Due to format of league, I have the chance to keep a player drafted after round 10 and use the round they were drafted. FA pick ups turn into last (19) round. Here are my possibilities, I have a player I am leaning towards, but curious for others feedback.
Pretty standard PPR format- QB/3RB/2WR/1TE/1WR-TE FLEX
Mark Clayton - round 16 Sam Bradford- round 17 Jimmy Graham, Danny Amendola, Emmanual Samuels- Rd 19
I realize there is no home run here, just trying to maximize value.
Graham was my initial pick as well, but I am starting to move away from him. I'm not sure I believe in him enough not to want another TE on my roster. I actually think Bradford is on the cusp of being a QB1, so kind of like the thought of entering the draft knowing I can wait and gamble at QB. I could hypothetically wait and draft QB12, who I have as Flacco, and have a pretty serviceable tandem at QB without using a pick in the first probably 8-9 rounds.
Of course if Clayton is back, healthy and still a Ram- he was a great value for me last year before he got hurt....

I agree about Bradford. You've got to like his chances of being a good #1 QB with McDaniels coming on board. I don't like Clayton as much because he's got so much competition at WR - Avery, Robinson, Amendola. It's impossible to know which one will win that battle.
Graham would be a good keeper, too. I don't know how consistent he will be for yardage, but he's a great red-zone target and should score a lot of TDs.
If it's me, I go with Bradford. It comes down to who I can see being an every-week starter. I think Bradford could be that guy, I think Jimmy Graham is going to be maddeningly inconsistent this year.
So after being set on Graham, I think I am now firmly leaning Amendola's way. He seems to be set for a Wr #3 with 2 upside in a PPR format. I am starting to have bust concerns with Graham and all his hype.
