Also just for me I hate keepers, it just ruins the draft completely even if it's just 1-2. Especially with new people coming in it makes it even worse.
If we're voting I vote for a fresh redraft but its whatever.
I have no problem with 1 or 2 Keepers. I've been in baseball leagues of 2 Keepers.
In my case, I doubt I would give up a Pick One to keep Barkley. Not sure if I drafted Mahomes 2 or 3, I'll try to find where last years drafts are in system. I would not Keep both and then struggle to get pass catchers. I see Barkley going fast in mock drafts, but he was a mistake by me last year so early in draft, as was Deebo Samuel who 49ers didn't use as much as in 2021. I was not going to Keep Mahomes either, but since I can't get a Jefferson or Chase type, maybe lock in my QB as Mahomes and build around that. If it turns out I took him in 3 and only have to give up a 2, even better. I need to pull up last years draft, wherever that is.
OK, Mahomes was a 3 so I would have to give up a 2, but not bad, I still get a Pick One. I see the RB Wilson for 49ers and Dolphins last year was a pick 14, and maybe worth a pick 13. He put up OK fantasy points, and only got traded because 49ers added McCaffrey in mid season. I might need a pick 13 RB, and Wilson at 13 as a Keeper not bad. He had big weeks at Miami in Fantasy Points for a Pick 13 Keeper...So maybe I Keep Mahomes in Round 2 and RB- Wilson in Round 13. It gives me plenty of room to draft other needs besides a starting QB and a back up RB. I could have a Round One, then Mahomes, then 3 to 12, then RB-Wilson, then rest of draft. Not bad, and I put Barkley back in draft pool, and I get a Round One Pick. Sounds like a plan. Keep Mahomes and still have a Round One, and build a team around Mahomes as a Round 2 Keeper. Some weeks Wilson gave me more points than Barkley, not bad for a Round 13 Keeper as opposed to a Round 1 Keeper.
I have no problem with League Manager having ONE or TWO Keepers per team. I think I can still build a better team than the sorry, stinking, lousy, record losing streak team that I put together last year. I'm still on the record breaking losing streak until I get a Win in 2023. Some of you guys goals are play-offs, but my first goal is to end one of longest losing streaks in this leagues history. I had too many players pretty much take the whole season off, what a flop Renfro for Raiders was for me after so tough against Bengals in 2021. Theilan of Vikings was a flop. One of my biggest flops was Deebo Samuel, who I took in round 2. No pass catchers ended up in no wins.
