Keeper League

[Egret]

Twelve team keeper league. Each team keeps ten players. Performance scoring. I had the best record in the league last year, but was bounced in the first round of the playoffs. I have the eighth overall pick, which will not get me anyone good.

 

I've been offered the fifth pick overall for Curtis Martin. I know that the first pick is going to be Braylon Edwards (UofM homer). So, I will get one of the four rookie RBs: Benson, Cadillac, Brown, or Arrington. Should I trade CuMar straight up for the fifth pick?

 

Here's my 10 keepers:

 

Matt Hasselbeck

Kurt Warner

Edgerrin James

Lamont Jordan

Curtis Martin

Marvin Harrison

Ashley Lelie

Michael Clayton

Nate Burleson

Charles Rogers

If you get to keep the 8th pick as well, yeah, I'd probably do it. Sounds like a rookie only draft and this is a great year to pick up one of the RB's.

i think you can get more for him given his preformance last year. if the owner (or other owners don't want to give more) i'd still do the deal.

We had the draft today. I made the trade. I couldn't get anything else for Martin. Having Edge and Lamont Jordan as my probable starters gave me some flexibility. As expected the rookie RBs went 2-5. I had the fifth pick. I ended up with Ronnie Brown. Hopefully I won't need him to play when the season starts.

 

Cadillac went second. Cedric Benson went third. JJ Arrington went fourth. Ronnie Brown fell to me. Braylon Edwards went first.

i think it's a good trade for your future.....don't think martin will match last year's performance.... and rw will be gone in a year.

it sort of, at least to me, would have boiled down to your confidence in lamont having a good yr. i am semi banking on his chances in a few leagues. i think he will has a legitimate chance to crack the top ten. i probably wouldn't have done the trade but i would have drafted blaylock early.....assuming he wasn't kept. i think you have a stellar lineup regardless that should contend.

Good job on making the trade, but I think you erred in the pick, honestly. I think Caddy Williams has better short AND long term value than Brown. Just my opinion. Still, getting Brown ... good trade. CuMar's not gonna have a season like last year ever again... and I'm feelin' an early-season injury. Blaylock and Houston will be a "thunder and lightning" duo. :swamisays:

He didn't have any choice with the 5th pick--Brown was the only rookie RB (of the big 4) left at that point.
