I had my first draft this past Saturday.
Wanted to get Cobb, but it didn't happen, now I'm PO'ed lol.

It's a 14 team IDP keeper league (6 on Offense, 6 on Defense), keepers are given 3 year contracts, so if you draft a guy this year, he's an S3, once he hits S1 he'll be a Free Agent at the start of the next season.

My keepers:
RB DeMarco Murray Phi S2
RB Joquie Bell Det S1
RB Jonathan Stewart Jax S2
WR AJ Green Cin S2
WR Jeremy Maclin KC S2
WR DeAndre Hopkins Hou S1

Required Starters: 1 QB, 1 RB, 1 WR, 1 TE and 4 flex (any combo RB/WR/TE).

Pick 9th (keep in mind that you want to pick a player that will give you the best over a 3 year span)

1st 8 Picks:
1 QB Luck
2 RB Charles
3 RB McCoy
4 QB Brees
5 WR Andre Johnson
6 RB TJ Yeldon
7 WR TY Hilton
8 LB Justin Houston

Best Offense left in Round 1
RB Alfred Morris Wash OR WR Alshon Jeffrey Chi or QB Russell Wilson or TE Jordan Cameron?
TBH I didn't think both Morris and Jeffrey would be there for me to choose form.

Who would you take and any insight you'd like to provide as to why not one of the others?

Maybe its just me but I would take Jordan Cameron out of the equation to start off with, guy never lives up to his hype mainly due to injury. Is TE emptied out outside of Cameron?

Alfred Morris is a solid pick but for a guy you hear people throw around the word "consistent" and "you know what your gonna get" he sure does have a ton of just downright terrible games. For example 6 games under 5 points last year, 9 games under 10, I wouldn't call that consistent and when a RB has single digit points in over half of his games I don't love the guy. Also that Redskins Oline has looked god awful in the preseason.

For me it would come down to Russel Wilson or Alshon Jeffrey.

Russel Wilson seems to be the definition of consistent but also the type of guy that can give you a 30+ point game a couple times a year. Outside of 5 games last year he never had less that 16 points with 3 30+ point games. No idea how the QB pool looks after Wilson so that may have an affect on your pick. Should be more of the same maybe some improvement with Jimmy Graham coming in for those redzone targets.

Alshon Jeffrey is the last and he is the clear cut #1 WR in that Bears offense with Kevin White out and Brandon Marshall traded. Was really solid last year but he did have Brandon Marshall playing opposite of him so you have to wonder how he will do being the only legit target at WR in that offense, I would think fine with Forte still running well and he did fine when Marshall would miss time last year(13 points against NO and DET). Will get plenty of looks and should put up solid numbers even with the opposing Defense focusing on him. 

Honestly I don't think you'd be unhappy with any of those guys outside of Cameron. Morris might not be anything special or he could break out if RG3 stays healthy and he turns it up for his contract year, Russel Wilson is Russel Wilson and Alshon is the only reliable WR Cutler has so he will get his points every game. I'd honestly go Wilson or Alshon but thats just me.
