Vent about your early round draft choices and woulda/coulda/shoudas

[tanatastic 2,062]

Time to tell "Cool stories" of what shouldv/coudv happened. For me this marks prob the 3rd time iv scoffed at Aaron Rodgers in rnd 2 for a bust at a dif position. A few years ago it was Nicks when he was supposed to improve on his 900 9 season, this year its David Wilson. Also a shout out to the guy that took Jordy right in front of me wich wouldv given me an unbeatable team even despite Wilson.

 

What are your cool stories bro?

[LouisC9999 3]

I waited one round too long to pick a QB.

 

I picked Hopkins in the 9th instead of Vick and wound up with Roethlisberger and Flacco as my QBs (12-team league)

 

Oh, and I don't drink.

[Gladiators 1,987]

 

Oh, and I don't drink.

 

Sounds like you've at least diagnosed the problem.

 

I don't have any cool stories...I thought everyone here won all their leagues.

[saut 7]

Russel Wilson in the 6th isn't looking too good so far, but I feel great about my first 5 picks so if anything I regret not waiting LONGER on QB.

 

Not so sure how taking CJ2K over SJax will work out either, hard to say after two weeks.

[joeshushu 51]

Picked the two worst running backs on the two worst teams by the 2nd round. Two is my unlucky number. I have trouble throwing away deuces when I play poker too .

[Frozenbeernuts 2,258]

I drafted jimmy graham in almost every league and he is killing m... Oh wait, hes doing just fine.

You're gonna get burned.

[jerryskids 6,790]

Passed on Shady for Spiller.

 

Took Housler over Cameron as my TE flyer in an early draft.

[GreenTD 56]

I waited too long on quarterback & ended up with Russell Wilson in my IDP league. I'm not jumping off any cliffs since he's faced two tough defenses but if I had taken Rodgers in the 2nd round I'd be 2-0. Hindsight is 20/20 folks.

Interesting that a big mantra here is wait on a QB-but the biggest regret most have is not taking that QB.

 

My regret is taking Eddie Lacy over Larry Fitzgerald

[phillygrrl08 139]

I ended up with Vick in two of my leagues and got him in the 8th and 9th rounds (much to the derisive laughs of my opponents at the time), so I did well there and am gonna ride that pony til he collapses.

 

Roddy White in round 2 is killing me, and Alfred Morris hasn't been overly impressive.

 

It is still early...lot of football left to play.

[seadog54 20]

I picked TRich over Lynch as my 1 player keeper.

[lickin_starfish 1,935]

Let me guess...Maurice Bones-Bruised and David Will-sit?

[jrec15 9]

MJD and ridley are by far my biggest regrets. Then probably cam... (Even though i got him way late cause i have a league full of cam haters) They just need to let him run the ball

[vash1012 19]

I don't regret Roddy White per-sea, but hes hurting me right now since my back up WRs were high upside guys who haven't taken off yet. Wilson is just a complete bust, but I only spent a 5th rounder on him so it shouldn't kill my team. The only problem is he's still got way too much upside to drop and I really need a roster spot open to pick up a WR while Roddy is injured.

Meh, Fitz didn't do me any favours yesterday.

[Saints1 4]

Finally went RB-RB. Netted richardson and spiller. Felt good about at the time. Coulda had Mccoy at one of those spots.

[browndelivers 8]

In one league, picking Shorts over Garcon in the 7th round and Lance Moore over Givens in the 10th. In another league, passing on Shady TWICE, from the 1.11/2.2 slots.

[Shakey210 10]

I'm wishing I took Shady over Spiller at 7th. Maybe could have waited on RG3 in the fifth since I got Vick in the 10th.

[bigmark3333 11]

Didn't go the extra couple dollars (which I had the money for) that it would have taken to get Garcon and DeSean Jackson when I really needed receivers. Ended up settling for Cecil Shorts and Mike Williams right afterwards instead.

[saut 7]

Yeah I am feeling some regret over taking Mike Williams in the 8th over Ben Tate and Stevie Johnson. Williams is fine but that's the kind of "safe" pick that never ends up helping your team. Not that I'd be starting either of those guys, but I'd much rather have Tate on my bench than Williams is what I'm sayin I guess.

Yeah Roddy is killing me too. Well I am 1-1 in that league so I guess he isn't killing me, but my WR corps is a thrown together scrap heap.

Spent 21 on Amendola... Relatively early. Hated it immediately after it happened. Ended up being the most I spent on any receiver (recently traded for Mega)

 

Last season, same thing happened when I spent 33 on Nicks. He will not be on my team the remainder of his career.

 

When I get drunk and reflect on bad girlfriends, decisions in the past... I now always think of Hakeem Nicks. Very disturbing.

Yeah I do too looking back. I still like Spiller, but I just don't know what the outlook for him is going forward. He should still easily end up being a top 10 RB, but the 10th best RB in non ppr doesn't usually look all that good when comparing him to the top 5. It's usually a HUGE difference in points.

[bandrus1 413]

wilson in the 2nd.............

[dalie 2]

Ray Rice over McCoy at the turn, still early but as of now...

 

and David Wilson in the 3rd....nuf said.

 

[medium bill 2]

I picked TRich over Lynch as my 1 player keeper.

i did the same.

[CallMeBigCat 1]

MJD 2nd round, Cam 4th. Still think Cam can turn it around, but MJD.... I took him over Bush and Sjax.

[JtmoneyJag 25]

No regrets yet. We have only had two weeks of play. So much changes over the course of a season. I see people freaking out about T-Rich and Spiller and people going crazy for QB's. lets settle down. Things will start to even out throughout the year. And I say that with two 0-2 teams and one 1-1 team. Hasn't been a great start, but RB's have gotten off to an overall slow start. If you waited for QB then these two weeks have probably not been kind to you. But one week and someone blows up (Ridley, T-Rich, Spiller) then everyone jumps back on the bandwagon. You guys are too damn emotional on this board.

[ricanrockers 39]

 

Not so sure how taking CJ2K over SJax will work out either, hard to say after two weeks.

I would say its looking pretty good right about now. Jackson may miss a game or two. I went with CJ2k over S.Jackson myself.

[dreen626 17]

Trent over McCoy in a standard league.

[Herbivore 1,134]

Drafted Brees - 0 and 2. Had I drafted Rodgers, who was the next pick, would have been 2-0.
