Someone brought up the instant run off poll system to me before in another forum, and I looked into it but my main issues with it were that my polling system does not support multiple option voting (and finding an alternative free polling service that does AND is compatible with my website editor would be challenging to say the least), and the lack of simplicity would chase away voters. Also, the last Interactive Mock we ran was done this way so a change might chase off some returning voters.
During the earlier picks our main issue was that most of the polls were Cam Newton vs. 5 d-line prospects. So many teams didn't want Newton to outvote their diluted vote among the other prospects. Interesting to see this issue pop up again.
This one would be my mistake. I thought I had a pretty good grasp of who the top 8 or so prospects for the Pats would be and I thought Jordan would be a given here, so I didn't even consider Heyward as a potential option. Anyways, live and learn, I'll make sure Heyward's an option at 28 if he's still available. Last time around, Pats fans went Watt + Wilkerson, so I'll make sure not to rule out all DEs this time around.
