Roster Overview: Part II

Time to look at last year's rosters for each team and make observations on what each team might be looking to do as far as their keeper situation. I'll be doing this in 4 installments of 3 teams apiece.

Me (Bay Area Tanners)

QB: Eli Manning

WR: DeAndre Hopkins, Kamar Aiken, Randall Cobb, Rueben Randle, DeVante Parker, Dorial Green-Beckham, T.Y. Hilton

RB: Matt Forte, Latavius Murray, Danny Woodhead, Christine Michael, Kendall Gaskins

TE: Greg Olsen

Potential Keepers: DeAndre Hopkins, DeVante Parker, Dorial Green-Beckham, Greg Olsen

Overview: What a clusterfuck of a roster I have. Outside of Hopkins (who, I'm 100% keeping in round 3) there's noone else who really stands out. The reason I'm not putting Latavius Murray, and T.Y. Hilton as potential keepers is It would force me to keep of them along with Hopkins in Round 2 since they were all 3rd round picks. I'm willing to cut bait there. Also NO WAY do I keep Randall Cobb in round 2...that guy TORPEDOED my season. Greg Olsen would be the "safe" keep in the 4th round, but I don't know if I want to waste a keeper slot on a tight end. I'm leaning towards a 14th round keep of DeVante Parker, but he could end up being an irrelevant pick. I basically enter the season with the worst case scenario of finishing the highest without placing (4th) which turns into a shitty draft pick of what's left from the keepers. Not feeling too optimistic about this year.

Dad (BigBadBob)

QB: Cam Newton

WR: Brandin Cooks, Michael Floyd, Larry Fitzgerald, Robert Woods, Vincent Jackson

RB: Thomas Rawls, Jeremy Langford, Gio Bernard, Marshawn Lynch, Shane Vereen

TE: Travis Kelce, Zach Ertz, Coby Fleener

Potential Keepers: Cam Newton, Brandin Cooks, Michael Floyd, Thomas Rawls, Jeremy Langford

Overview: What looked like a no brainer before the playoffs started (Rawls and Langford) is now a tricky situation as both the Bears and Seahawks added a ton of RB options to their teams which means maybe Rawls and Langford won't be the workhorses everyone thought they were after all. Rawls is coming off a major injury as well. It'll be interesting as those guys would be 13/14th round keepers, but Cam Newton as a 9th rounder is hard to ignore. Also if Michael Floyd really has gotten to the next level, he's intriguing in round 7..Brandin Cooks was pretty damn good during the stretch run for Dad and he would cost a 3rd rd pick. Dad's got a ton of things to weigh, and it'll be interesting to see where he plans to go.

Drew (Sons Of The Harpy)

QB: Tom Brady, Marcus Mariotta

WR: Allen Robinson, Demaryius Thomas, Amari Cooper, Allen Hurns, Kendall Wright, Willie Sneed

RB: Adrian Peterson, Buck Allen, C.J. Anderson, Antonio Andrews, Ameer Abdullah

TE: Julius Thomas

Potential Keepers: Allen Robinson, Adrian Peterson, Amari Cooper, Julius Thomas

Overview: Drew's keeping Allen Robinson and Peterson..no doubt about it. I'll include a couple possibilities in case injuries happen. Amari Cooper had a great rookie season and will only get better with Derek Carr throwing him the ball. He's not a bad keep in Round 4. Julius Thomas could be a darkhorse too as a 10th round keep. Barring something catastrophic though, it's going to be Allen Robinson and AD.
