What draft pick to have
In my league we get to choose our pick based on how last year finished. I get first option overall.

It is also a keeper league. I'll have Cam Newton and DeAndre Hopkins.

Should I take the first pick overall and take the clear cut best and most reliable player Antonio Brown and have an awesome WR core but have to take 2 RBs with rounds 2 and 3.

Or take the second pick and take LeVeon Bell or Brown whichever drops to me. If its Bell i gave a great RB1 and WR1 (hopkins) but Bell has his issues coming off an injury. This move would give me more options with the 2nd and 3rd round picks.

My feeling is no matter what RB i take in the top 25 picks is going to have issues. From Bell to Forte to Murray they are all gambles. Why not take the sure thing in Brown and wait to see who drops at the end of the second round at RB. Just do patchwork throughout the year with my RBs

    I'd go 4 or 5 and grab whichever top end wr is available at that point. Picks 3+4 are also probably taking wr in the first round, so you'll want draft 4 or 5 to pick best available rb in round 2 before they do.

    I say let go of Newton, you can get a solid QB later in the draft. Keep Hopkins and take the first pick to get Brown. Big Ben hits Antonio Brown a lot. Also Martavius Bryant is suspended. Those 2 receivers should kill it for you. Be sure to go RB RB for your 24 & 25 pick though. It will start getting thin at RB soon after that.

    Who are the other top options available? I'm pretty sure most 1st round redraft caliber players are already being kept? Beckham, Robinson, Gurley, etc....

    Assuming those guys aren't available, take Brown

    Correct. Gurley, Freeman, Robinson, Beckham.. All kept. I'm going with the best possible WR core with Brown and Hopkins. And draft 2 RBs back to back with the 24th and 25th picks.

    Just throwing this out there --- I'm not sure if you can trade keepers or not, but if you can, I would at least entertain the idea of trading Cam. He's great, but assuming this is a one-QB league, I'd much rather have a top RB or WR than him. After his superb '15 season, Cam will likely be overvalued in drafts this year.

    You have Newton and are considering throwing him back? No offense, but assuming he in fact tallied #1 overall in your system, you'd be crazy to let him go. He gets KB back this year, remember? All this 'value' talk is a joke. You want as many top end players at as many positions as possible. QB's score more than anyone, Rodgers is getting up there, Brees IS up there, Brady is out a month, Wilson looks temping but he'll have little run support and his O line is even worse, so basically it's either Luck or Newton. Don't get greedy.

    If you think Antonio Brown is the best player by a large margin (is it PPR?), then better take 1st pick. Otherwise, go with the 2nd pick or lower. If it was me, I'd want to be down even further so there is room for the guys picking above me to make a mistake (instead of making one myself) and then get a better 2nd round pick. Of course, that is partially because I don't believe Brown\Bell to be that far ahead of the rest of the top guys.

    I've always liked picking at the tail end of the first round and getting a crack at two really quality players. If it's PPR, though, AB is hard to pass up.

    In my opinion, you can't really go wrong with either guy at either spot. For that reason, I'd probably just take the 2nd pick and take whichever one falls to me. But if you like Brown a lot more, then I would just keep the 1st pick as it doesn't make a huge difference in the next round.
