NBD 2010 - Keeper Possibilities

I was sitting around today watching the World Cup or the U.S. Open or some other such summer sport nonsense when an ad for the Hall of Fame Game (August 8th) unexpectedly popped up. I nearly crapped myself. Amidst all the hooplah over the draft and then Albert Haynesworth's ridiculous trade demands, I'd forgotten that at some point in the not-too-distant future, football players will actually take the field and play actual football games. And with those games will come fantasy. With this realization upon me, I knew I had to do something, but that Hall of Fame Game is still 48 days away, with the regular season even more removed. There wasn't that much I could do, really, except...
publish the list of possible NBD Keepers for this season, despues de saltar.

A quick reminder of what qualifies a player in our labyrinthine system to be keeper-eligible: The player must have been acquired by the trade-keeper deadline of 11/20/09 and remained on your roster through to the end of the season. They can not have been drafted within the first three rounds of the draft. A player acquired via the draft (or drafted and then traded) will cost you the round they were drafted in. A player acquired via free agency will cost you a 15th-round pick. You may keep any two players as well as a third player if he was a rookie in 2009.
With those restrictions in mind, here is a list of each owner's possible keepers for 2010, with the round they'll cost in parentheses. Rookies will have an asterisk. In italics, you will find information on how the player was obtained. That info has no impact on the player's keepability, I just thought it'd be interesting to look back on. Key: D = drafted; D/T(x) = drafted & traded (by owner); FA($) = acquired via free agency (amount paid); FA/T(x) = acquired via free agency & traded (by owner)

If any of this looks wrong, or you think there's someone who should be keepable for you who isn't listed here, let me know and I'll try to get to the bottom of it. One question I know will be asked: if you want to keep multiple players with a 15th-round value, they will cost you a 14th and a 15th, or a 13th/14th/15th as the case may be. Otherwise, players with similar round values will cost you the next round (i.e. two 5th-round values would cost your 5th- and 6th-round picks.
Let the teeth-gnashing and speculating begin. See y'all in August.
