Keeper League Dilemma

I am in year 2 of a keeper league. I was hoping not to make this post TLDR, but I think in order to make an informed recommendation I have to give you all the background on the league.

The story is that you are allowed to keep no more than 2 players, and anyone that you drafted in the first 3 rounds is unavailable to keep. In addition the players that you keep cause you to lose a draft pick 2 rounds higher than he was drafted last year. Undrafted players who ended the season on your roster would cost you a 12th round pick. Looking at the rosters, I can only see 2 QBs who will likely be kept (Vick and Roethlisberger). For running backs, it's likely that Arian Foster, D. McFadden, Hillis, Blount and either Bradshaw or Torain are the only major guys kept and for receivers it's looking like Dez Bryant, Vincent Jackson, Ochocinco, and Steve Johnson are sure bets. In other words, there's going to be a fairly talented pool of guys available.

I've already decided that Jammal Charles who I got in the 4th round is a no-brainer for a keeper since I only lose a 2nd rounder to get potentially a top 5 pick. The real dilemma comes in whether I keep Hakeem Nicks who I got in the 5th round (meaning I would lose a 3rd rounder) or Mike Wallace who I got in the 7th round (meaning I would lose a 5th rounder). Nicks is obviously the better player but with the talent pool being as deep as it is, does keeping Wallace and my 3rd rounder make more sense? I really don't have any decent UDFA options on my roster (Josh Freeman, Jacob Tamme, Mike Goodson).

      Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair.

      it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
