Buyer's Remorse

Lets see 'em ... if you had a do over, which draft picks and/or free agent moves would you already want to change?

 

For me I drafted Larry Fitzgerald in the 2nd round for the 2nd year running. Now that isn't too terrible but last year Fitz was a disappointment for where I drafted him and I immediately after I drafted Larry I immediately thought "I should have drafted Greg Jennings". At this point in the year Fitz is slightly ahead of Gennings and sadly both are just barely in the top 20. I think Gennings may be the more consistent performer - time will obviously tell.

 

After reading that Daniel Thomas wasn't impressive in preseason and wasn't even close to being healthy enough to play week 1 I cut him. I really want a do-over on that one :wacko:

I have the same regret. dropped Thomas after week one, and he was picked up. Wish I had that one back.

I was one of those that picked up D. Thomas when someone cut him after week one. :wacko: I figured he was worth stashing for several weeks, thinking the Fins drafted him too high to not use him.

 

I have only minor regrets so far draft/waiver-wise. I wish I had drafted Boldin instead of Santonio Holmes in round 6. They will probably finish close enough in points at the end of the year, but in my mind I trust Boldin more. I slightly regret not dropping Kolb and picking up Fitzpatrick, but was reluctant to drop Kolb because I also have Larry Fitzgerald. If Kolb goes nuts, that combination would be deadly.

You're better off with Holmes over Boldin, IMO.

 

I regret letting Forte go, could have had him, got outbid (auction draft). Gave up too soon to save some $ for the end of the draft, ending up spending almost as much for Mike Williams (TB) that I could have had Forte for.............just damn.

Drafting 7th I was going to take Rodgers or Brady, instead Charles dropped to me and then I grabbed Peyton in the 3rd (he was supposedly only missing 2 games). So with Charles, McFadden and Manning for my first three picks I was very happy. Now I would rather of had Brady, McFadden and Vincent Jackson, doh!

No regrets here. I took Charles with the 3rd pick this year in one of my locals. It sucks that he's out for the season. Looking back, I'm confident that I wouldn't have taken anyone different with that pick. Here's hoping DWill or D. Thomas can pick up the slack. :wacko:

Shonn.

 

Greene.

 

:wacko: Gitcher arse out there an' start runnin' with some authority, son!

Traded him & M. Lewis for M. Austin two days before the season started. Even though Austin's supposed to miss the next few week, I'm pretty happy with the deal.

I tried to not do any trading or perform any 'major' add/drops to my team until after week 2. I've been burned a lot in the past by trading early on and it just stings when you either drop or trade away someone who later either lives up to expectations or they blow up as a sleeper.

Same here, but I like to wait until after week 3. Justin Forsett has to get it going, right?

In a PPR league where QBs get 6pts for TDs...I struggled over JChaz vs. Brady....I went JChaz...damn...that's okay b/c I got SJax in rd 3...doh....well, then went w/ Dez as WR2 in Rd 4...f&^%...so then I took a flyer on Manning in RD 6...really?....

 

I'm thinking about changing my FF name to "Team Red Cross"....ww has been good to me...picked up Cam and Sproles...and somehow managed to start 2 - 0....but this horseshoe in my arse is getting really uncomfortable....

No real remorse here yet.

 

Keeper-ish league (i.e., salary caps and contracts) ...

 

I'm pretty deep at RB (Starks, MJD, Beanie, JStewart and Gore) ... we start two ... and pretty stacked at the top for WRs (MAustin, BMarshall, Fitz, Julio Jones and Plaxico) ... we start four ... so ... I traded MJD, MAustin and Plaxico for Andre Johnson ...

 

MJD and AJ had identical contracts

MAustin was about to roll off of his (and probably get prohibitively expensive for me next year)

 

So, now I'm playing RBBC for two spots between Starks, Beanie, Gore and JStew ... and my weekly WRs are AJohnson, BMarshall, Fitz and Julio ... feeling pretty good about this league ... barring injuries ... :fingerscrossed:
