Regrets ...

I know it is early in the season ... but I already have some regrets ... below are mine ... what are some of yours?

 

LOCAL

I swore I was going to do everything I could NOT to get off to a slow start. For whatever reason I tend to get off to a slow start in this league and come on strong at the end only to fall short of the playoffs.

  • Right now I'm regretting drafting Matthew Stafford instead of Cam Newton
  • I regret dropping Buffalo's defense after week 1 for Oakland (cost me a win)
  • I regret picking up Ogletree instead of Pita in week 1 waivers

 

 

FOFF

  • I regret drafting C2K with the first overall pick
  • I regret drafting Steven Jackson with my 2nd pick

 

HANNIBALS

I was regretful about my RBs shortly after the draft but those regrets turned out to be misplaced (for now at least).

 

CORE

  • I regret that I didn't buy a better quality RB, my RBs suck in this league
  • I especially regret that since broke one of my cardinal rules and drafted a RB on one of Skeletor's teams (Helu).
  • I regret that I spent top dollar *18% of my salary cap) on Wes Welker :doh:

CJ2K @ the #8 spot.. But who else was I supposed to take? The top 3 QBs were gone, the top 3 RBs were gone, and Megatron was gone. I had to flip a coin between CJ2 "yards per carry" and DMC. My gut told me to go with DMC, but his injury history scared me. And I felt that anyone that has to run against the Colts and Jags D twice a season is certainly worth a chance given his success prior to last season.

 

:bash:

I regret taking Stafford in the first round (11th)

I regret passing up MJD in the second (14th overall) and taking Sproles

I regret passing up Reggie Bush in the 5th round while I was trying to play catch up at WR after making Stafford my 1st pick.

I regret passing on Amendola in the 10th round thinking he'd still be there in the 11th

Regret drafting turner but didn't have much options. Took Brady 6th after the top three backs were off the board. 6pt for passing td. Went gronk second round for the tb to gronk connection. In hindsight maybe should have gone rb in that spot but I still feel those two alone will basically win me a handful of games. Third round was going to select Charles but he got picked right before. Glad he did because he looks awful so far. Andre Johnson was on the board and I couldn't pass him up there, even tho I went into this year saying I wouldn't take him....by the time I went in on rb the top talent was gone. Turner may end up killing my team. 2-0 so far and just traded for quizz. I'm hoping turner either returns to his old self or just fails so one of them can be the guy for sure.

Pretty much what happened to me at 8 and pretty much exactly what my mindset was at the time.

Regrets, I've had a few

But then again, too few to mention

I did what I had to do and drafted Fitz instead of Harvin

I planned to pickup Graham but Chris Johnson showed, and I fell astray

And more, much more than this, I did it my way

Nothing too major yet... Took Kevin Smith in the 8th a couple spots ahead of Spiller, but I thought FJax was going to bounce back huge. Then all of my sleeper backs were going way early, so I jumped early on R. Jennings in the 10th while MJD was still holding out, with the thought that RG3 would be there early 11th for me to back up Brady with keeper upside and he went in the 6 picks between my 10th and 11th. Would love to have him as trade bait or stash for our 1 keeper for next year.

Local - Forte in the 1st instead of MJD or Peterson :bash:. Fitz in the 2nd instead of a lot of productive players. Romo in the 3rd instead of Matt Ryan.

 

I knew it was a deep year for WR's, and I had J Jones as a 7th round keeper. No reason to go so early with Fitz, or any other WR at that point. That was the start of a bad team.

I regret reaching for Donald Brown with the first pick of the fourth round. Doug , Reggie Bush and a tom of other quality guys were still on the board.

 

 

Why would you ever do that?
