I noticed that as well. The Bush owner in one of my leagues laughed at my J. Bell pick after he had taken Leshoure the previous round and the Gore owner took L. James with Hunter still on the board. I can somewhat understand the Dwyer love before recent events but I thought Bell and Hunter were clearly the guys to have.
Defenses and kickers score points too. I took Seattle in the 6th and Matt Bryant in the 8th last night and I don't feel bad about it.

This x10. Every draft! I don't get it. It's like they don't even spend 5 seconds to google a guy's name to find out his handcuff. And this happened to a lot of guys I know who follow FF regularly.
My bench spots on every team are loaded with guys like Joique Bell / Kendell Hunter / Michael Bush / Christine Michael / Bernard Pierce.

I thought my story would be the runaway winner until I saw yours. But mine is in the ballpark.
In a 1QB league with no special scoring upgrade for QBs, 4 QBs went in the first round: Rodgers at 1.1, Brees at 1.5, Colin Kaepernick at 1.9 and Manning at 1.12. So if you want to know how I landed CJ Spiller at 2.5.... now you know.

well what are you so called sharks playing in the kiddie pool with morons that don't know football... Isn't that agitating when someone drafts Beenie wells as a rb2. I mean that isn't even fun

Last year we had a person draft a kicker in the 6th round.
That person won our league last year

$31 for Jay Cutler in a $200 cap auction league. He's from Chicago, and was out in Vegas drinking with some others in the league.

FGB League draft on Sunday. Two different teams took 2 QBs by the end of the 8th round, and one said team took 2 defenses by the eleventh round. Real header scratchers.

2 QB best ball league where you must start 1 TE but can start 4.
Guy drafts 4 TEs and only 2QBs
ETA: two guys did this

Apparently you are supposed to wait to draft a 2nd QB until everyone has their 1st. The nerve of some people.
I'm in a 12-team league and Seneca Wallace was taken in round 6. I don't know if the guy accidentally clicked the wrong button or what as we were live drafting from our homes, but it drew a few laughs for sure. He eventually ended up with Sam Bradford in round 20 while others were selecting their IDP's.

All in a keep 1 league (2 rounds higher cost then drafted previous year) that drafted last night.
Team A - Andrew Luck owner (kept as a 7th round pick) selects Russell Wilson in round 8 while only RB's on his roster were Rice and Ivory, only other 2RB's he got were Powell and Turbin. He passed on Hillman, Woodhead, Tate, and Pierce that went shortly after his Wilson pick, this is PPR.
Team B - A 9th round pick on Carson Palmer with the same bye week as his starter Peyton Manning while Daulton, Flacco and Schaub were still all available. Likely only a 1 week player but a waste of a 9th round pick since he can't even use him.
Team C - Having Darren Sproles and Darren McFadden as your starters (ok not bad in PPR) but then waiting until round 10 to start backing them up with Fred Jackson, Moreno and Pead while you drafted 2 TE's first.

Do you think someone would have jumped in and scooped him up before 9th round if he hadn't been kept? In my opinion Crabtree doesn't crack the top 100 receivers for 2013 let alone the top 100 players.

I was assuming (perhaps incorrectly) that meant he could keep him for a 9th in 2014 too.

Pettis was drafted about two weeks after his injury was announced.
A team kept 3 QB's for the second year in a row, all viable QB1's in a limited roster. We start only 1 QB and people simply don't trade in this league.
Technically not a draft mishap, but someone dropped Kenny Britt after buying him for WR4-WR5 price (auction, was a steal imo) to pick up Jon Baldwin... and paid the same amount for Baldwin saying "just wait." That's not gonna end well.

In a draft this past Thursday. 10 team ppr guy drafted 8th overall drafted Alfred Morris in 1st then took Brees in the second ( no taking Alfred Morris in the first in a ppr was not the dumbest) Then took Colin K.in the 3rd. Said it was trade bait.

I guess I need an explanation why drafting Rogers and Brady is considered idiotic. Are trades outlawed in your leagues?

Very hard to get fair value for these guys in a trade - seldom does it work out the way the hoarder wants.

Auction League with an $85 dollar buyin to be in the league. It's a start one QB league but with 6 point TDs (good thing he drafted so many running QBs)
Auction Budget was $400 because there is IDP. One guy spent his money like this:
Robert Griffin III (Was - QB) $50
Cam Newton (Car - QB) $50
Michael Vick (Phi - QB) $37
Eli Manning (NYG - QB) $11
Jay Cutler (Chi - QB) $8
Yup $156 on QBs. 39% of his auction budget. I picked up Romo for $23. Cheapest starting QB left in the league.
He said he wanted to "hoard" the position.

Looks like he accomplished his mission
Let us know if he ends up trading any of them and if so what the original auction values are of the guys he gets. Can't imagine it will make up for this craziness -QG

In my recent rookie draft, TE Julius Thomas was drafted with the 2nd overall pick ahead of all of the rookies (except for Tavon Austin who went first overall).

Very similar to my first 4 picks in a start 3 RB league. RBs are gold. Same as day 1.

I can't say I've seen anything absolutely horrible, but there were definitely some big reach/risk selections and just plain old bad luck picks. It's a local, 15-round, 14 team, non-PPR, redraft, money league ($150).
One guy took the 49ers D in the 6th then went Andre Brown in the 7th (he also has Ryan Mathews).
One went Seattle D in the 7th.
A Pats homer took Ridley in the 1st and Amendola in the 3rd.
Someone took Reggie Bush in the 2nd round as their RB1 (He also drafted Stafford, Calvin, Pettigrew and the Lions D). Wouldn't be surprised if he actually ended up being competitive, but not against me.... I'm playing him week 9 when Detroit is on their Bye.
