Percent of vote the winner got will be in parenthesis, position change vs. 2020 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.

I'm going with TJ Slaton here based solely on upside and the thin group in front of him. I also think lupe sold me on Kylin Hill here. I would like to have an idea about if Hill can contribute on ST, but I do think he is a shoe-in for that #3 RB spot and that will hold at least some value this season. Think I have to go with Summers and Scott/Redmond (still undecided) after that.

We're at 7 OL right now, probably need at least 2 more. Really have no basis for ranking the remaining OL. Maybe give the lean to Yosh since he's 2nd year and seems to have flexibility.

Sticking with Summers too after Yoho convinced me last round.

Wait.

Dafney's first name is Dom?!

Huh.

No, I was just being lazy and not looking it up. Fixed.

I'm kind of surprised there has been no fist pounding for Ben Braeden.

Color me skeptical on the ability of Ben Braeden. I hear many times "oh he's a starter" in May....and then August comes around and he's 3rd team LG.

Slaton and Summers.

Ive been voting Ben Braden for a while now. This guy might actually start at guard.

Also went Slaton. Hes going to get snaos and hopefully by the end of the year he can be a problem inside

I did Summers and Slaton, but Braden was next on my list, I think.

Been voting Will Redmond a while.

He gets a lot of snaps, on special teams too.

I don’t think as bad as advertised, actually gets his hands on some balls once in a while too.

Good guy to have around.

I haven't been voting for Jace, but I have to at this point. I think he can still be very good. Things haven't bounced his way and he's had some struggles. But the talent is still there.

Going with Braden for my other one. Based solely on the OL coach talking him up.

I believe this pick again should be Hill at RB3 for reasons stated in the last 2 polls.

I went with Summers as the other pick as I do believe he is impactful as a STs player. I don’t think he sees the field much as a starter. If that is the case the Packers have failed at ILB. But they’ve been doing that for a decade so who knows.

yeah, lots of these guys flame out. Packers snagged Braden last year off waivers and ended up elevating him from PS to active a couple of times.

quite the specimen - big, long, fast too, 92nd percentile in the 40 at 6'6" and 329.

OG Room Jenkins,Patrick,Runyan, Braden, Stepaniak and I suppose Turner too. Then Capra, Dietzen, Johnson,Cronk

I am most excited for the TC battle at RG. That position is completely wide open. I still think Patrick is the heavy favorite but I’m still intrigued.
