    All of these guys are getting up in age and all of them are very talented. Lynch is the best value as a #9, but I'd keep the other two unless you have the #1 pick in the first round if you give Peterson away. In that case, you could drop Peterson and get him back immediately. If you drop Peterson and Manning, you won't be able to get either back. Keeping them will give you a top 3 RB and the top QB. Who could you possibly get for the #1 pick better than Peterson?

    Peterson and Manning. That's an easy call. Lynch is the one top RB that I see fall the most in the first round and he's a big part of the "falling under his projections" talk. Especially if a Super Bowl hangover (although unlikely) occurs. You will lose your round 1 and 2 picks but you don't pick until 11th in the first round so it's a good move since AP, Charles, McCoy, and Forte (top 4 RBs) will all be gone if you don't. I don't really need to explain why you should keep Peyton Manning. You'll lose one and two but wouldn't you still be happy with AP and Manning with your first two picks? I like those two the most. Hope this helps.

    None of these guys are ideal keepers. You want your keepers to be young guys who are just rounding into their prime, and will likely be productive for years to come. All three of these guys are in the twilight of their careers. This could be Manning's last season, and Lynch is reaching that age, coupled with a heavy workload the past three seasons, where he starts a steep decline. Don't you have better keeper options on your roster?

    I disagree. you want to win this year. You're not trying to build a team for the next 10 years. If you treat it like a regular snake draft you would be elated to get AP and Peyton in the first two rounds. So, take AP and Peyton and ride them to the 'ship.

    I understand that, but if you can name better players that are better picks ( that won't already be kept) in rounds 1, 2, and 9, then I would listen to what you have to say. Essentially you are telling me to give someone a monster team so I can keep two young wide receivers persay?
