Bonehead Draft Pick Award At Your Draft?

[Kent 228]

Last pick in the 3rd round the guy in the 12 spot takes Ray Rice.

 

Everyone let him have it. Good times.

 

He's starts arguing that he is the guy and the player he wanted...

 

I said you could have had him in the 8th round. Or a reach pick in the 6th if he panicked.

 

And he says, "You're right...I'm a mess.". HAHAHAHAHA!

 

He had the balls to go WR/WR in the 12 spot. But his RBs are painful.

[hosierjoe 3]

Whats wrong with Ray Rice? He is a starter and will be getting most of the touches in the backfield. I dont think that is a bonehead move at all. Now in our draft the steelers D left in the 4th round.

[16 and 33 0]

Dude, everyone is in love with Ray Ray this summer, but not as a stud RB (it was his RB1 pick) in the 3rd. Not with better value out there.

 

I'm convinced that anyone who went WR-WR this year is regretting it as soon as their draft is over.

[Kopy 570]

If the guy wants him (assuming it's a PPR league) why is that a horrible pick?

If he's got 3.12, he should also have 4.01? If that is the case. There's a really good bet Rice would not have been there on his end of 5/6 swing. That means he has to draft him in those 2 spots to make sure he gets him.

In a 12 team league, Rice should not last to the 8th round, and your 6th round projection, (His pick being the end of it) is really pushing it.

 

If this isn't a PPR league. Then yes, it is pretty early, but even then not bad.

 

?

Guess I'm missing something?

There is nothing wrong with Ray Rice. But he could have safely taken him 3 or 4 rounds later. 2 rounds later if he really is in love. Point is, no matter what he was going to get him because he was going to reach a couple rounds early. But not THIRD ROUND. Hahahaha. He passed on so much talent and he still was going to get Rice.

Okay, Rice would have been there in the 5th/6th. No doubt. People are still filling out the meat of their roster. Nobody is taking Rice as the guy. I love Rice but he is still in a huge RBBC.

[We Tigers 71]

Right now it looks like the worst early pick was Brandon Marshall in the early 3rd. Most of the news about him being a disaster was already out there (though the practice video wasn't), and Colston, Bowe, and Housh were all still on the board.

 

We also had someone take the Steelers D with the first pick of the 6th round.

[KSB2424 3,148]

I drafted him in at 5.07 in my draft. There were no non RBBC RB's left and he has the highest upside. I know for a fact he was going before my 6th round pick got back to me.

 

3rd round is a reach, but maybe the guy didn't think he would make it all the way back. Didn't you say the same thing about P.Thomas?

[South Beach 0]

Last night, someone said Cadillac Williams in the 8th.

 

He has gone undrafted in 2 of my other leagues.... they could have taken him 6 or 7 rounds later with no problem.

[RoadLizard 73]

Nope...I win: I drafted RB Chris Henry thinking how smart I was grabbing Steve Slatons backup RB in our keeper league. What a focking tard. Chris Brown is Slatons backup. Chris Henry is 4th string on the Titans. What a waste!!!!

 

[Kent 228]

I drafted him in the 5.07 in my draft. There was no RB's left and he has the highest upside. I know for a fact he was going before the sixth round.

There was left so much talent on the board and he bailed for Rice. I like Rice as a solid #3 RB. Lets not all go crazy for Rice. I like him, but not as my #1. C'mon.

[Kopy 570]

What were his first 2 picks? And his 4.01?

And what was the next couple picks after his 4.01?

[belichick's hoody 0]

his ADP is 5.07- if he is unquestionably going to be there at 5.12 maybe the rest of the owners in your league deserve the bonehead award.

 

What other RB's were there? After going WR-WR, he almost has to go RB-RB at the next turn. So unless he passed up one of R Grant, P Thomas, R Brown, or K Smith with his other pick, it's a very reasonable decision. Rice has considerably more upside than LJ or Bush and I think there's a strong case for him over McFadden.

Did he reach? Sure, but Rice is shooting up draft boards the past week or so. He's a hot commodity. He is not gonna make it past round 6/7 in any competitive league and will prolly end up being drafted in PPR leagues in the 5th or 6th round range.

 

So this guy definitely reached for Rice, but not enough to warrant being laughed at IMO. I wouldn't have drafted him there, but it's not THAT bad.

He took R. Brown.

 

He passed on Kevin Smith, LJ, Bush, McFadden, T. Jones, Addai.

 

But there is a good chance he makes it back to him in the 5th. As his #3 RB. And if he misses him, so be it. But Rice is the type of guy that could make it back to you. With that in mind, you don't take him in the 3rd.

[Youthcoach 0]

Guy with the second pick took Addai at 2.11, and D, Ward at 3.02, Nate Washington at 4.11. His team really really sucks. this is his 3rd year in the league and he is only getting worse with his drafting. Even my 10 yr old son thought his draft was bad, lol.

^This. It was a little bit of a reach, but not that bad.

This isn't that bad either.

 

I felt bad in my draft because we added a couple new guys (which apparently had never even played FF before)...one guy took three TE's not knowing you could only start one.

Everyone else had pretty solid draft. It was the standout bonehead pick. I've been in this league for 12 or so years with the same people. Everyone knows what they are doing. And it was the concensus Bonehead draft pick.

 

He got Moss and Fitz at 12/13, which was a smart move IMO. And then I guess he panicked. I dunno.

