Welcome back to the blog everyone. July for me is when I start to think about football for real. Keepers are due on July 15, exactly 2 weeks from today. To lead off, here are my initial predictions for the keepers. I'm assuming no trades before the July 15 deadline but we all know that's not going to happen.
Andrew:
QB Tom Brady (NE)
RB Clinton Portis (WAS)
RB Wes Parker (PIT)
WR Brandon Marshall (DEN)
Bill:
QB Drew Brees (NO)
RB Marice Jones-Drew (JAC)
RB Michael Turner (ATL)
RB Brian Westbrook (PHL)
Donny:
RB Brandon Jacobs (NYG)
RB Ryan Grant (GB)
WR Larry Fitzgerald (AZ)
WR Steve Smith (CAR)
Hai:
RB Marion Barber III (DAL)
RB Steven Jackson (STL)
WR Calvin Johnson (DET)
WR Marques Colston (NO)
Katy:
QB Donovan McNabb (PHL)
RB Thomas Jones (NYJ)
RB Felix Jones (DAL)
WR Desean Jackson (PHL)
Kevin:
RB DeAngelo Williams (CAR)
RB LaDainian Tomlinson (SD)
RB Chris Johnson (TEN)
WR Andre Johnson (HOU)
Lily:
QB Phil Rivers (SD)
RB Darren McFadden (LA)
RB Lendale White (TEN)
WR Anquan Boldin (AZ)
PJ:
QB Tony Romo (DAL)
RB Adrian Peterson (MIN)
RB Ronnie Brown (MIA)
WR Roy Williams (DAL)
Tuna:
RB Matt Forte (CHI)
RB Marshawn Lynch (BUF)
RB Kevin Smith (DET)
WR Randy Moss (NE)
Victor:
QB Peyton Manning (IND)
RB Frank Gore (SF)
RB Steve Slaton (HOU)
RB Pierre Thomas (NO)
Projected Draft Order and small tidbits about 1st round picks of everyone since 2003:
1. Tuna (No 1st round busts with past 4 picks, best in league during that time)
2. Lily (First time ever making picks in FADUCO)
3. Andrew (Only picked RBs for 1st round half the time in past 6 years)
4. Donny (Picked 3 WRs in past 3 years if you count Reggie Bush as a WR)
5. PJ (Has selected Ricky Williams twice in 1st round)
6. Katy (Starting in 2005, has picked a bust in 1st round each year)
7. Kevin (Most QBs selected in first round since 2003 - 2)
8. Bill (Most 1st round pick trading - upgraded 4 of his past 6 1st round picks)
9. Victor (Has never picked better than the #6 spot in keeper drafts)
10. Hai (Never drafted a QB with 1st round pick, but has drafted TEs twice)

Comments
You have my keepers right, barring any injuries between now and the 15th. And just so its clear I will not be the one trading with Cosgrove before the draft this year.
Also its troubling to see your sister quit before the draft, you need to get the family in order, exercise privileges as big brother and senior duong (uncle to donny and hai). kevin
