gilthorp Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Two games in and I think it's easy to find your flaws in the drafts. Biggest mistakes made: (various leagues) 1. Drafting DeAngelo Williams over Chris Johnson. 2. Drafting Tom Brady in the 2nd round instead of a 1WR or a 2RB. 3. Drafting Calvin Johnson over Reggie Wayne....still early, but I think this will be tough all year on me. 4. Not keeping Thomas Jones for a 3rd round pick. I'm sure there's more, but these reek the most so far. What do you have? Awesome drafters with no mistakes need not respond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drafting R Brown and R Rice too early..... and stepping in chit by later getting R Williams and MaGahee later on in a flex league. They were drafted as handcuffs. Now I use the flex to start both RB's from Miami OR the Ravens along with my #1 RB, Gore in that league. I made mistakes.... but this start two thing is werkin ok so far. Wish I could say I planned it.... but I'll ride it out by starting either the Ravens duo, or the Miami boys each week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylive5 Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Two games in and I think it's easy to find your flaws in the drafts. Probably the biggest mistake I made was not hiring someone else to draft for me. I do okay other than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skrappy1 Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Matt Forte at 1.2 in a PPR league. In hindsight, I'd probably rather have MJD, Gore, Johnson, maybe a bunch of others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROYALWITCHEESE Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 The biggest mistake is judging your season after two weeks. I was the high score in week one, second to lowest in week two. How can you grade your season based on that? Revisit this in week 7... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montster Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 The biggest mistake is judging your season after two weeks. I was the high score in week one, second to lowest in week two. How can you grade your season based on that? Revisit this in week 7... agreed. in my main money league, i had the lowest score in week 1, and in week 2 i doubled it (but still lost ... grrr). in another league, i had second-lowest in week 1, and this week i set the record for highest single-week score. last week i cursed myself for taking chris johnson and ronnie brown, and this week i love them.

Shorttynaz Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 I reached for Whosyomama due to a big run on WR's along with the name and history - and me thinks I will end up regretting it rather than taking a top 5 TE. Once Cutler was traded to Chicago I was not a believer in Forte anymore. It's only 2 weeks - but it's gonna be a LONG season for those who took him as your #1. All in all though - I think it's still WAY too early to tell. I mean stud WR's like Wayne and Jennings getting theirs in week 1, and then both combining for 2 catches for 20 yards in week 2. Wayne however is gonna have a rough go at it until Garcon can really step into his own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outshined Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 LT over Chris Johnson. Ditto...it will be sad if he ends up with 800 / 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whomper Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Ditto...it will be sad if he ends up with 800 / 4. I handcuffed him with sproles so all may not be lost but if we have to make the nagging injury LT over sproles decision every week it is really going to suck.

bark Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 taking B. West in the 2nd I had doubts when i took him and now a just feel that he doesn't have it anymore it is early though and I do have shady McCoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rajncajn Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 1. Drafting LT over Gore 2. Taking the Giants D instead of a starting QB, of course looking back I would have taken Hasselbeck. 3. Taking Donnie Avery when Hasselbeck was still on the board. I bit on the hype & Hass went the pick after. 4. Taking Delhomme where I could have had the Giants D. Other than that I think I did well with what I was given. I was picking 4th & had Hitman ahead of me so very few steals slipped to me.

The Irish Doggy Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 My RB starters in OUTRAGED were supposed to be LT, McFadden, and Wells. 0-2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorcher Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Slaton as a keeper. Drafted Hass, Housh, and Carleson on the same FF team! 7 weeks from now that will still be a mistake! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeR Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 (edited) Not drafting Brees or Moss in the 1st when Brady went right before me. The "gotta have a top RB" thing just dies hard. Then a panic move (I was also pressed for time to make pick long story) in the 2d when Brees went right before me and taking Rodgers vs another RB (would have been CJ) or a top WR....oh and Manning was there. Really it was just a "bad" draft though, as far as players I target not falling to me about where you'd expect - typically at least 1 or 2 will but didn't happen at all on this one. Snake drafts suck donkey dongs. Edited September 22, 2009 by BeeR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westvirginia Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Yeah, I think week 2 is too early also. My main RB are MJD and DW, and neither have been stellar thus far, but my flex and other bit players have been carrying me. Oh, I do have one regret - paying $4 ($200 cap) for the frakkin Dallas D...

fantasyfemme Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 (edited) 2. Drafting Tom Brady in the 2nd round instead of a 1WR or a 2RB. Could be worse - a guy in my league drafted Brady as his first pick (at 1.02) and then took LT as his RB1 when the draft snaked back around. I took SJax with my first - not sure yet if he is worth the weekly boughts of nausea. Edited September 22, 2009 by fantasyfemme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judge Smales Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 So far its been taking Berrian as my WR2 and Portis, PThomas, and Lynch as my 1st 3 RB's. (I hate having the #12 pick in a 12 team draft) Luckily AJohnson carried Berrian this week for me and FJackson appears to have filled in nicely for PT. I'm still waiting to see what happens and Lynch / FJax / PT / Mike Bell are all healthy in the same week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelhead Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Keeping Steve Smith over Drew Brees. Brees and Gore would be a better combo going into the draft than Steve Smith and Gore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
