Stephen, I now understand why that other guy kept nobody. Because your league is set up poorly.

In a keeper league, the kept players either go at the end of the draft or are tied to where they were drafted. Doing it with taking over your first available pick leads to some of your earlier problems. It also might explain why people are more reluctant to trade. If they trade away a first or second round pick for a keeper they won't pick until at least round 3. And if they have 2 keepers, round 4.
In your league, of course people are going to avoid keeping players. Which it seems a lot in your leage are doing. Doing so gets you an earlier draft pick and probably puts you in front of teams that are worse, hindering their chances of ever making substantial improvements.
And your league rules do have you using 1.5 to keep Rice. If possible, I would look at previous drafts to see if the issue as ever come up before, and if so how it was handled.
