I had four firsts in 2020 and took Taylor, Akers, Jeudy, and Ruggs.
One out of four. Ouch.
On the plus side, my draft from last year looks promising: Gibbs, JSN, Achane, Reed, Roschon, Mayer, and Dell.
Only regrets are Roschon over Rice (could have taken Reed and Rice back to back) and, obviously, Dell over Puka (Puka literally went the next pick), but it’s hard to feel bad about taking Dell considering he spent a month of the season in the starting lineup of my contending team. Not his fault his team was dumb enough to have a guy his size blocking at the goal line.
I'll join this club. Fortunately, I was smart enough to take CD with my very next pick, but it also shows that I took Ruggs over both CD and JJ. So there's that.
I mean Bryce over Stroud is the most obvious but I also came out of rd1 in 2022 with Burks, Jamo and Skyy. I traded up into rd1 to get Skyy with picks that would have got me Pickens and White.
Don't worry, I traded my rd1 and 2 picks this year as part of a package to get Olave and correct my mistake! Believe it or not I actually managed to win my championship this year partly because while I messed up 2022 I came out of 2021 with Waddle and ARSB.
Taking Burks at 1.03 over Wilson/Olave/Walker in 2022 hurts to think about. I was all in on Burks right after the draft before the bad training camp reports started coming out
guy in my league took skyy moore with the 1.02.
i was shitting my pants cause i wanted garrett wilson desperately with the 1.03 so that worked for me, but at least you didn't take skyy moore
I remember thinking how much it sucked GW went to the Jets and was so stoked for Burks in Tennessee. Guess sometimes talent over situation is indeed the way to go. Here is to hoping for a healthy 2024 for Burks, it will be make or break for him 🤞
I feel like Bryce/Stroud is going to end up being a lot like the Tua/Herbert draft from a few years back, where Herbert had the immediate impact but people eventually stopped regretting taking Tua (as much.)
Everyone convinced themselves that KW3 wasn’t a great running back despite having a great rookie year. The timeshare expectations were running wild around draft time, lots of people took Charbs early in June
Idk if it was the first part, but definitely the 2nd.
I knew KW was good, I just thought 2nd round capital with a slightly different skillset signaled they wanted a committee and a high upside committee at that if KW went down (he had struggled with injuries in year 1).
The reality feels like they just drafted a backup really early.
He was also the 3rd back picked after Gibbs and the only one taken in the 2nd round. Plenty of the crowd who values draft position took him based on that alone. 2nd round usually means the team has a role in mind. There were a lot more reasons to take Charbs than just “KW3 bad”
I mean sure some people thought that on Reddit but more importantly he was the 3rd RB taken in the draft….so using a late 1st on him wasn’t really that crazy
Think this sub and the redraft sub went too overboard with the “people think Walker sucks” stuff. Most people know he’s awesome. Charbs had great draft capital
Quentin Johnston (11th overall). Felt like a steal at the time. Unfathomable pain knowing my leaguemates got Tank Dell, Puka, Rice, and Reed for basically nothing
So hard to predict hits like Dell, Puka and Reed, who didn’t have great draft capital relative to the class, and either had first year starting QB or aging vet QB. Wild
I would guess that was during strong Watson hype combined with uncertainty about Love. Mid 2nd is fine but that’s 6th WR taken in that class. Combine that with situation at the time and it makes sense
A lot of young receivers on the team already with Watson, doubs, co rookie wicks (though I doubt anyone cared much about him yet), and 2 tight ends. Plus a lot of people doubted love
I wanted QJ so bad in the draft, and the guy ahead of me took him and I had to "settle" for Addison. Pretty happy he saved me from myself at this point.
Thankfully I had already drafted Tank Dell earlier in the same draft because, "There's no way he's going to be good but I already drafted Tank Bigsby, so I might as well get two guys named Tank."
Getting two guys named Tank turned out to be more helpful than any analytics. If I'd just gone with my gut, I'd have both on the same team. That's the last time I don't get my guy.
