10th and 11th Pick, Ray Rice as keeper

[Minnesota Guy]

I have Ray Rice as my keeper and have the 10th and 11th picks in this years draft. Knowing I have a top flight RB in Rice, who would you guys target for my first two picks? Should I take a top tier QB like Manning, Rodgers or Brees? Or take a back like Shonn Greene, D Williams, J Charles or Cedric Benson, or should I take a couple WRs? The best available will be Calvin Johnson, D. Jackson, B. Marshall. I like how I have options but would like some input on which strategy would be more effective?

I would try and walk away with another steady RB who gets alot of carries and goal line and the best WR you can get. You want to be balanced. You can get alot of value out of QB's in the middle rounds of the draft. Remember only a few qb's threw over 40 td's and a bunch came within 4.

Sorry fellas, should have provided a little more info. First, each of ten teams keeps one player from the year before. I am keeping Rice. There are 10 teams and I have the 10th pick(last pick first round) and 11th pick(1st pick second round). Non PPR league standard scoring. 6 pts per TD, 3 pts per passing TD. 1 pt every 10 yards rushing, receving, 1 pt per 20 yards passing.

Keepers
A. Johnson
R. Grant
R. Mendenhall
A. Peterson
R. Wayne
L. Fitzgerald
A. Rodgers
M. Turner
Chris Johnson
R. Rice

id target a RB and a WR. deangelo williams/randy Moss would be a nice start with Rice. basically go for best available. i wouldnt go QB unless Brees falls in your lap. In recent years its been a nice advantage to have one of those top WRs because there's a big drop-off after about the top 20.

I would go beast available with a RB/WR or WR/WR combo. There is a lot of depth at RB this year and you can fill out your RB2 in rounds 3-5 quite easily so don't be afraid to go WR/WR if the quality is there. As always, I will HIGHLY suggest to stay away from a QB with the 10th and 11th.

if you can trade up in the first round...i would grab MJD for sure


Best RBs in the draft
Jammal Charles
Ryan Matthews
Shonne Greene
MJD
Frank Gore
Steven Jackson
DWill

WRs
Austin
Roddy White
Brandon Marshal
Sidney Rice
Calvin Johnson
Desean Jackson


Since Qbs are worth far less in your league..id be aiming for an RB and Reciever..you can always grab Cutler later which will beast it this year
