Keeper Question: Hightower (15th round) or VJax (6th round)?

Postby loomer1000 » Fri Aug 07, 2009 1:31 pm

I'm in a 12 team keeper league. I draft in the 3 position and I have one keeper dilemma.

Do I keep Tim Hightower who will only cost me a 15th round selection or do I keep Vincent Jackson who will cost me a 6th round selection.

My other keepers are Aaron Rogers, Ronnie Brown and Roddy White.

What round did you grab White or Brown in?

Snowflakes are tougher than Beanie Wells.

Keep Hightower.

White will cost me a 5th round and Brown a 4th round pick. The other risk of keeping VJax is I have no middle round picks 4,5,6 and 8 (A. Rodgers).

I'm not huge on Hightower but I also can keep him for next to nothing for the next 5 years if he develops.

I would go with Hightower. If Wells doesn't stay healthy, Hightower is going to get the carries and produce. You are getting him for nothing as well.

I would gamble on Hightower. I think that the 6th round is a little high for V JAX.

I'll take the other road and keep VJax. If you keep 4 players, then the 6th round is actually the 10th round and I would love to get VJax in the 10th or even the 6th round in any draft.
