12-team half PPR. Pick two keepers. 

AJ Green (1st)

Demarco Murray (4th)

Michael Thomas (4th)

Derrick Henry (6th)

Marcus Mariota (13th)

If I keep Demarco and Thomas I’d have to take them in the 3rd and 4th.

I like Thomas’s value in the fourth and while I’m loathe to keep a QB not named Rodgers the value for Mariota in the 13th is tempting since my league always jumps on QBs early. 

What would you do?

Do you know what your draft pick will be? If its around the end of round 1, I'd make a case for Green, as he's clearly your best player, and wouldn't fall that far in the draft. I'd pair him with Thomas.

If its a high first, I'd let Green go, and probably try to draft him back. In that scenario, I'd keep Thomas and Murray.

Like travdogg mentioned, more info would be helpful. What is your draft position?

If end of round 1, Pick Green and Mariota 

If early in Round 1, pick Michael Thomas and Mariota

I think Mariota is the easy one here, the value is stupendous and allows you to fully concentrate on filling your roster with RBs or WRs, nabbing those real value ones in the 7th-11th rounds when other teams start grabbing QBs, defenses, etc...

Appreciate any feedback to my question here - https://forums.footballguys.com/forum/forum/46-the-assistant-coach/ - thanks in advance!

Great question. I’m drafting 9th. Also dont have a 7th rd pick. For reference, roster construction is 

QB

RB

RB

WR/TE

WR/TE

RB/WR/TE

What are the caliber of players that will be available in the 1st round?  Do most people freeze their 1st round pick?  Will your 1.09 be more like 1.02 will all the players kept?

That info will play into whether Green should be considered.  Assuming there are 8-10 1st round quality players available to draft (or frozen so you are much sooner than 9th) I would go with Murray and Thomas.  If Green would be better than anybody you will be able to get at your 1.09 pick then I keep Green and Thomas.

AJ & Murray is late 1st. If early 1st, Thomas & Murray

I’m guessing all the usual suspects will be kept (Bell, DJ, Brown, OBJ, Julio, McCoy, Gordon, Jordy, Evans, Freeman, etc).

In mocks I’m seeing players like Marshawn, Fournette, Hyde, Cook, TY, Lamar, Amari, Baldwin drop for my first pick at 1.09. 

Thanks!
