Need help can only keep 3 and draft is affected

Postby wkbrd_99 » Mon Aug 08, 2011 11:41 am

Regular scoring 12 team non- PPR league where we play 1 QB, 2RB, 3WR, TE, Team D and can only keep 3 players. Will lose draftspot for keepers based on where they were drafted last year.
LAst year's draft for players that i would consider keeping
RD1( M Turner)
RD2( A Rodgers)
Rd3(L Fitzgerald)
RD4(L McCoy)
RD9(Dez Bryant)
RD12(Roethlisberger)

I am struggling because I think it makes sense to keep McCoy, Bryant, and Roethlisber strictly because of value for when I drafted them and also that leaves me with a pick in each of my 1st 3 rounds. The problem is I am 6th in the draft order and if I let Turner go he will most likely be the best RB avilable(other teams will keep AP,CJ,AF,RR, and will go 1st pick so I will most likely get a lesser player with my round 1 pick (same problem by letting Rodgers go). The other delima is Rodgers is clearly a better choice at QB then Ben and since i drafted him in second rd there is good value because he is going in rd1 in most drafts.

I have also tried to trade M. Turner and A Rodgers for Arian Foster or J.Charles because of where they were drafted last year ( Draft order goes with player traded) but owners would not do it. even though they are getting 2 rd1 picks for 1 person(I don't understand their reasoning here but ohwell). Anyway any advice you have would be greatly appreciated

The only problem is If I'm lucky maybe Steven Jackson or Frank Gore is available for my 1st pick. I think i woul have a better chance at letting Fitzgerald go and getting him back in rd 2 if needed. your thoughts?

If you got McCoy in the 4th, I think there's a pretty good chance you'll get another future RB protect in the mid rounds... I also like your argument for Turner - I would not have a problem keeping him this year as he should have a decent season and help you to a winning season.... so, even though he might not be a popular dynasty choice, he's still a potential top tier RB for this season....

I'd keep Turner, Rodgers, and McCoy, and fill out my WR corp later as it's not PPR.

I can also see the argument for keeping Roethlisberger over Rodgers because of the draft value.... but I would not keep Fitz, even though he's a stud WR... I think there's a better chance of getting him back in the third round, or to get an AJ Green or Ryan Williams there.
