I'm in an 8 team Keeper League. My 4 keepers are Portis, Henry, Bledsoe, and Ward. I'm taking a WR in the 1st round of the draft, and I'm wondering who (of the available players), I should take.

Here's the best of who's available (in the order of my initial preference). All the other stud WR's were kept by others:

1. Driver
2. Horn
3. Burress
4. Coles
5. Peerless
6. Toomer
7. K. Robinson
8. Torry Holt
9. Troy Brown
10. Issac Bruce

Should I be looking at someone other than Driver for my 1st pick?

Driver isn't worth your first pick. Your first pick should be either Horn, Burress, or K-Rob.

I would definitely take Burris or Horn. They are proven players in offenses that should give will give them the opportunity to excel.

I have Burress rated the highest of those WR, but you already have Ward... I'd take K-Rob.

I wouldn't make Driver my first choice given the other receivers whom you have listed. Honestly, I think I am the only believer in Peerless Price this year and am the only one who feels he will improve on last years' statistics. He and Vick are really clicking at camp, spending a lot of time together looking at film and ways they can improve their games together. I feel that Price will be a Top10 receiver by the end of the year (although Koren Robinson, Plaxico Burress and Joe Horn (maybe Isaac Bruce) all probably will, too) but, if I were you and had those choices, I'd choose Peerless. He will be Vick's #1 target this year, unlike last year when Eric Moulds was still Bledsoe's go-to guy and I think Price will hold his own as the go-to guy in Hotlanta.
