Draft Picks You Got Right

[kinsey1986 0]

Okay, with the FF regular season over, and in the midst of the playoffs, let us gather round and brag about our best draft choices.

 

Steve Slaton in the 14th round: I saw him play in college, figured he'd be a decent Flex option by end of year...he is now an every week starter for me

 

Jay Cutler in the 8th: I waited on QB this year and it payed off for me.

 

Westbrook in the 1st, 3rd overall: Okay this may be a stretch...ADP was taken first overall, Tom Brady 2nd(!) so it wa between LDT and Westbrook...logic said LDT, but I went with Westbrook, and his last 2 weeks have propelled me to the playoffs and through the first round

 

What're yours?

Ronnie Brown

Vincent Jackson

Tony Sheffler

 

Those are the only 3 players on my roster that i drafted that i am starting this week.

[kinsey1986 0]

I didn't list this because I still don't have him....I drafted Thomas Jones in the 6th, getting ridiculed for passing over Darren McFadden. I kept him and played him until the Cincy game, then got offered MJD for him. I accepted. SO it was a great draft choice that I f'd up by trading lol

[Go long 0]

Lance Moore in the 16th round in a keeper league.

[edjr 5,618]

My draft was a complete abortion and I'm sitting in the semi-finals of a 14 team league.

 

it's all about the trading baby.

5- Jacobs

8 - DeAngelo

10 - Santana Moss

[BarNinja 1]

Westbrook fell to me in the 1st (7th pick).

Brees in the 2nd.

Boldin in the 5th.

CJ3 in the 13th.

[edjr 5,618]

Team I drafted.

 

I traded my 1st round pick for a 2nd and a 3rd. What a crapass team.

 

2. B. Edwards

2. B. Marshall

3. Willie Parker

3. Jay Cutler

4. C. Perry

5. Rivers

6. S. Young

7. Kitna

[Stewburtx8 67]

12 team PPR league, had 6th pick. We start QB, RB, WR, TE, RB/WR, RB/WR, WR/TE, 3 IDP's, K.......10-4..ended up 2nd overall and lost the regular season money by 4 total points in tiebreaker becuz of that Deangelo Williams late TD BS last night...im not happy....but...

 

1st- SJax (still think he could be huge in playoffs, but not great soo far)

2nd- R.Bush (been a good pick besides missing a couple games, still a top 8 RB with less games played)

3rd- Romo (also injured but has been a top 5 QB)

4th- Winslow (loved his ppr ability, but now im starting Keller and dropped Kellen)

5th- Marshall (great pick, draft was early so he was still sitting at a 3 game suspension at the time)

6th- De.Ryans (been a pretty solid tackler all year, but not up to this standard of pick, was 3rd IDP taken)

7th- D.Bowe (been a very solid pick this late in a ppr league)

8th- M.Forte (best pick of the year, has been the top RB in league)

9th- Briggs (very solid IDP)

 

My draft kind of went downhill from here and my depth has been inconsistent. Have had some good weeks from Camarillo, S.Morris, K.Smith, F.Jones, etc, but not very consistent. All my losses came midseason with byes and injuries. But now that my starting lineup is back in full force..i like my chances....

[The Next Generation 10]

Out of 4 leagues:

 

CJ3 - 3 leagues (4th w/3 holdovers, 5th, 4th)

R Bush - 2 leagues (1st, Dynasty)

Turner - 1 league (6th)

Jacobs - 1 league (3rd)

B Marshall - 1 league (3rd)

C Johnson - 1 league (4th)

 

Made the playoffs in all 4 leagues and highest pts in 2 of the 4.

[ChazzyCelotts 1]

No question the best pick i made or probably was made in all of fantasy fb land was my selection of Dangelo Williams in the...

 

 

12th round.

 

10 team league, but nobody in the league thought he would be any good and with Stewart coming i guess that was y he wasnt picked.

 

but regardless i dropped him after 3 weeks for some unknown reason and i am out of the playoffs because of it

[Grizzly 0]

My good draft

Portis -first

Jennings 5th

cutler 7th

Mason 10th

 

near misses

Grant 2nd

Plaxico 4th

 

wiff

J lewis 3rd

 

My bad draft

Lynch 1st

Mcgahee 2nd

Ocho Cinqo 3rd

It doesn't get much better after that.

