Pick *ONE* guy at any position that you don't see yourself having on your REDRAFT squad next season. Your can list whatever reason you want for not getting him (will go too soon, is too old, injury risk, will lose touches, poor coaching, etc.).(However, saying you won't have LT because you draft in the 10 slot really is not what I'm looking for here . . .)I'm still thinking who I would select.

I won't have LJ because I pick in the 10th slot.
 
The one guy that I will not draft is CPep - not because there is concern that he may not be back until midseason let alone 100% next year at all. Even if the doctors could guarantee me that he would be back for game 1 - I will gladly allow some other team to take the risk that his performance prior to his injury was an abberation and not linked to the loss of Randy Moss...

Fred Taylor. I drafted him one year after a monster year. And we all know what that meant at the time, monster year, down year, monster year, misses 9 games with a hang nail, monster year, etc. The dude burned me badly. I'll never have him on my squad again.

Randy Moss--mere frustration from this year. Too many other good wrs in the league to go with a wr round 1 anymore. I almost think the first 12 picks in the draft should be rbs at this point.
 
Steve Smith...his monster year likely means he'll go in the late 1st, early 2nd in most drafts and I simply wouldn't be willing to draft him that high.

 
I wouldnt touch Kevin Jones. First, he's injury prone. Second, he's injury prone. Third, he's overrated and for some reason people think he's Marshall Faulk. And the Lion's new coaching staff is going to suck...they won't have a clue how to use him. Give me Sam Gado, Frank Gore, and Cedric Benson and get out of my way.

 
Good thread.Mine would be Chris Cooley.Dude is young, and he had a monster year, so the hype will be there. However, he was in a very specialized position...a position that might not even be there.

 
Tony Gonzalez :X *yet, he could be a steal if he slips far enough...I highly doubt it though

Jake Plummer. I've read like 10 Denver articles about him lamenting the loss of Kubiak, his personal mentor. I see some backslide to old Jake, possibly a full-blown return to (bad) form. Plenty of other QBs in the fantasy sea.

 
Thomas Jones.Had to good of a year to not be the incumbent to start in Chicago, but his back-up has a big ### wallet full of money that demands he gets alot of reps.

 
Carson Palmer

Me too. I just think that with how well he played this year that he will get taken way too high for me. Even with the injury I see him going as one of the top 5 QBs in the draft. That is just too much risk for me.
 
Kevan Barlow...I just can't do it again...He literally would have to drop to Round 9 or 10 for me to consider him...unless he gets cut and goes to a different team. Then I would have to reach for him for the third year in a row :X

 
I would be shocked if Priest Holmes fell far enough that I drafted him. I would have a hard time drafting Corey Dillon, too. I will try to get a lot of the players that have been named so far, though. Especially Owens, who will needlessly slip in drafts, and who will be motivated to do well wherever he ends up.

 
Santana MossToo streaky for me. He had some great games last year, but he also had some mediocre games. I wouldn't mind nabbing him for cheap, but I am guessing he will underperform given his ADP.

 
Walker....bad injury, Favre probably gone and Rodgers in his first year, unknown running game at this time.Lamont Jordan....will be drafted way too high for my liking.

Corey Dillon. He was a pain last year and can't see anything good with all his mileage. The td's were solid, but he looked slow and old all year long. I can't see myself drafting him at all.

I agree.
 
Edge James. I don't think he can come close to repeating what he did in '05.

Do you feel the same about Shaun Alexander? Edge isn't much older. I'm not saying Edge is guaranteed to repeat his 2005 performance, but IF he remains in Indy, he will still be a healthy RB on one of the few teams that still use one back 95% of the time.
 
Michael VickThis dude just isn't a good FANTASY football player yet he always goes early. I don't get it but someone will reach again next year. You guys go right ahead I'll stick with the Jake Delhomme's of the world. :D

 
M. Vick. Will never roster this guy on my team. J. Smith (he is finally done) to many young studs in the making in Jacksonville and Smith is one year older.

I have been saying this for a couple of years. Let Vick play like a top 10 fantasy QB consistently - then I will take a chance on him.
 
