Maxman Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Alright I drafted a team last year and checked it like 3 times all year. Needless to say I didn't finish well. It is a keeper league, you can keep anyone that wasn't on your team for more than one year (and wasn't a 1st round pick). Here are my options -- I can keep 4. Obviously running backs get kept by everyone. Thoughts? Round 1 Round 2 Brian Westbrook Round 3 Roy Williams Round 4 Kevin Jones Round 5 Mike Bell Round 6 Cedric Benson Round 7 Round 8 Round 9 LenDale White Round 10 Round 11 David Givens Round 12 Kevin Curtis Round 13 Ashley Lelie Round 14 Matt Leinart Round 15 Jason Elam Round 16 New York Round 17 Dallas Clark Round 18 Chad Jackson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Troll Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Westbrook, Benson, Roy Williams, ummm... Do you HAVE to keep four? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smizzy Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Westbrook, Benson, Roy Williams, ummm... Do you HAVE to keep four? I'm with him. If you have to keep 4,id roll the dice on Kevin Jones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted August 29, 2007 Author Share Posted August 29, 2007 You don't have to keep 4. You lose the round pick for each keeper. So Jones really wouldn't be worth it. I should have put that in the first post. For example if I keep Lendale White I give up my 9th. Kind of changes the equation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Troll Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 I would definitely keep Westbrook, Benson and Kevin Curtis. Those are values this year. Williams I don't see as a value in the third round. I've never been in a keeper league, though, so I have no clue if you can get someone better in that slot.

Papageorgio268 Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 I would probably keep Leinart. With Boldin and Fitzgerald i don't see how he can do badly. He came on at the end of last year and i think he will only continue that success. I would keep Westbrook, Roy Williams, Benson, and Leinart.

Is it a ppr league? The interesting thing with your draft is you give up the round this year of the player you drafted last year. With that in mind: If you look at Leinart at 14, that is GREAT value. I have him as my 8th qb, but really a tie at seventh with hasselbeck. Figure whoever has the top 4-5 will keep them, that means if you did not keep leinart you would need to draft a qb pretty quick, so i definitely take him and sacrifice a 14th pick Westbrook I have as my #5 in a ppr league, so giving up a second rounder for him is a no brainer. Cedric Benson is #23 on my list, figure there will be a draught at RB with everyone keeping so many of the good ones, i say keep him and give up the 6th Those are the moves I would definitely make, and your big steal is your starting qb at 14th pick. Here is one not so black and white Roy Williams, I have him at 12 on my list of WRs. Now, is that worth giving up a third pick? I don't know. You need another stud back, so you will go with the best rb available in round1, that is a no brainer. If you take Williams you do not get to pick again until the 4th round. Now, you need to look at what you think the other guys will do, will most of the top 10 wr be available or kept from last year, and will guys be drafting wr's early or qbs. This one really depends on your position in draft order and what other guys will be doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted August 30, 2007 Author Share Posted August 30, 2007 Thanks guys!!! I was leaning towards not keeping Williams and I wasn't sure about Leinart but I think you guys talked me into it. Westbrook - 2 Benson - 6 Leinart - 14 and Curtis - 12 or White - 9. I have a good feeling about White. JoeBaby -- I pick 4th in the 1st round. Guys like L.T. etc can't be kept. So the # 4 isn't valued like a true 4 but there will still be a top player at that spot. If I keep Leinart and get a top RB with the 1st pick I have 3 pretty good backs. It is a QB, RB, RB, WR, WR, W/R, Def, K league. So 3 good backs would be helpful. That would give me rounds 3, 4 and 5 to get some wideouts. Should definitely be possible. Thanks!

Maxman Posted August 30, 2007 Author Share Posted August 30, 2007 Gotta go back and do the math, Williams might actually be the keeper at the 3rd. HHhhmmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joebabyny Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Gotta go back and do the math, Williams might actually be the keeper at the 3rd. HHhhmmmm. it all depends, i would think most guys will keep whoever they picked in the 2nd round, so it will mostly go from first to third round. Assume you do a serpentine where you come back around, you will be the 4th pick of the 3rd round, now are any of the 12 or so wr's that are above williams gonna be available? Figure manning and rb's get picked in the first, i would think you have your pick of wr's, but you need to look at what the other guys are keeping. If you give up your 3rd round for williams, he will likely be your highest rated wr. Like i said, it is a close call, really depends on what other guys have and do with their keepers. Also, think about setting yourself up for next year, guys who took addai and bush killed this year because they are getting top 10 talent and giving up late round picks, so make sure you get some promising young players, but try to pick them up in middle or late rounds.

In keeping with what i said, Micheal Turner becomes a free agent next year, if people sleep on him he is a great late round pick. I would forget keeping white at 9 and maybe picking up turner there instead. Looks like at 4th pick you will land Alexander, as the only first rounders from last year who would be available that would go ahead would be LT, Jackson, LJ. You may get LJ though if the guy ahead is skittish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gave up the 9th for White as well. If he plays, it is worth it. If not it was only a 9th and I would have screwed it up anyhow. Joe -- Good call on Turner. Real good call.

Better yet, i am curius because this is an interesting format, how did your draft go? Do you have your round by round picks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Williams I don't see as a value in the third round. I've never been in a keeper league, though, so I have no clue if you can get someone better in that slot. Finding a guy in the 3rd=Williams in a keeper draft, especially when you get four, will be tough. I would probably keep Leinart. With Boldin and Fitzgerald i don't see how he can do badly. He came on at the end of last year and i think he will only continue that success. I would keep Westbrook, Roy Williams, Benson, and Leinart. Ditto. Take best available RB in round 1 and a QB in round 4. BAPs after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
124 Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 Westbrook, Benson, R.Williams and Kevin Curtis. Curtis will soar in The Illadelph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryno the Jet Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 Westbrook, Benson, R.Williams and Kevin Curtis. Curtis will soar in The Illadelph. True, but he can still pick up Curtis late in the draft. Nabbing Leinart in return for a Rd 14 Pick is a steal in any league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
