Who you should have kept

Since I already have the audacity to write a column on who's draft was good each season, I figured I'd double down and tell you guys who your keeper should have been. Why not? Clearly I'm completely full of shit, why not share it with everyone. I'll follow this year's draft order, since that's how Nick laid it down earlier. Also for the record, I'm not trying to dog anyone, just trying to get the fantasy ball rolling. It's been too quiet around the TLB heading into the season.

1. Leesburg Leghounds - Kept: Demarco Murray. : Should have kept: Brandon Marshall. Well, frankly, I'd say Adam nailed his keeper. It's hard to argue with a 1-2 round RB with the 6th pick. But, for the sake of argument, I said Brandon Marshall. Marshall is also going at the end of the 1st, start of the second round and he's significantly more dependable. He's a little more costly with a second round pick, but since Adam has the first pick, he's only giving up the 20th overall pick for a nigh guaranteed top WR. Still, he's probably right to go with Murray, all told. Curse him and his fantasy prowess.
2. FSU Warchant - Kept: Peyton Manning. Should have kept: DeMaryius Thomas. This is another nit picky one. It's hard to fault Cal for keeping the top QB on most boards with a 4th round pick. Still Demaryius Thomas is the second overall wideout on a lot of preseason boards and a 3rd rounder for him is money in the bank. 
3. Dallas Danglers - Kept: Percy Harvin. Should have kept: Antonio Brown. Mike is hoping that Harvin puts together an injury free season. If he does, Mike is a genius. Harvin will be fantastic for a 14th round value and maybe the best keeper of them all. If, however, he is actually Percy Harvin and doesn't play a full season, he's still pretty good value, but Antonio Brown in the sixth is also really great value, with a lot fewer question marks. I will admit to having a flagrant pro Steelers bias however.
4. Heaven's Own - Kept: Drew Brees. Should have kept: Eric Decker. Drew Brees in the third isn't bad value. He's a lock to be a top 5 QB every year. Plus Kevin is a Saints fan, so it makes perfect sense. Still Eric Decker could be set to have a big season as the only reasonable target for the Jets. It's a little more risky, but only costs him a 7th rounder. 
5. GAC Nation -Kept: Adrian Peterson. Should have kept: Danny Woodhead. OK, this looks ludicrous as I type it out. AP or Danny Woodhead is really no comparison. Gabe gave up his 5th overall pick for a guy who is probably going to be picked 3rd overall at the latest. Not a bad play. Plus AP is a machine. Still, giving up that first pick is tough. That's why you keep Woodhead, who had a decent season last year and looks to likely have an even better one on the horizon. 
6. VA Sixpack - Kept: Aaron Rodgers. Should have kept: Jordy Nelson. Aaron Rodgers in the second is safe and reasonable. Can't say anything bad about that pick. Still Jordy Nelson in the 8th, however, is a bit of an upgrade in my opinion. 
7. Innsmouth Fisheyes - Kept: Knowshon Moreno. Should have kept: Julio Jones. Knowshon had a great season last year, no doubt. With a 12 rounder it seems like a smart pick to keep him if you get that type of production. The problem is that his knees probably aren't going to allow it. Also he's Dolphin now and their Oline is sketchy at best. Still he did look ok in the third preseason game. Julio Jones struggled with injury and had a rough season in 2013. He's gonna be out to prove that was a fluke.
8. Team Vipperman - Kept: Eddie Lacy. Should have kept: Jimmy Graham. Fine, Eddie Lacy in the fourth is a home run. Can't deny that. But I'm second guessing here, so Jimmy Graham in the second is what's up. The single best tight end in the league in the second round. You gotta lock that down. 
9. Duke Dawgs - Kept: Leveon Bell. Should have kept: LeSean McCoy. If Le'Veon Bell had of not looked like ass in the preseason last year, I'd be the one keeping him this year. It's frustrating for me. Still he's a money pick in the 11th. but LeSean McCoy with the 9th overall pick is pretty damn money too. Champagne problems for the defending champs. 
10. Evil Penguin - Kept: Alshon Jeffrey. Should have kept: Giovanni Bernard. Yep, I even second guess myself. (Although, frankly, that's not unusual.) I antagonized on which of these two too keep. Alshon developed into a top tier receiver, which is hard to ignore with a 14th round pick. Gio in the 6th is also a great pick. Matt Forte in the second round was also in the mix. 

Anyway, hope you enjoyed my nonsense. Despite writing this early, I'm refusing to release it until after the draft. Can't let you guys know what I really think about later round players.
