Looking Back What Was Your Biggest Draft Mistake? (1 Viewer)

only regrets so far....

despite scoring the 3rd most points in my league overall, I'm sitting at 0-2, just lost Reggie Bush, used my #2 waiver claim on brandon jackson, and waiting to take my only TE until the 9th round (Tony Gonzalez) isn't panning out.

In my main league (PPR), I made two mistakes1) Round 7 - Taking Stewart instead of Bradshaw2) Round 9 - Taking Alex Smith over Orton as my #2QB. (this is a superflex league....I can start 2 QBs....QBs go fast in this league). Thought that Orton would be available in round 10.....he went a couple of picks before I can get him.Those mistakes are minor, since it seems like I nailed my first 5 picks1) Rodgers2) Austin3) R White4) Best5) D Clark
Care to run down the rest of your draft?
Sure.6) Reggie Bush7) Stewart8) Harvin9) A Smith10) Sproles11) Hightower12) Campbell13) Mason14) Jacoby Jones15) Carlson16) Akers17) SD D18) Buckhalter19) RoyalBush was looking to be decent until he got gurt. So far Hightower has been solid, and Royal has been great as a end of draft flyer. Otherwise it seems I missed on Stewart, Harvin, A Smith and Campbell.
 
Most of my early round picks turned out terrible so far:

1. Matthews

2. D'Will

3. Steve Smith (NYG)

4. Kevin Kolb (QBs went really fast, some teams already had backups locked up)

5. MSW

6. Harvin

My offense is in the hands of Mr. Inconsistency himself, Mike Sims-Walker. Once the 7th round rolled around I went defense and the IDPs have been really good so far, definitely the strength of my team at the moment.

 
Took Kolb as my QB1 and Big Ben to back him up - should have taken my QB1 earlier and got a good one.

Took Brandon Marshall as my WR1 and didn't look to his new environment - should have taken Reggie Wayne.

 
My RB situation is a mess. Mendenhall/Charles/Harrison/JStew....I went into the season thinking I had a for sure RB1 and a definite RB2 in Charles with RB1 upside. Now I have a bunch of RB2s

Luckily I have very good WRs- Andre Johnson, Hakeem Nicks, Tampa Mike, Maclin

I just don't know how I'm going to do this season

 
Two things:

1) Leon Washington - Thought he would be better already

2) All set to take Best in a keeper league and the guy in front of me took him. In my annoyance, I grabbed Spiller. I knew it was a mistake as soon as I did it.

 
Right now it was pretty clearly drafting MJD. Other than that I've simply started all the wrong players at WR thus far. I took MJD and then went hog wild on WRs grabbing R. White, Colston, Nicks, S. Smith (Car) and Manningham. Had I started the right set of WRs I'd have overcome the poor play by MJD and be 2-0. I wasn't able to do that however and now I sit 0-2. :bag:

 
When it came down to Jamaal Charles, Javhid Best or Pierre Thomas in 3 leagues I picked Jamaal everytime.

Doh!