 

The draft was early and was able to pick up CJ, L White E Royal, L Moore and A Rogers off the wire.

[jdon 28]

I had portis, t. Jones, and CJ3 in pretty much every league I was in...

I drafted Boldin in half of them as well...

 

 

unfortunately I took dallas clark and ocho asso all the time too.

 

This year I didn't vary too much and drafted almost from the same rankings in every league.

I am alive in 1 of four leagues. Another one I was top points and not in the playoffs anymore (is it fair to hate boldin for the last two weeks?)

WIN

(1) Brian Westbrook

(3) Drew Brees

(6) Lendale White

(11) Santana Moss

(12) Aaron Rodgers

(15) Kurt Warner

 

PUSH

(2) Terrell Owens - That Bollinger/Johnson stretch hurt bigtime... should've taken Fitzgerald here

(8) Earnest Graham - Was on the way to a win before IR

 

LOSS

(4) Jamal Lewis

(5) Santonio Holmes

(7) Kellen Winslow

(9) Nate Burleson

[bzengler 0]

4.05 Matt Forte

6.05 Calvin Johnson (who I traded for MJD and Holmes because I was afraid of the dropoff after Kitna went out; kind of a wash)

9.08 Chris Johnson

13.08 Aaron Rodgers (Drafted Brady in Round 1, so this REALLY paid off!)

 

After many trades, I have ended up with a team in Round 2 of the playoffs:

 

QB - Rodgers

RB1 - Forte

RB2 - CJ3

Flex - MJD

WR1 - Jennings (traded Benson, Cassel, and Cotchery for him and some other scrubs)

WR2 - Berrian (traded Cotchery, whom I got back later for Ray Rice, and Grant for Berrian and Benson. wanted to upgrade WR)

WR3 - Ted Ginn Jr.

TE - Olsen

Def - Cards/Redskins/whoever I can find on wavers that is playing STL

K - Rackers

[mdm_1971 0]

2nd --- fitzgerald

3rd ---- s. smith

8th----- evans

10------ rodgers

finished in 5th place 4th in points.......advaced to the 2nd round of playoffs

other league

1st----- sjax ( so so )

3rd------ boldin

4th------- witten

5th-------- forte

6th--------- deangelo

7th--------- cutler

finished in 1st and top scoring

[Brad GLuckman 518]

Rivers (9th)

Rodgers (10th)

 

This allowed me to have great depth at every other position. It's the first year I ever waited on QB's but it paid off big time playing matchups with these guys.

[De Novo 0]

Probably the best draft I've ever had... 9 of my picks were Home Runs, and I'd have the best team even if I didn't make a single transaction all year. The #1 QB, 4 of the top 10 Running Backs, 2 of the top 10 WRs, #2 TE, #2 Defense. Sick.

 

(2) Brees - A

 

(1) Barber - A-

(3) Jacobs - A-

(8) DeAngelo Williams - A+

(13) Steve Slaton - A+

 

(5) Marshall - A-

(6) Megatron - A+

 

(4) Witten - A-

 

(16) Titans - A+

Win:

Westy: first round

AJ: third round

Boldin: fourth round

Graham: seventh round Carried my team

Warner: nineth round

 

Pseudo-busts:

Grant: Second (don't argue either. The guy wasn't worth a 4th round pick let alone a 2nd)

 

Total Busts:

Winslow: fifth round

Derek A: sixth round

 

 

Stuck to the gameplan and didn't follow the herd. If I couldn't get an elite player at that position I moved on.

[Thornton Melon 546]

Aaron Rodgers at 12.01 in a 10 team re-draft. That's about it

[slckrsmitty 0]

FITZ in the 2nd

TJ in the 4th

CJ3 in the 10th

and to top them all

 

Warner in the 14th!!!!!!!