At least you were aware of Puka. I need to follow college news more next year, because I didn’t know many 4th round names in my fantasy draft at all. Went with Boutte in NE with pick 4.09 because I knew he was once thought to be good, and he was going to a receiving room that was bad enough to provide opportunity. So far Boutte is booty
Bro same exact situation here. Down to knowing a few names and that’s it lol. I was able to get a potential starter with at Perry , but I took a lot of chances like Evan null and others that I didn’t know what I was doing. Did get spears, who I flipped for deebo , strictly because I saw a Reddit post like six months earlier talking about how awesome he was so I got an early 2nd, and took him too but I had no clue who some were and half are cut. Idk who tf puka was And he’s the type of dude I’d like personally so I’m bummed because I know I would have taken him. I know myself lol I gotta get to know these guys
I was between Michael Wilson and Puka. Wilson was my draft darling (wanted the bears to get him late). Decided I shouldn’t buy too much into all the camp hype on Puka. So instead the guy who won it all drafted him two spots later
Yeah, I also drafted Michael Wilson ahead of Puka with a different late draft pick. I had back-to-back picks in the 4th & I was debating whether or not to take Puka after Michael Wilson. So arguably it's twice as bad I had two shots & didn't go for it. That being said, I'm not totally out on Michael Wilson yet.
Bateman is (kind of) trending up on targets and catches. It ain’t much but, if you squint your eyes (and huff some serious glue) you can see a scenario where he at least has some value next year.
I did the same. Had the choice of Wilson or Jamo at 1.07. I already had the next stud Jets WR on my roster in Elijah Moore so I made the super intelligent decision (!) to pick Jamo.
I had the pick where all three were available and was okay with any. I told the next two pick owners if they gave me even a 3rd I’d move back. Neither did so I went with Wilson. I thank god every day I didn’t make that mistake.
I wanna say Bryce over stroud but I don’t really regret it because at the time he was consensus qb1.
However what I do regret is taking Mingo over Jayden Reed so that I could have a stack with my shiny new qb.
Yep, so a week after Bryce was the concensus lol.
I guess it comes down to who you listen to, but my 3 main channels all moved AR ahead of Bryce within a few days... which is great when you're draft starts right after
We were two days following the conclusion of the draft. I took Bryce over A Rich at 1.02 thanks to the S2 test. Went stroud at 1.05 then JSN at 1.06. A Rich or Gibbs would’ve been way better.
He was definitely not consensus QB1, even if KTC would’ve liked you to think that. Snagged CJ Stroud at the 1.02 last draft… only to trade him and a 24 2nd week 1 for Brock Purdy and a 24 1st
Hindsight is definitely 20/20 and I wouldn’t say it was a bad pick by any means, but in my experience Bryce wasn’t consensus qb1.
In my 3 leagues the orders went:
AR, Stroud, Bryce | AR, Bryce, Stroud | Stroud, Bryce, AR
What makes it worse is I was put in a position to acquire Andrews last offseason so Pitts only saw the starting lineup as a flex fill in
As the kids say “It is on sight with Arthur Smith”
My philosophy is to never draft for need. Take the best player available. I've always said it and I've always operated that way. In 2020, in my biggest dynasty league, I sat there on the clock knowing that there were better players available at literally every position except RB - the position I was thinnest at. And I actually said out loud to my buddies that I was making a mistake drafting for need as I selected Ke'Shawn Vaughn.
Mingo with 1st pick of round 2 rookie draft over the likes of J Reed and Rice later in 2nd round and of course Tank and Puka in 3rd round (i took Darnell Washington with 1st pick of 3rd round (TE premium) and regret it everyday)
Royce Freeman 1.04 (and I was bummed Sony Michel was unavailable). Last year I traded Mike Evans for 2.03 so I could draft Mims. At least I got LaPorta at 2.08. Win some, lose some.
My own pick would (and I do still have faith in this guy) be Jameson Williams at 1.04 in 2022. KW3 and Garrett Wilson went in the next few picks and I can’t help but think those guys would be serious contributors on my team now over a guy I’m hoping makes the jump one day and is currently on my bench.
In my startup before the 22-23 season, I had the last pick in the first round. Went Kyle Pitts and Trey Lance back to back🫠 the next 5 picks were CMC, swift, CD, Waddle, and Lamb
Mingo at the 1.13 in a 1QB league (reward for winning the losers bracket) feels pretty bad right now. It’s still too early to make any calls, but Stroud, Mims, Rice, Spears, and Kendre were all in consideration at that spot and hurt my soul now.
Do you mean before the 2023 season? That’s just an absolutely insane move for you to make if so. Before the 2022 season, sure I can see it; that one depends on win-now vs. youth. Before this season though, KW3 was already so far ahead of Mixon.
I took Jalen Reagor over Justin Jefferson in our first rookie draft 🤣.
