Keep 7 in football is like keep 14 or so in baseball, so I wouldn't consider the situations all that similar. And with no draft round penalties Id imagine the top players are almost never getting thrown back like they are in our league.
But I get your point. Seems fine if we start it next year. Like NDfan said, lots of picks already traded based on current snake format for this year's draft.
EDIT-
Also what about 2nd round keepers? Your example noting first round keepers is a bit disingenuous bc if first place keeps a 2nd rounder then their first pick isnt until #36 overall and everyone would have 2 or more picks before that 1st place team.
That's another really big difference between leagues with draft round penalties and those without.
Something to keep in mind is that part of the "reward" for getting an early 1st pick is that most teams dont have to keep a first rounder - they can usually just throw him back and redraft the same player or a better one, with the exception being maybe the Trouts and Altuves.
That basically gives those teams an extra keeper, which is huge.
Not sure there needs to be more reward than that.
