It's not unusual for the top few names on this list to be the same on both votes, and this year is no exception. You voted for Gavin McKenna, Matthew Knies and Easton Cowan 1-2-3\.

With an average ranking of 4.49, Cowan is almost two full ranking points above Ben Danford and is a massive consensus vote for third.

Knies jumps up just over one full spot and has the same strong support at second, but there is a significant vote here for first place.

A weighted average ranking of 3.2 is not a unanimous ranking by any means. There are significant votes in second place, and even lower. 

Last year, Matthew Knies had an average ranking of 1.8 and the prior year it was 1.9\. This is a very large difference to the rankings for Gavin McKenna, a first-overall draft pick. This is a very significant result showing a genuine lack of belief in McKenna in a high proportion of voters coupled with a very strong belief in Knies.

If you ranked McKenna somewhere other than first, speak up and make the case! I find it completely unsupported.
