I have to keep 4, cut 3; please help pick 4

[bill11011]

We overdraft and then cut 3 players before the season starts. I have 7 crappy options for my last 4 spots. Any help for which ones to keep would be appreciated (or if I should cut one my players below instead)...

RB Tashard Choice
WR Earl Bennett, Chansi Stuckey, Chaz Schillens, Keenan Burton, Robert Meachem
TE Martellus Bennet

Rest of roster (number of starters at position)
QB (1) Tom Brady, Daunte Culpepper, Matt Schaub
RB (2) Westbrook, M Barber, L Maroney, M Bush
WR (3) Chris Chambers, L Coles, D Mason, D Driver
TE (1) Brent Celek
DEF (1) NYG, PHI

there is no need for Daunte Culpepper to be on your roster at all especially with Brady/Schaub... cut him for sure...


cut Culpepper, Keep: Teshard Choice, Earl Bennett, Robert Mechem, Martellus Bennett. in Culpepper's slot i would take a chance on Keenan Burton (neither really have much value, but Burton is at least starting)...

If must drop 3 - I'd drop Culpepper (or try to get a different QB asap), drop either NY or PHI - don't keep both and waste a skill spot on a defense (unless you have to) and probably drop Burton or Schillens. Of all the receivers you have they have the least "curb appeal".

Thanks for the help. I should explain a little...

First, I know that I did a very bad job drafting WR and depth. It's a modified auction and I just kinda missed out on all the WR talent and realized my mistake when it was too late.

Second, we have a rule that we can keep up to 3 players drafted after the 10th "round" for free if we don't play them the year before. Schaub qualifies and with Brady I was hoping not to have to use him. Hence the Culpepper - hoping that he might be starting and give me just one week when Brady's not playing.

Third, since we overdraft, there's not a lot out there on the WW until everyone cuts 3 and then I'll see what I can pick up. Right now the top QB options are Leftwich, Kellen Clemens, & Derek Anderson. I will try to grab Leftwich if he looks like the starter when the WW opens up. However, there is always the possibility that something better becomes available after 36 players are cut from rosters.

Fourth, in the past defenses have been hard to come by in this league because most people carried 2 on their roster. Even still, it was a mistake to pick 2 so high and I realized it as the stupidity was coming out of my mouth. Live and learn I guess. I swear it was just a bad year.

Anyway, thanks again for the help. I appreciate the very good advice. I think I will be cutting PHI, Culpepper, & Schillens, and then hope to drop Stuckey/Burton (depending on Stuckey's status) and pick up a better backup QB on the WW.
