With these players still available, who should I take with the 4th overall pick?

In a 12-team, 2-player keeper league. I've already got Aaron Rodgers in the 2nd, and Julius Thomas in the 18th. Here are the top 10 players available, to give you some context:

Arian Foster
DeMarco Murray
Le'Veon Bell
Demaryius Thomas
Drew Brees
Dez Bryant
Jordy Nelson
Montee Ball
Giovanni Bernard
Antonio Brown

Do I take an elite WR and risk having to wait until the 28th pick to snatch a starting RB (when the options will most likely be SLIM), or take a gamble on Foster/Ball/Murray and wait for WR depth later? Tough to predict if any starting RB will left by the 3rd round.

Thanks!

i would rank them DT then Dez, then if those are gone, I would look at rb next like you are saying...probably would target Ball personally, but i know some like bell and foster ahead of him

DT all the way. Top 3 WR.
Ball could...COULD be top 5 if he can hold onto the ball and block for Manning.
Bryant is the same as DT, but Manning>Romo, but still top 5 WR.
Brees could also be your pick as a top 3 QB.

Overall, I would go with DT though.

4th overall pick, depending on who everyone else is keeping, I would go with Demaryius.

To follow up with your bottom question i believe that WR is deep this year, but not a lot of elite receivers. RBs are slim, but do you really want to use your 4th overall pick on a guy like Foster who probably won't finish the season? Or Ball who is also high risk/reward? Murray will probably get injured as well. I think Demaryius is a safe pick for 4th overall and you go RB at 28. With Rodgers, Thomas & Thomas, you would have a solid foundation to build upon.

I'm just nervous that there will be NO ONE to pick from, RB-wise, when all the good ones (and even decent ones) are snatched up by the end of the third round.

Like I said, with Rodgers, Thomas & Thomas you won't need elite RBs. You should be able to suffice with RB2s. Now if you get really worried then you can always make a trade. If you want a RB bad, I would probably go with Ball or Bell.

Bernard, Ellington, J. Bell, Gore, A. Morris, Tate - All RB possibilities in the 3rd round. At the 4th spot, DT is really the only player that is worth it.
