Asking Discord

I asked our subscribers in the Basement Brewed Fantasy Football Discord server to choose without looking at the Draft Dominator tool, and the results were mixed, indicating there's possibly a real dilemma across the fantasy football community at large, which is reflected in their ADPs.

Would I take Bo Nix or Baker Mayfield?

I have these players within the same tier, but a slight lean to Baker Mayfield, who I believe has the better skill players surrounding him and showed a raised floor and ceiling last season despite injuries to those skill position players. However, I believe both are being overdrafted, as I have them ranked behind their current ADPs.