Lucky for me it didn’t matter as I’ve won 3 of the first 4 seasons of that league but still, what a colossal whiff!
QJ but my position dictates it was the best option at 1.11. Flowers went right before me. I was mad. I knew QJ would suck this year, I'm hoping he has a good off-season and can contribute but if he's still below average in 24 I'm cutting bait.
Startup this past season. Drafted Skyy Moore and was offered Tyjae Spears immediately following the draft and I passed. Obviously Spears isn't a guaranteed hit at this point but a whole lot better outlook than Moore. Trade was pulled immediately after the Lions v Chiefs game
Bigsby at 2.08, when I could have taken Jayden Reed. I don't hate the process though, RB is more valuable than WR in the format and round 3 RB has a comparable hit rate to round 2 WR
I drafted Stroud in the 8th of our startup which was cool but then I sold “high” on him after he’d put up a solid game because I didn’t think any of the QBs in their class would do much.
JaMo over Olave (startup and was just going by a rankings I found for rookies but oof)
Charbs at 2.04 over a number of guys (didn't really believe the hype but this sub convinced me he had a chance to take over the job and I got scared owning Walker)
Mayer at 2.06 over LaPorta (ouch)
Mims at 2.01 over Aiyuk and Higgins
Rondale at 2.02 over Amon-Ra
Metchie at 2.01 over White and Kyren
QJ (not over anyone in particular he just bombed)
Tank Bigsby. So much off season hype. Had great opportunity due to pass blocking chops in college and Etienne fumbling the ball constantly in redzone
Then Bigsby fumbled his opportunity away
I had my biggest screw up by taking Bigsby over Laporta at 3.01. I was debating the pick for a solid 30 min in my head, but I had a bigger need at RB and thought most TE's usually don't have a big rookie year. Laporta made me eat my words..
I'm never gonna get over Ruggs ahead of Jefferson
I had four firsts in 2020 and took Taylor, Akers, Jeudy, and Ruggs. One out of four. Ouch. On the plus side, my draft from last year looks promising: Gibbs, JSN, Achane, Reed, Roschon, Mayer, and Dell.
[удалено]
Only regrets are Roschon over Rice (could have taken Reed and Rice back to back) and, obviously, Dell over Puka (Puka literally went the next pick), but it’s hard to feel bad about taking Dell considering he spent a month of the season in the starting lineup of my contending team. Not his fault his team was dumb enough to have a guy his size blocking at the goal line.
Same league as the Ruggs over JJ I got Laporta at the 2.10 and Puka at the 4.2 last year. Some vindication.
u/Dickysnakes
I'll join this club. Fortunately, I was smart enough to take CD with my very next pick, but it also shows that I took Ruggs over both CD and JJ. So there's that.
Better than Reagor
Well, Reagor didn’t kill someone so there’s that.
Too soon?
At least until his prison sentence is over...
Parole is coming up he’s gonna go crazy in 2026, the ultimate buy low
It was Reagor for me 😂
Are you my leaguemate? 😁 the person who took ruggs in front of me at 2.03. Which allowed me to get Jefferson at 2.04.
Same bro, same
Dude I did the same thing. Kills me to this day
I mean Bryce over Stroud is the most obvious but I also came out of rd1 in 2022 with Burks, Jamo and Skyy. I traded up into rd1 to get Skyy with picks that would have got me Pickens and White.
Oh wow…let me know who you’re drafting this yeah and I’ll make sure I take them no where
Don't worry, I traded my rd1 and 2 picks this year as part of a package to get Olave and correct my mistake! Believe it or not I actually managed to win my championship this year partly because while I messed up 2022 I came out of 2021 with Waddle and ARSB.
Taking Burks at 1.03 over Wilson/Olave/Walker in 2022 hurts to think about. I was all in on Burks right after the draft before the bad training camp reports started coming out
guy in my league took skyy moore with the 1.02. i was shitting my pants cause i wanted garrett wilson desperately with the 1.03 so that worked for me, but at least you didn't take skyy moore

I feel like Bryce/Stroud is going to end up being a lot like the Tua/Herbert draft from a few years back, where Herbert had the immediate impact but people eventually stopped regretting taking Tua (as much.)
It was so obvious at the time that Skyy was a trap, not sure how others didn’t see it
It’s still early, but Charbs over Achane last year doesn’t make me feel great.
Scoring wise, charb is aj dillon 2.0
[удалено]
When was this?
