[RESULTS] MGoBlog Fall Survey
Less than five hours and we have 422 responses; thanks! I believe that is a good enough sample size to share some of the results.
The best way to look at it is by how they scored each person. Where they were ranked, they were given the opposite in points, then averaged. For example, if there were 5 players in a position, the #1 ranked player would get 5 points, the lowest would get 1. Pretty typical. (Each position group had a different number of players, so the actual score doesn't mean much, just order and difference between others.)

For each position are identical to how I voted. Would love to see this again after the spring game to see if the numbers change, and the % change of each afterwards.
You should pat yourself on the back.
Malzone 3rd on the depth chart. Someone's going to have an aneurism.
Thanks for doing this OP and posting the results. It'll be interesting to see how accurate (or wrong) we all were.
Before you kill me...
I watched Jourdan Lewis play all last season and only got to see glimpses of Jabrill in his 3 games. So I was a bit objective. Let's hope they both ball out this year though.

Is Ben Braden missing?
Good call, I just missed his name reading the results. It's fixed now.
Unfortunately, his knees don't
Should be fun.
I believe you mean mid-January, after the season is over
I can't possibly wait that long.
It's beautiful. Wolverines are loaded with some nice talent this year.
Peppers has a peer in Lewis.
Rudock currently doesn't have a peer based on 2014.
Did you randomize the inputs in SurveyMonkey?
If not, there is probably a bias to keep the default or stay close to the way you structured initiially.
The fact that a lot of these position groups didn't change makes me question these results.

Quick thoughts
- Our "top" RB and QB have never played a down for UM. In fact the QB was not our QB 3 days ago. Fascinating stuff.
- Glad to see the masses catching up on Lewis and Peppers didnt win in a landslide. One guy has done it. One guy still has to do it.
- Ryan Glasgow gets no love.
Agree on Glasgow.
I think I had him second behind Henry. He probably has a lower ceiling than most of the others, but I put more weight on performance to date than on potential. I put Lewis ahead of Peppers too.
Ryan Glasgow will either start or be heavily in the rotation at NT. He was one of our best players last year. If we ever see the draft order, it will come out that he went very high. The fans missed this one in a big way.
Also, Erik Magnuson is a versatile player that has more talent and experience than a few guys above him. I'd put him ahead of Dawson, LTT, and Braden.
Other than that, I think we did a pretty darn good job. I think Bolden is ahead of Morgan and I think Drake is ahead of De'Veon, but that's picking nits.
I feel like he's a dude with a unique skill set that might fit into Harbaugh's system somewhere. Big, catchy dude coming flying out of the backfield on 'big' sets? Seems like Hill could be great in a utility / #3 TE / u-back / FB sort of role
