Just had my draft, curious what you guys think. The league has been going for a few years now, we decided to make it a keeper league for the first time this year, so this draft was the first draft of a keeper league. 10 person league, 5 player bench, 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 Flex (RB/WR), TE, DST, K starters.

Was unfortunate enough to get the 1st overall :(

Rounds

1. Arian Foster. I debated taking Rodgers with this pick, but went with Foster since he's still so young and I figured worst case scenario I could take a chance on Luck later (being a keeper league and all.)

2. CAAAAAAM. Lept for joy when Cam was still available with the last pick of the 2nd round. Keeper league stud.

3. AJ Green. Maybe a little high for him, but building for the future here. The next Randy Moss, without the drama, in my opinion.

4. Jordy Nelson. Was really the BPA at the time, debated taking Sproles or Dez Bryant, but I figured Nelson was safer. Certainly won't repeat last year's production, but should be solid.

5. Ahmad Bradshaw. Was at a loss on this pick. Frank Gore was available, and maybe I shoulda taken him, but he's old and injury prone. Also seriously considered Benjarvus Green-Ellis, but went with the more proven guy with the better O-line.

6. Demaryius Thomas. Young guy, showed lots of promise with The Golden Calf of Bristol throwing him the ball. Now that he has Peyton throwing him the ball he should comparatively be an All Pro heh.

7. Antonio Brown. Another young WR, new contract, Wallace could still get shipped out leaving him the #1 spot. With these last two picks the options were Eric Decker, either of the Eagles WRs (thought hard about Maclin, but he's never overly impressed me), Meacham, Cedric Benson (thought hard about him too), Beanie Wells.

8. Deangelo Williams. Didn't go into the draft planning on drafting a bunch of Panthers players, but Deangelo was the BPA there, really. I saw I was running out of time to fill out my RB stable.

9. Donald Brown. Same as above (these were back to back picks). Brown will be a featured back. Other choices were Michael Bush, Kevin Smith, Daniel Thomas. Thought about Thomas, but he hasn't looked good in any regular season game I've seen him in. Think he might have been overhyped.

10. Justin Blackmon. Pick for the future. He's looked good so far, but he has no one throwing him the ball. High risk-high reward pick in the 10th.

11. Greg Olsen. Only Panther I went into the draft targeting. Good value in the 11th, in my opinion. All the "elite" TEs were gone, I think Greg will at least be knocking on the "elite" door this year. Choices at the time of these last two picks were Mark Ingram, Lance Moore, Titus Young, Rashard Jennings. Thought about the last two in the 10th, but went with the upside of Blackmon.

12. Mikel Leshoure. I think he'll be a stud and a feature back if he gets healthy and stays out of trouble. Big if's, but it's the 12th round.

13. Ravens DST. Second to last round, time for a DST. Good thing about getting #1 overall is that I get my choice of DST out of people who wait for last two rounds for DST/K. They may be getting a bit older and Suggs is out for at least most of the season, but they're still elite.

14. And with the final pick, I took Nate Kaeding. Upper tier fantasy K usually, if he hasn't recovered from his leg injury I can just pick up someone in FA.

I really didn't plan on going so Panther heavy, but that's just kind of where the chips fell. What you guys think?

You did really well IMO...especially with it being a keeper league.

Wow, really good. I take it, it is a 10 team league. The only pick I didn't like was Williams because if everyone stays healthy it is difficult for him to get enough carries. Got burned on him on two teams last year and decided to avoid them year. Would have taken Smith and pretty much locked up the Lion backfield, maybe even Tate if he was available for some Foster protection. Everyone after Bradshaw was pretty a great pick. Everyone before was solid enough to make some noise.

Hopefully, Olsen works out, but keep a close eye on Cook(probably drafted), Rudolph, Keller. They all could very well be the second receiving option on there teams. And Rudolph could be a goal line beast.

I had 4 teams last year and was targeting Olsen and Graham late. One time someone got Olsen right before I picked, and lucky for me I got Graham. That was the one team that I got the championship with, and I know if I had choose Graham over Olsen on all of them I would have had at least one more. Just wanted to say don't let your Panther knowledge cloud your fantasy knowledge

It shouldn't though because as of right now I think that your team may be better than all the ones that I have.

      What a Possible Trading Out of 1st Round May* Look Like

      BREAKING!!! Panthers signing Packers LT Rasheed Walker

      Even if he beats the odds, returns midseason  and plays like he did last year it won’t warrant a big contract extension.

      BREAKING!!! Panthers signing Packers LT Rasheed Walker

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      It’ll be interesting to see how the board falls I completely agree with you on TE for us The safety from Oregon would be the cherry on top for Evero’s defense/scheme.  If a OL’men is there that you love it would be very hard to pass up. This fan base seems to just see Walker as a stop gap but I wouldn’t be so sure. He’s the same age as Ekwonu. He’s had a much more impressive career arc/progression than Icky has. He’s the better pass protector. As far as I see it if Walker has a good year I’d bring him back over Icky. Ekwonu isn’t some elite franchise LT. Playing next to Lewis is going to be great for Walker much like it has been for Icky. We definitely need to get younger/cheaper on the OL though so for this reason alone it’s still top of my list come round 1 if board falls this way  Could also use another corner with Mike Jackson’s deal up after this season and needing a nickel but Corey Thornton looked really good in that role in the limited time we got to see him. However he’s coming off an achillies injury and you never know with those.  Then as mentioned above we do still have a need at WR. As far as “weapons” go it’s kind of a 2 man show with Tmac and Coker and neither is a burner. If Jordan Tyson is there at 19 and we can have a young WR group locked up for cheap that’s a huge advantage cap wise  And don’t forget linebacker. That clip in Devin’s Lloyd blueprint they used from Evero saying they need more intelligence there could’ve been left out for Wallace’s sake but it’s true. Wallace is lost in coverage. Pair a smart linebacker with Lloyd and that’s a group with Wallace and Cherelus being depth
