone decent pronto. Hopefully Runyan takes that job early in the season and doesn't look back. Jenkins-Runyan be the new Sitton-Lang.

Nope, I don't believe he is. I don't think he is more than a special teamer. Kirksey and Martin as the 2 ILBs.

Burks is a cut candidate. Kirksey, Martin, Greene, Bolton all seem like better bets to make the roster. Burks likely will compete for that last spot with Summers, who I also think is more likely to stick. He will need to really bring it to make the team.

For me the choice was between Sullivan and Dillon. I chose Dillon. IMO the Packers would be wise to severely limit Jones' snaps to keep him healthy for the playoffs when he will be critically needed. I can see Dillon getting more carries than Jones in the regular season. Assuming they both stay healthy.

I do not see Williams as getting any snaps unless either Dillon or Jones gets hurt.

Yes, because I am not changing my vote just because everyone else got it wrong.

I am voting The Sauce, because it is simply the right thing to do.

IMO Taylor gets cut and they use his money to resign Veldheer after Wagner unimpresses. So I would not put Taylor in this list until the very end. Runyan is more likely to be the starter at RG on opening day.

the only way Dillon starts over Williams is if Williams stubs his big toe, same with Runyan, he has about as much chance of starting as any of us, this aint a walk on league for 90% of drafted rookies, and Runyan was a late round pick, which translates to "not game day ready"

Sullivan, or Turner are good choices here, both very likely will be starters, I chose Sullivan, I think he has a higher ceiling

Wow, terrible timing.