Sadly,Jerome Bettis.Although it's been years since he was an everydown back, he's won a few close ones for me lately as an RB2 or flex.

Agreed
 
Willis McGahee....too streakyDomanick Davis...has to split carries with Bush/or will be traded to a new team with a new offense with a new coach...and Kubiak would be good for him.

 
Gonzo - I really have learned my lesson to not bother drafting a TE in a single-digit numbered round.

If Gonzo had been Gates I'd bet your opinion would have turned out different.Anyhow, as for the topic... I'm having a hard time coming up with anyone that I wouldn't take a gamble on for the right price. For now I'll go with Carson Palmer, but ONLY because the injury scares me. I think he still gets drafted in the top echelon of QBs where he belongs, and I won't be willing to pay that price for him.

That said though, he doesn't really apply to the thread title as I would most definitely roster him if he slips enough and will even hopefully be able to nab him in a well timed trade after a slow start and before he shakes off the rust from the injury.

 
Deshaun Foster - will get the hype by the time the season starts and will get hurt again. He'll go way too early for me to end up with him.

 
Curtis Martin. He probably has at least one good year left in him, but I would be leery of any RB his age coming back from a season ending injury. What clinches it is that I expect the Jets to be in complete disarray for most of season - so I wouldn't expect good numbers from whoever was running the ball.

 
Thomas Jones.

Had to good of a year to not be the incumbent to start in Chicago, but his back-up has a big ### wallet full of money that demands he gets alot of reps.

After the trade to Indy you may reconsider... :P
 
S. Moss - good numbers this year, but heavily dependent on getting that one long pass for a TD to get even mediocre numbers. Brunell's not getting any younger, and Ramsey and Campbell starting won't help his numbers. His overall numbers this year were good enough that he'll go way too high for my taste.T. Barber - I expect that people are finally going to rank him where he's belonged the last couple of years, and he'll go in the first round next year. After seeing C. Martin and C. Dillon have lousy years this year after many years of consistently good numbers, I'm not going after a 31 year old in the first round. :no:

 
Reggie Bush. (Assumption is a redraft league)Let someone else take a flyer on the hype. RBBC will spoil all the backs, whomever is left, in Houston. 4 Backs that would probably start in a SF setting - Bush, Dom Davis, Jon Wells, and even V. Morency. Fantasy nightmare - akin to most Viking games.Add to that the fact that most rookie RBs cannot take a 16 game schedule. No thanks.

 
Corey Dillon. He was a pain last year and can't see anything good with all his mileage. The td's were solid, but he looked slow and old all year long. I can't see myself drafting him at all.

Ditto. Also hated the way NE was so secretive with injury information. I lost at least one game due to a bad game time decisions gamble.
 
As a Colts homer, I am sad to say I will not roster Peyton Manning. I have had him for years, but my issue is that with him going in the 1st 2 rounds, he will usually lead me to the playoffs, but come playoff time, he has killed me the last 2 seasons with the resting in weeks 16&17.Only way this changes is if I see Jacksonville take a step forward. Then I think the Colts will be in more of a dog fight for the division. Otherwise, I'll take a pass.

 
Parcells' handling of Julius Jones/Marion Barber III combo made no sense (to me at least) that I will definately avoid Julius next season.

 
I am confused, is this thread about someone I would never draft, or players that you think are going to be overated next year.Maybe someone should start a thread, I wouldn't take this player as my number 1 rb, my number 1 wr, number 1 qb.Mine would be never take Martin,Dillon, any of the Jones (Kevin,Julius,Thomas) McAllister as my number 1I would never take any NE Reciever as my number 1, or any SF,Houston,Minn,or Alt reciever.I would never take Culpepper,SF QB,Houston QB, Vick as my number 1.Palmer would land here but I am very interested in seeing his rehab.

 
Good point Malaka,I was thinking of a person who's hype and fantasy ranking would put him at a level that he would be taken well before I would be willing to draft him. If I based it on the topic title I would have chosen someone like Ken Dorsey.