 

Hard to be as high on Rice in that RBBC. As much as he looks good, his bust potential could be like Julious Jones. Few goaline touches and nothing but in between the 20s work could be his fate. The kind of back you dont reach for. If you lose him, so be it.

[larrybird 0]

We had a newbie draft Adrian Peterson from Chicago in the 3rd Rd. With the real AP being the #1 pick no one said anything until after his pick was made. His look was priceless.

[TimHauck 2,876]

He took R. Brown.

 

He passed on Kevin Smith, LJ, Bush, McFadden, T. Jones, Addai.

 

But there is a good chance he makes it back to him in the 5th. As his #3 RB. And if he misses him, so be it. But Rice is the type of guy that could make it back to you. With that in mind, you don't take him in the 3rd.

 

Passing on Smith there might be kinda dumb, but I could see Rice going over some of those other guys.

[Kent 228]

Smith fell to me in the 5th. Which I loved!

 

So Rice was gonna make it back to him if Smith dropped that far.

[Laurence Maroney's Nuts 2]

If Kevin Smith was sitting on the board in the 5th round, I'd say everyone in the league deserves a bonehead award.

12 teamer ADP for drafts this weekend: http://fantasyfootballcalculator.com/adp.php

 

Rice has shot up to 4.06 He looked great in the game against Carolina and looked like a starter. Especially in PPR's. A poor man's MJD if you ask me.

 

Just sayin. Maybe this guy gets the last laugh.

I would take him over LJ, Bush, Jones, Addai.

 

Then you have an unproven Lion and an unproven Raider. I personally would have taken one of them and hoped that Rice made it to 5.12. If that happens, then the guy has a slam dunk draft with Fitz/Moss and Smith/Brown/Rice.

 

I've seen worse picks though. Like Darren Sproles 4.08 in my league...now that is just stupid.

[Kent 228]

If Kevin Smith was sitting on the board in the 5th round, I'd say everyone in the league deserves a bonehead award.

 

Well, all the guys drafting behind me at that pick were pissed! I took him and they all couldn't believe he was still there. Neither could I.

 

I didn't want him since I also have Calvin Johnson, but I couldn't pass on him that late. He was definietly the player who fell the most. There is always one guy who you get at great value.

[TimHauck 2,876]

Smith in the 5th and everyone knew what they were doing?

 

Edit: Nevermind

I hope he gets the last laugh. He's a good friend.

 

But Ronnie Brown and Rice...I dont know. But I'm biased since I think Brown is awful.

 

Rice's ADP is absurd. Its still a RBBC and when McGahee walks out on that field for several series and McClain vultures that first TD, Rice owners are going to be thinking, "I got sucked in by pre-season!".

 

Its why he's a great #3. He's risky as a starter right now. You hope he explodes but don't take that early pick risk on him. My take.

[FeelingMN 273]

Maybe. But then again, Smith isn't getting the attention Rice is right now. Perception is reality and maybe this guy thought he had to pounce or lose Rice.

 

To your point, I wouldn't have taken Rice that early. But I wouldn't describe it as a boneheaded pick either.

[Q.T. 5]

Nope...I win: I drafted RB Chris Henry thinking how smart I was grabbing Steve Slatons backup RB in our keeper league. What a focking tard. Chris Brown is Slatons backup. Chris Henry is 4th string on the Titans. What a waste!!!!

 

 

I was in a surreal fleaflicker draft last night. Most of the league appears to be from the same family, and I think some of the players must be just in it to be a good family member. Here are a few picks in the top 50 that baffled me, even with the fact that there were 3 keepers:

 

Knowshon Moreno RB DEN (4th overall)

Chris Henry RB TEN (23rd overall)

Tiki Barber RB NYG (24th overall)

Ryan Grice-Mullen WR HOU (37th overall)

Benjamin Watson TE NE (44th overall)

Kent- Ray Rice at the end of the 3rd isnt crazy.

 

He's a second year player that could be a monster. I think McGahee is DONE!

 

After the top 10-12 backs the rest all have questions.

[eagles115 23]

Someone took Crabtree in the 5th round in my PPR draft last weds hahaha

I would have taken Rice over everyone of those backs with the exception of Kevin Smith. Not a horrbile pick by any stretch of the imagination. To make fun of the pick is foolish. No matter what the OP says, there is no guarentee Rice comes back to the 5/6 swing.

This all your opinion. If everyone had the same opinion of players how much fun would drafts be? You're just cheesed becasue you wanted Rice in round 6 and got beaten to the punch

[rotisserieking 56]

same guy as last year

 

He took Jonathan Stewart at 3.02 ahead of KSmith, RBrown, PThomas, RGrant Rice. Half of the other owners in unison were like "wait, Stewart???"

 

He took Rice at 4.09 but that's legit in my mind - Rice is going to start for the run oriented Ravens.

[edjr 6,592]

having your draft before the week 3 pre season games are over

 

that is at boneheaded as it gets

[Snoopy 0]

Commish took the Pittsburgh D/ST at 5.7. No other D/ST was taken till 4 rounds later.

[We Tigers 71]

This is why I thought Steelers in the sixth was a bit loopy in my draft. I think someone grabbed the Ravens in the ninth. Defense scoring isn't that great in our league, and the difference from 1 to 14 last year was something like 35 points over the course of the whole season. It's not crazy, but it is completely unnecessary to take a defense earlier than the last few rounds.

[t-birdie 8]

Drafts are bonehead. Auctions rule.
