Keep 2 of 3: P Thomas, P Rivers, or A Rodgers

Postby thomasmj » Thu Aug 27, 2009 7:58 am

I'm in a 14 team league with a standard set of starters (1QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1TE, 1DEF, and 1K) and standard rules.

I can keep two of the following: Rivers in the 5th round, Rodgers in the 7th, and Pierre Thomas in the 8th.

My decision so far is to keep Rodgers (who is a later keeper who projects to be a better/similar to Rivers) and Pierre Thomas. Since we can't start 2 QBs, it seemed obvious to make my two keepers players who will be able to actually start games. I draft at slot 10, so I'm not going to wind up with a fantastic RB option, so getting great value out of the 8th round would be nice. However, I could also see the strength of having 2 of the top 5 or 6 QBs. I'd like to think I would be able to trade one of the QBs, but I couldn't find a way to move them last season so I don't think I can count on that.

What say the experts out there? Is this a no-brainer?

Thanks for helping a new member of the forum.

I believe that you're right on the money. Keep Rodgers and Thomas and go for the best RB/WR available with the 10th pick. Get a pick for Rivers if possible. A second rounder maybe? Anything is better than nothing.

I would look at there normal draft spot to see who is worth more. Thomas is a second round back so getting him for an eighth round price is huge. I also like Rogers over Rivers and only being able to start one should make your decision. It is hard to keep a guy in hopes of trading becuase you never get as much as you want for him.

My vote: Thomas and Rogers (great value for both)

Rodgers and Thomas. Try and move Rivers for a pick. Any pick would do to be honest if you're set on keeping those other two.
A win next week and all is forgotten.
