Rank the 2017 & 2018 RB's

[gogobradyarm]

If the 2017 + 2018 RB's were in one class, what would be their dynasty draft order today? I know this is a difficult exercise as we already know the landing spot of some, but lets see what we can do. Assume PPR settings. Here are my top 12. We can do this post draft too to see how things change

1. Barkley
2. Cook
3. Kamara
4. Hunt
5. Fournette
6. Mixon
7. Guice
8. McCaffrey
9. Michel
10. Chubb
11. A Jones
12. Penny

1. Barkley
2. Kamara
3. Cook
4. Fournette
5. Mixon
6. Hunt
7. Guice
8. Chubb
9. Michel
10. McCaffrey
11. Penny
12. R.Jones

Almost exactly this, but I'd switch Guice and Hunt.

Tier 1
Barkley
Fournette

Tier 2
Kamara (not sure his production is the same w/o Brees & Payton)
Cook. (Tier 1 if he had not been injured)
Mixon (Tier 1 talent ... but Cincy is a failed organization)
Guice

Tier 3
Hunt (he lived off his amazing start to 2017; although if Mahomes makes KC dynamic Hunt could jump to Tier 1)
McCaffrey.(Imagine if he were on NO ... always thought CAR was bad fit for him)
Michel (100% landing spot dependent)
Chubb

Tier 4
Ronald Jones
Foreman (super scared about Achilles, but he looked amazing in preseason & short time in regular season)

I think your rankings are tainted here. A year ago, Kamara was probably not even in the top 5 for his class by most of the respondents here. So. coming out, his value was not as high as it appears to be in this informal poll.

Good luck with whatever you draw from the results here!

Agreed, I was confused with people rankings. If we are going off pre draft rankings for both years I'd go:
Barkley
Mixon
Fournette
Cook
Guice
Cmac
Chubb
Hunt
Kamara
Michael
So I took Mixon at 1.02 last year (and prefered him over fournette) I was down on cmac but still would have taken him before Chubb (mainly because others were so sure he was a star) and I was higher on hunt than most after reading an article on the RBS elusive rating in college (really enjoyed the article but can't remember who did it)
I'm also way lower on this years rbs than most, I think after Barkley and Guice I don't believe we will have many hits at the RB position.

Maybe I misread, are we meant to rank them as they are now (2017 has happened etc) because if so OP's original ranking wouldnt be too far off, I'd have Kamara above Cook and Chubb higher than Michael but pretty close to what I'd have.