L.T. number 1 overall....WRONG

[smelly_spider 0]

ROUND PLAYER

 

2 Forte

9 Slaton

I can if I choose keep these guys for upto 5 season(4 more after this one)

[jaymay75 0]

List the draft picks I got right..... (crickets chirping)

[shutdown 40]

14 Team - single Keeper.

 

Pick Player Pts

1.K Joseph Addai (RB IND) 79.5 - Keeper, wish I wouldn't have, but I didn't have much choice here

2.11 Brandon Marshall (WR DEN) 99.5 - Could have done worse.

3.04 Steve Smith (WR CAR) 110.1 - Good value here, he's the #5 WR based on points per game in my league.

4.11 Thomas Jones (RB NYJ) 181.8 - Probably my second best pick.

5.04 Jeremy Shockey (TE NO) 23.8 - Wasted Pick - Cut

6.11 Jay Cutler (QB DEN) 167.5 - Wanted Eli, he was taken just prior. Who says luck doesn't play a part.

7.04 DeAngelo Williams (RB CAR)183.1 - Traded for Ravens DST.

8.11 Isaac Bruce (WR SF) 81.5 - Not bad for round 8 - Traded in package for K. Winslow.

9.04 Kevin Walter (WR HOU) 101.1 - Solid spot starter good value for this pick

10.11 Chris Perry (RB CIN) 26 - Seemed like a good pick at the time, turned into a bust.

11.04 Raiders (DST OAK) 92.5 - Reached for them, thought their easy schedule would make them a top DST

12.11 J.T. O'Sullivan (QB SF) 54.9 - Wasted pick, got benched when I needed him to fill in for Cutler

13.04 Josh Morgan (WR SF) 24.7 - Sleeper, didn't really pan out.

14.11 Panthers (DST CAR) 98.5 - Average DST Traded in package for Colston.

15.04 Antonio Bryant (WR TB) 102.9 - Sleeper, worked out later in the year (After I dropped him)

16.11 Dolphins (DST MIA) 111.5 - Solid DST - Traded in package for Baltimore DST

17.04 Robert Meachem (WR NO) 26.6 - Used him 1 week where he had a good game. Useless otherwise. Was cut early.

 

Players in Bold are still on my roster

 

Probably my best overall draft ever. The trade of DeAngelo - maybe not the smartest move, though in my league Defenses do matter and Baltimore has matched D. Will in terms of points scored. However I would probably be better off with D. Wil and Miami in my lineup instead of Baltimore / Addai, but trading him hasn't killed me.

[ebterp 0]

All of them!!!!! ha ha - naw seriously here is my draft for first 10 rounds - hard to imagine doing much better that this.

 

1(6) - MBIII

2(15) - Portis

4(35) - Steve Smith

5(46)- Marshall

6(55) - Kevin Smith

4. Calvin

5. D Williams

6. Cooley

7. Warner

8. Taylor

9. Johnson

10. Jennings - keeper

 

14 Teamer, non PPR. My top ten picks = #2 QB in our scoring system, 4 of the top 7 RBs, 3 top five WRs, #6 TE, and a crucial handcuff.

[norseman 0]

DeAngelo Williams -- 9.11

Steve Slaton -- 12.02

Isaac Bruce -- 11.11

 

 

Balance that out, however, with:

 

Ocho Stinko -- 3.11

Torry Holt -- 4.02

Vince Young -- 10.2

 

 

All in all, though, I'll take it.

[RLLD 3,495]

Pick 1.06 ~ Clinton Portis

Pick 2.06 ~ Andre Johnson

Pick 3.06 ~ Jonathan Stewart ......actually kind of meh for a third rounder....

Pick 4.03 ~ Greg Jennings

Pick 6.06 ~ Dwayne Bowe

Pick 8.06 ~ Owen Daniels

[Shock6822 0]

16 teams...

 

1.09 - Marshawn Lynch

2.08 - Reggie Bush

3.09 - Anquan Boldin

4.08 - Cotchery

5.09 - Chris Johnson

6.08 - Cutler

7.09 - Owen Daniels

8.08 - Berrian

9.09 - Pierre Thomas

10.08 - Tennessee D

11.09 - Josh Morgan

12.08 - Jason Campbell

13.09 - Jabar Gaffney

14.08 - Fred Jackson

15.09 - Kris Brown

 

 

The bolded picks have helped my team immensely. Other thing that helped is no real busts per se...unless Cotchery is considered one.
