Worst pick in your draft?

We had our money league draft Saturday and the worst pick was....

 

Vernand Morency at 3.12

 

The second worst pick was

 

Javon Walker at 3.7

 

Can you believe these two picks. And this league is always really competitive with smart owners. At least I used to think they were smart.

I don't really see anything wrong with the Walker pick myself. I someone sees him as a Top 5 WR, I'm not going to argue.

 

2004: Consensus Top 7-8 WR (with a healthy group of people having him in the Top 5)

2005: Tore ACL game 1 or 2 I believe.

2006: 1000+ yard season off torn ACL, with a rookie QB for the final 1/3 of a season.

2007: Cutler only figures to get better and have very nice passing yardage this year.He did throw for 2 TD's in 4 of his 5 starts last year. I think Cutler likes Brandon Marshall quite a bit (worked together on the 2nd string last year), but everyone has their own opinion.

 

Though I'm not going to predict it, I can see Walker having an 80 catch, 1200+, 8-10 TD season, which would put him near the top of the league.

Not in my league, but a guy at work just asked me to review a team that he just drafted... it was brutal. He had the 3rd overall pick, and you guessed it... he took Peyton Manning. :D

 

He missed out on all top tier RBs and all top tier WRs because he was playing catch up the entire draft after that first bonehead pick.

Broncos took Gore at #2 in the Huddle Ladder League, leaving SJax and LJ for following owners. Specifically SJax. :D

Anyone of those idiots that let LJ slip to 5 and lower.

 

Oh and my pick of phreakin DeAngelo Williams at 3.07 as my #2 RB is causing me some upset. Of course it IS a 16 team league, but MAN did I drink the August 14th Kool-Aid.

One week ago, I picked 3rd in a 10 team league and figured I would have to choose between LJ or Addai.

 

The guy at #1 picked LT ...

The guy at #2 picked ..................... Ronnie Brown :D.

 

I was happy to get SJax :wacko:

Last year I had the 3rd overall pick - went something like this:

 

pick 1: Shaun Alexander

pick 2: Edgerin James ( :wacko: )

Me: LT!! :D

I don't either. I see 1300 yards and 9 TD;s. Top 10.

There were a couple of head-scratchers in a 12-team redraft league (non PPR, typical scoring, start 1 QB, 1 RB, 1 WR, 1 TE, 3 RB/WR flexes, 1 K, 1 DEF ....

 

1.3 Larry Fitzgerald ... Wait -- Ahead of LJ, Gore, Addai, & Peyton ???

3.10 Jeff Garcia ... Egad - didn't see THAT coming (Bulger, McNabb still on the board)

 

But, in truth, the pick that haunts me is 2.5 Brian Westbrook ... as I took Rudi Johnson 1.9 and Willie Parker 2.4 ahead of Westy -- have suffered with Westy's injuries before, but still, passing on him twice from the 9th spot? Oh well -- here's hoping for Rudi & Fast Willie!!

 

:D

Oh we had a few in my local. We can keep a rookie but I still thought these were bad: Peterson at 2.3, Lynch at 2.7.

 

Then we had Julius Peppers at 4.1, first IDP off the board, passing on Mike Peterson, London Fletcher, and several other top LBs. That one was probably the worst. Or maybe Branch at 3.3. :D

I watched the ESPN Fantasy Draft. It was Mortenson, Jerry O'Connell, Steve Young, Mark Schlereth, Sean Salsbery, Nick Bakay, Cato June & Michael Smith.

 

Carson Palmer went #8.

Alexander fell to #13.

 

I quit watching.

That ESPN league is always pathetic. Steve Young would always take Vick in the first round. I think 2 years ago, Suzy Kolber took Kurt Warner in the 2nd and the Pitt D in the 3rd. :D
