I didn't keep anyone - who's the best of these leftovers?

[kettledrum]

I’m in a 12 team non PPR keeper league where we can keep up to two players and forfeit our round one and round two picks in return. We start 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, K, D

I elected not to keep anyone from my roster last year and will have the 2nd and 4th overall picks in this years draft. I’ll also have the 12th pick. I expect a mix of RBs and WRs to be taken between my pick at #4 and #12 based on who has been kept by the other teams.

The best available RBs are

Slaton
Westbrook
Jacobs
Pierre Thomas
R. Brown
K. Smith

The best available WRs are:

Fitz
Andre Johnson
Megatron

Brady is the only available QB that is worth even thinking twice about here.

If Slaton falls to me I’ll take him, but I’m a little torn between everyone else. Westbrook’s always an injury concern. Will Jacobs make it the entire year?

What would your strategy be with this available talent? Does anyone take an elite WR with either of these two picks?

if Slaton is there i would definately take him and then one of the WR's at #4

if Slaton is gone, i think i might take Fitz and then either AJ or CJ at #4. Westbrook is really falling down my board, i just dont trust him to stay healthy

I would pick Fitz and then Brown. Personal preference, maybe, but you get a stud WR and a RB who has a good chance to put up very big numbers. Slaton is small and hasn't had to go an entire season as a starter yet, Jacobs and Westy are injury-prone. I think Thomas might be available with the later pick. Smith is the other back I would consider, but I like Brown's upside better.

If Slaton is there at #4 I'd take him 100%. If not, I'd probably take the best available WR.

MJD is smaller in height and weight than Slaton and he still produces. Chris Johnson is taller than Slaton, but weighs 15 pounds less. Slaton isn't as small as everyone makes him out to be.

Slaton: Height: 5-9 Weight: 215
MJD: Height: 5-7 Weight: 208
C. Johnson: Height: 5-11 Weight: 200

Between my pick at #4 and my next pick at #12 I expect there to be 3-5 WR taken and 1-3 RB taken off the board unless someone goes RB-RB-RB which is possible. I know I need to take at least one WR with my #2 or #4 picks, as the elite guys will be gone by then, but I'm thinking of taking two if Slaton isn't there. It's a bit unnerving to go WR-WR. Definitely goes against the grain.
