The shape of the top tier

The opening group mixes elite running-back workloads with target-dominant wide receivers. That is intentional. GIQ does not enforce a positional quota in Round 1; the overall ordering comes from the combination of projection, profile quality and replacement value in this specific 12-team environment.

Why the board can disagree with ADP

GIQ's job is not to predict the average draft room. A player can rank higher than market if his projection, role and profile support it, or lower if the model sees more fragility. ADP becomes relevant later when a manager asks whether a player is likely to make it back, but it is not part of the True GIQ score.

Use the board as a decision surface

The gap between adjacent ranks matters. A one-spot difference inside a tight tier should not be treated like a hard rule. Player profiles show the projected points and likely range, while Quick Pick can learn which close-call traits matter more to the user.

Method note: The examples on this page come from GIQ's own certified ranking dataset. Outside market rankings are not used to score these players.