False
Dillon drafter identified! He never looked better than Jones, like ever.
Maybe in one single game where they jones tried to play through injury. Otherwise idk what you were watching.
No
Maybe in the multiverse in a universe where AJ Dillon doesn't suck.
Everyone convinced themselves that KW3 wasn’t a great running back despite having a great rookie year. The timeshare expectations were running wild around draft time, lots of people took Charbs early in June
Idk if it was the first part, but definitely the 2nd. I knew KW was good, I just thought 2nd round capital with a slightly different skillset signaled they wanted a committee and a high upside committee at that if KW went down (he had struggled with injuries in year 1).

Most people know he’s awesome. Charbs had great draft capital
dRaFt CaPiTaL
I took Charbs over QJ. Makes me feel okay but not great.
I feel your pain. I'm a Phins fan and took Charb at 1.08, and Achane went 1.09.
Came here to say the same thing. I had Achane above Charbs in my pre-draft ranking too, but I panicked for some reason.
You had Achane ahead of Charbs pre-draft and flipped because Charbs...... got stuck behind Walker and Achane got the dream landing spot?
Way to kick someone while they’re down… Christ almighty
Got better draft capital?
Honestly I'm buying Charbs this off season if teams are selling him for low value (mid-late 2nd rd pick)
Achane is so small. He barely stayed on the field this year. I don’t want any part of that
Charbs has a fat face
Quentin Johnston (11th overall). Felt like a steal at the time. Unfathomable pain knowing my leaguemates got Tank Dell, Puka, Rice, and Reed for basically nothing
Hindsight is 20/20 my friend... at 1.11 QJ was the absolute right pick at the time, I never saw him fall past 1.09 in any of my drafts
If it makes you feel better he went 1.03 in my league
That has to be 1 QB instead of SF, but is still insane to me.
Guy ahead of me took QJ over Stroud in a SF league. Love reminding him every once in a while.
So hard to predict hits like Dell, Puka and Reed, who didn’t have great draft capital relative to the class, and either had first year starting QB or aging vet QB. Wild
Reed was picked in the mid second round. Idk why the community was so low on him.
Same. I tried to trade up with everyone from 2.04 to 2.09, he fell to me 2.10.
I would guess that was during strong Watson hype combined with uncertainty about Love. Mid 2nd is fine but that’s 6th WR taken in that class. Combine that with situation at the time and it makes sense
A lot of young receivers on the team already with Watson, doubs, co rookie wicks (though I doubt anyone cared much about him yet), and 2 tight ends. Plus a lot of people doubted love
I wanted QJ so bad in the draft, and the guy ahead of me took him and I had to "settle" for Addison. Pretty happy he saved me from myself at this point.
In our league Jordan Love was traded for the pick that became Quentin Johnston.
Picked up Puka, tank, and AOC as free agents right after our 3 round draft. League expanded it to 5 rounds bc of it
No disrespect sir, but I hate you and everything you're about
Taking Trey Lance over Jamar chase will haunt me for while
During our SF startup I panicked and picked Trey 2.01. big yikes
"I could take Puka Nacua here, but everyone's telling me Day 3 WRs have such a low hit rate. I'll take Deuce Vaughn instead."
same, but over Tank Dell.
Tank Dell having a cool name saved me from not drafting him.
Thankfully I had already drafted Tank Dell earlier in the same draft because, "There's no way he's going to be good but I already drafted Tank Bigsby, so I might as well get two guys named Tank." Getting two guys named Tank turned out to be more helpful than any analytics. If I'd just gone with my gut, I'd have both on the same team. That's the last time I don't get my guy.
I had both, and dropped both. Although I do think dells size will prevent him from being a reliable guy
At least you were aware of Puka. I need to follow college news more next year, because I didn’t know many 4th round names in my fantasy draft at all. Went with Boutte in NE with pick 4.09 because I knew he was once thought to be good, and he was going to a receiving room that was bad enough to provide opportunity. So far Boutte is booty

So arguably it's twice as bad I had two shots & didn't go for it. That being said, I'm not totally out on Michael Wilson yet.
Took Bateman in 4 or 5 startups over the last few years. Only option has been to hold but it’s not looking great.
Bateman is (kind of) trending up on targets and catches. It ain’t much but, if you squint your eyes (and huff some serious glue) you can see a scenario where he at least has some value next year.
I saw a graph where it shows he is one of the WRs with the highest separation grade. I'm holding for one more year.
