I understand you point, but this leads to leagues dissolving sooner than they would otherwise in my experience.
Its basically just a less obvious version of just keeping your 5 best players with no cost penalty.
Eventually all the first round talent gets hoarded on 3-4 teams, and nobody else has a realistic shot at winning. IF we are allowed to keep more than 1 first rounder, at the very least I say an additional 1st round pick would have to be acquired and used to keep them.
But I prefer moviemans idea of no more than 1 first round keeper period.
It also forces owners to strategize more when making trades, and allows the bottom teams who are out of contention to make deals sending away players they couldnt keep for picks or whatever, and then having a chance to re-draft the player teh following year.
And I mean realistically, every year no more than half of the first level producers, will actually have 1st round keeper status. So owners who draft well and/or make shrewd trades will still be able to keep all or most of their talent.
