tomfin2000 Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 (edited) 12 team keeper league, 2nd season, standard scoring, start 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 K, 1 DEF. I took over an abandoned team and it's a dog. Here are my six keepers for 2006. I can keep up to three of these guys next year and six players in total. There are some caveats, but the only one that comes into play here is that we are limited to keeping only 2 RBs each season: QB: Delhomme RB: McGahee, Gore WR: Mason, Booker TE: Gonzo I have the 2nd overall pick and the following are the best players aviailable at RB and WR: RBs: K. Jones, J. Jones, J. Lewis, R. Droughns, C. Dillon, D. Foster, D. Rhodes, rookies WRs: D. Jackson, D. Driver, L. Evans, D. Branch, J. Horn I have been offered Javon Walker and 6th overall pick for Derrick Mason and the 2nd overall pick. The draft is this Saturday at noon, so I'm not going to have much more info than I have now other than a couple of preseason games. What I do know is that the owner with the 1st overall pick is taking Reggie Bush so he's out of the equation. Do I gamble on Walker regaining his elite status in a year or two and settle for the best RB available 6th overall, or do I stick with the always reliable Mason and take my pick of RBs listed above? Thanks for the help! Edited August 10, 2006 by tomfin2000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackass Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 in a keeper league, that is not a good trade at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolv Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 I wouldn't take that either. 1. While Walker may have better long-term value than Mason (and not much more), Mason looks like a better value THIS year. 2. You have a shot at getting KJ with the second pick, no shot with the sixth.

Muggsy Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Masons best seasons came in Tenn with........McNair at QB. McNair is going into a new offense and will look often to the familiar face. Walker is IMO being overrated this year since Plummer does not throw a very good deep ball, which is Walker's forte. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Copa Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 I like Mason ALOT (hell, I like all of the recieving options in Baltimore this year), so there's no way I'd move him for Walker. On top of that, you have a decent core at RB, but picking up either Bush, KJones or even Droughns would strengthen the position a whole lot more, and I think Droughns is the only one that would be available at 6.

tomfin2000 Posted August 11, 2006 Author Share Posted August 11, 2006 (edited) Thanks guys. It looks like it's pretty unanimous, so I'm going to stick with Mason and the 2nd overall pick and will most likely take KJ.

tonorator Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 (edited) if you don't keep 6, do you get extra pick(s)? if so, i'd be all over that. Edited August 11, 2006 by tonorator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomfin2000 Posted August 11, 2006 Author Share Posted August 11, 2006 if you don't keep 6, do you get extra pick(s)? if so, i'd be all over that. Nope. If that was the case, I definitely would have dumped Booker (I'll probably end up dumping him anyway) and maybe one or two others. The fact that I didn't even have a decent kicker or defense to keep in place of Booker should tell you how pathetic this team was when I took over.