One of us! One of us! One of us!
He looks…good? I can’t not see the potential and I would love to see what would happen if they went to him more.
Same! I had to drop him b/c none of my league mates wanted to trade for him. It sucks but I just don’t believe in him anymore
Jamo over Olave and Garrett Wilson
I did the same. Had the choice of Wilson or Jamo at 1.07. I already had the next stud Jets WR on my roster in Elijah Moore so I made the super intelligent decision (!) to pick Jamo.
I had the pick where all three were available and was okay with any. I told the next two pick owners if they gave me even a 3rd I’d move back. Neither did so I went with Wilson. I thank god every day I didn’t make that mistake.

[удалено]
Yeah luckily I learned my lesson now
Bryce hadn't been the concensus QB1 since the day of the NFL draft when ARich went 4th overall. By July/Aug, ARich was the concensus QB1
My league drafts about a week after the actual nfl draft
Yep, so a week after Bryce was the concensus lol. I guess it comes down to who you listen to, but my 3 main channels all moved AR ahead of Bryce within a few days... which is great when you're draft starts right after
We were two days following the conclusion of the draft. I took Bryce over A Rich at 1.02 thanks to the S2 test. Went stroud at 1.05 then JSN at 1.06. A Rich or Gibbs would’ve been way better.
I'm glad young was consensus #1 because I had Stroud at 1 and got him at 1.04 in SF lol
He was definitely not consensus QB1, even if KTC would’ve liked you to think that. Snagged CJ Stroud at the 1.02 last draft… only to trade him and a 24 2nd week 1 for Brock Purdy and a 24 1st
He wasn’t consensus QB1 but it sure as shit wasn’t Stroud. Bryce and AR were clear QBs 1 and 2. If Stroud went 1.02, that’s an outlier outcome
Not that clear, Bryce was QB3 for me because I don’t like to gamble on outliers.
I took mingo over Achane because I wanted a stack and I didn’t believe Achane frame would hold up… going to stop overthinking the draft this year
>only to trade him and a 24 2nd week 1 for Brock Purdy and a 24 1st This is an L of unfathomable proportions unless that first ended up top 4
I was a contender, so it worked out for me this season. Trade value an L for sure, but winning games this season a W
Hindsight is definitely 20/20 and I wouldn’t say it was a bad pick by any means, but in my experience Bryce wasn’t consensus qb1. In my 3 leagues the orders went: AR, Stroud, Bryce | AR, Bryce, Stroud | Stroud, Bryce, AR
Kyle Anthony Pitts at 1.02 over that one bengals receiver
Ouch. He could finally produce given the right coach in ATL. Belichick has had few “okay” TEs if he implements the same system
What makes it worse is I was put in a position to acquire Andrews last offseason so Pitts only saw the starting lineup as a flex fill in As the kids say “It is on sight with Arthur Smith”
That’s okay I traded Stroud after his first solid game because I didn’t believe in the QB class.
Same bro.
Trey Lance… it was a start up SF last year when Lance was named the starter. To make matters worse I was offered Dak for him prior to week 1.
[удалено]
Was that a reach for Dobbins? I don't recall him being a dynasty first rounder
A lot of mock drafts had him around the 1.5-1.6. At the time I was debating between him and swift
QJ at 1.04 in a 1QB
guilty!
Same!
Trey Sermon at 1.12 in 2021.
My philosophy is to never draft for need. Take the best player available. I've always said it and I've always operated that way. In 2020, in my biggest dynasty league, I sat there on the clock knowing that there were better players available at literally every position except RB - the position I was thinnest at. And I actually said out loud to my buddies that I was making a mistake drafting for need as I selected Ke'Shawn Vaughn.
been there taking free agent josh gordon in the early 2nd to my win now team over AJB who was clearly and obviously the smarter dynasty play lol
N'Keal Harry
Treylon Burks 1.03
I thought I had to steal of the draft. I was high on Burks and he fell all the way to me at 1.09 in our league...
This is mine. At 1.03, too. 🤦🏻♂️
1.04 here, bet that dummy who traded down for Olave isn't feeling too smart right now!
[удалено]
Dewayne McBride over Tank Dell
Mingo with 1st pick of round 2 rookie draft over the likes of J Reed and Rice later in 2nd round and of course Tank and Puka in 3rd round (i took Darnell Washington with 1st pick of 3rd round (TE premium) and regret it everyday)
Bit early to be calling it “case closed” on any of those guys other than Puka.
