Need a sounding board for these keepers!

[Macnamara]

Keepers are due tomorrow night. 12 team, 22 roster spots. 1/2 ppr.

We have no rookie draft as they are mixed with our normal draft. For each player you keep, you lose a round in the draft, so if I keep 10 keepers, I enter the draft in the 11th round. I have these guys I for sure am gonna keep. I also need to keep Green Bay def for sure given our scoring system. My lineup is 1QB, 1WR, 1TE, 3 RB's, 1 Def

Qb: Ryan, Eli
Rb: CJ, Mccoy, Blount, Addai, Starks
Wr: Jennings, Vjack, M Thomas
Te: Gates, Graham
D: Green Bay

So essentially I am coming into the draft as of now in the 14th round.

Here are guys I can keep that I am on the fence about. Javon Ringer (CJ handcuff and I am leaning on keeping him), Anthony Dixon, Hardesty (11.1 adp), Tennessee defense, Dustin Keller (13.07 adp), Brent Celek (11.05 adp), Pierre Thomas (8.03 adp), Donald Brown (12.12 adp). Being a long time dynasty owner of Donald Brown and Pierre Thomas, I am ready to cut bait - but how can I justify throwing them back in the draft pool when I would be entering 14th/15th round?

Any thoughts would really be appreciated. I am losing sleep over this one. Thanks guys.

I would only keep about five of your players: Chris Johnson, L. McCoy, Greg Jennings, V. Jackson and L. Blount. And I'm not 100% on those last two. I think you can get comparable QBs and other stuff later. There will be tons of TEs too, so keeping two is madness.

I'd bank on the other owners being in love with their rosters as well, and you'll be able to get a jump on them in the draft - also, you'll get a crack at the top rookies, which will help build up your keepers for future seasons.
