Ball would be a 9th rounder, Bernard would be a 6th.
Luck would be an 11th rounder, Crabtree would be 16th (last round of our draft).
So the Ball/Bernard decision might be as simple as following rankings...but I suppose I'm just waiting to hear a compelling argument OTHER than "Look what Knowshon did in that offense." Or is that compelling enough??? Bengals fan here, so hard to be objective.
Other one...just can't decide between which position and value is better to keep. 1st year keeper player here.
Can't keep 2 RBs, for anyone wondering why it wouldn't be Ball and Bernard.
If your league is PPR, I MAY go with Bernard over Ball. But like Brandon said, Ball three rounds later is just too good a value. I suppose some risk comes with Ball, but from what I can tell they are pretty much handing him the keys to the RB1 job. If he struggles pass blocking or fumbles, not sure how long they stick with him. That's the only thing that worries me about him - if he's on a short leash. They didn't really address the position so I think it's his job.
Honestly, I think Ball and Luck is the no-brainer here. I love Bernard, and I might be able to talk myself into him if the rounds were reversed, but Ball as a 9th round keeper is just way too much upside to pass up. He's going mid-late first round in a lot of drafts right now and is an absolutely steal as a 9th round keeper. I'm fine with keeping Crabtree with your last round pick, so maybe it's not as obvious as I'm saying, but I think Luck in the 11th round is excellent value. His ADP is 6th round and he has the ability to be a top five fantasy QB this year. If it were me, I'd keep Ball and Luck.
I agree with Ball and Luck and so would John Paulsen in his rankings. The 9th round for Ball is unbelievable.
