Keeper League Question?

Standard League (NOT PPR) with ten teams. Each team gets two keepers, and then the option for a third keeper. The third keeper option is what's unique--it's more of a value pick. So essentially, if you choose to keep a third player, you lose your pick in the round before where that keeper was taken the prior year. For example, let's say Percy Harvin was drafted in the 12th round last year. If the team decided to keep him as their third keeper, they would lose their 11th round pick this year.

I already have Jamaal Charles and Montee Ball as my keepers, but now I need to determine my value pick keeper. Here's my dilemma:

--Do I keep Keenan Allen, who was undrafted last year? That means, I'd only lose my final round pick (round 16)

--Do I keep C.J. Spiller, who was a carry over from the prior year keeper system, so I'd lose a 9th round pick.

I'm leaning toward Allen, but there's a lot of talk about Spiller bouncing back.

I also have the options of Michael Crabtree and losing a 15th rounder, Matthew Stafford and losing a 5th rounder (not ideal), Brandon Marshall and losing a 3rd rounder (or first rounder after keepers...I think I can get him or someone of equal value there anyway), or Jordan Cameron and losing a 16th rounder.

Thoughts? Please back your answer with explanation.

THanks.

    Keenan Allen is a huge value biggest in my opinion, B. Marshall is an early to mid 2nd rounder in 10 team. I'd take Keenan or Cameron. Keenan based on ADP is somewhere late 3rd or early 4th round, Cameron is mid-late 6-7th round. Based on the SDC offense and Rivers throwing the ball, the route running and the way Keenan attacks the ball when thrown I would keep him you may be able to get Cameron back or Gronk unless someone else kept him through injury. Keenan for the last rnd ended with 1046, 8 tds in 15 games that's pretty darn good imo. Cameron also did well but tailed off towards the end.

    To me, the keepers in this list should be Charles and Marshall. I think I would also keep either Cameron or Allen, I'd almost lean towards Cameron because he is emerging as a top TE, and only losing a 16th round pick for him is huge. I think you can improve from Ballwith your first round pick.

    I'll believe the Spiller bounceback when I see it. They said the same thing last season, and they didn't have Bryce Brown chomping at the bit (along with F Jax, of course).

    The value on getting Allen as your last round pick is insane. I think he'll be a top 7-8 WR this year. This is about value, not who might be the better player. .

    Allen is BETTER than Marshall..Beleve me:)

    Keep Allen..

    Stafford is really good,but I would drop him & try to redraft him.

    And,Gerhart has BEAST potential this year;Maybe more so than Spiller.Gerhart will NOT share caries with anyone:)
