Obviously, things will continue to change with the start of preseason, but two pieces of news just crossed the wire this afternoon that may change the situation.

(1) Mike Shanahan says Denver’s starting RB job is open for competition. With his tendency to play the hot hand, this worries me.

(2) Ravens LT Jared Gaither went down with an ankle injury at camp and was carted off the field.

I think you’re right with the keepers but I’m going to dangle McGahee on the trade block and see if I can’t get a better offer before I let him go.

Thanks.

if I understand your system correctly, you lose whatever pick next to those players you keep, so if you kept McGahee, you wouldn’t have your second round pick.

I’d probably let McGahee go back into the draft and keep Gore, Housh and Young, given the cheap cost of Young. After you draft LT, you’ll have LT, Gore and Young, so you can go WR in the 2nd round, which if I understand this correctly, should give you a pretty good WR.

Keeper League: 1QB, 2RB, 3WR, 1TE, 1RB/WR, DEF, K
Standard Scoring with No PPR

RB1 Frank Gore (5th Rd)
RB2 Willis McGahee (2nd Rd)
WR1 TJ Housh (3rd Rd)
RB3 Selvin Young (16th Rd)

I can only keep three of these players. I also hold the #1 overall pick in our draft which will land me LT. Who’s the 3rd keeper – Housh or Young? Young has excellent keeper value, but Housh is a Top 10 WR.

If I give Housh back, there’s a possibility that I may be able to redraft him in the 3rd round given the number of teams who lose 2nd round picks for keepers. If I miss on him, I should definitely be able to land Santonio Holmes or Dewayne Bowe in the 3rd round.

Another option is to trade McGahee (2nd Rd) for Thomas Jones (6th Rd) and Brandon Jacobs (8th Rd) keepers. This would leave me with LT, Gore, Jones and Jacobs plus open up up my 2nd and 3rd round picks for WR/WR or QB. With 36 keepers being taken out of the draft, my early picks are pretty damn valuable.

Thoughts?

I felt then that GB should have let him go and stay retired and quite frankly I have not changed my mind now that there is talk of him going to my Tampa Team.

How do you not know when you want to retire? I said then that he was in retirement mode and I still think he is. He went home and its booring to him after being in the lime-light all those years…poor baby

Go to the Jets Brett…………I don’t need you, you’re done and NY will eat you alive…you won’t be in Green Bay anymore. Or stay retired, enjoy the money and go into the booth like everybody else.