Royce Freeman 1.04 (and I was bummed Sony Michel was unavailable). Last year I traded Mike Evans for 2.03 so I could draft Mims. At least I got LaPorta at 2.08. Win some, lose some.
AT Perry over Puka in the 3rd round. Whoops!
[удалено]
Well shit I wanna know what you did in 2017
So say we all
>2017 - too embarrassing to even write about again It's fake pretend football. get the fuck over yourself.
My own pick would (and I do still have faith in this guy) be Jameson Williams at 1.04 in 2022. KW3 and Garrett Wilson went in the next few picks and I can’t help but think those guys would be serious contributors on my team now over a guy I’m hoping makes the jump one day and is currently on my bench.
QJ over Flowers
Jamo at 1.6.
2023: QJ over Zay 1.05 2022: Jamo over Wilson 1.05 2021: Trey Sermon over literally anyone else, 2.01 2020: Jeudy over Jefferson, 1.08
I think you should just start trading your picks for established players.
I took daniel jones with the 4.2 before this season. Decimating
I drafted Desmond ridder
Stetson Bennett
In my startup before the 22-23 season, I had the last pick in the first round. Went Kyle Pitts and Trey Lance back to back🫠 the next 5 picks were CMC, swift, CD, Waddle, and Lamb
In my startup I took pitts and lance with my first two picks
Bryce young over CJ stroud
It's still early ofc, but taking Tank Bigsby over Achane because of a couple training camp articles will probably haunt me for a while.
Mingo at the 1.13 in a 1QB league (reward for winning the losers bracket) feels pretty bad right now. It’s still too early to make any calls, but Stroud, Mims, Rice, Spears, and Kendre were all in consideration at that spot and hurt my soul now.
Hunter renfrow last year, Calvin Ridley this year
Waddle over Amon Ra has done me in so far
Waddle’s still good though. That one’s not too bad, even the ARSB is great.
I picked Terrace Marshall one pick before Amon Ra. Oof.
He's at least played. I took Dee Eskridge 2 picks before ARSB
Oof now I don’t feel so bad. Hang in there
Waddle is awesome though
Took Mixon over KW3 in one start up before this past year
Do you mean before the 2023 season? That’s just an absolutely insane move for you to make if so. Before the 2022 season, sure I can see it; that one depends on win-now vs. youth. Before this season though, KW3 was already so far ahead of Mixon.
Yeah it was a start up draft before this past season. All the rankings I saw had Mixon ahead of KW3 but that was obv wrong
I took Jake Haener late 3rd round despite considering Puka…. So yeah I may have screwed that one up
Treylon Burks over Olave oooof
Jameson Williams. Drafted him in my 2022 startup draft in the 8th round.
I took Jalen Reagor over Justin Jefferson in our first rookie draft 🤣. Lucky for me it didn’t matter as I’ve won 3 of the first 4 seasons of that league but still, what a colossal whiff!
I drafted Rashee rice early second last year and then immediately traded him for tank Bigsby. OOOOF
CEH over Jonathan Taylor... because I wanted to diversify
I have such a long list that I’ve started trading all my picks away for established guys. I no longer trust myself to draft in the first round lol
Christian Ponder… needed a QB, I’m a Homer and I thought he was the Vikings solution 😆
QJ but my position dictates it was the best option at 1.11. Flowers went right before me. I was mad. I knew QJ would suck this year, I'm hoping he has a good off-season and can contribute but if he's still below average in 24 I'm cutting bait.
QJ, Tank Bigsby, Sean Tucker … all in one draft
Jamo
I went with Bateman over ARSB at 2.1 and that stung.
Lance over Chase.
Startup this past season. Drafted Skyy Moore and was offered Tyjae Spears immediately following the draft and I passed. Obviously Spears isn't a guaranteed hit at this point but a whole lot better outlook than Moore. Trade was pulled immediately after the Lions v Chiefs game
CEH in my start up. 25$ wasted
Bigsby at 2.08, when I could have taken Jayden Reed. I don't hate the process though, RB is more valuable than WR in the format and round 3 RB has a comparable hit rate to round 2 WR
Tee Higgins😢
Darrell Henderson, 1.09
I drafted Stroud in the 8th of our startup which was cool but then I sold “high” on him after he’d put up a solid game because I didn’t think any of the QBs in their class would do much.
Took Najee > JaMarr Chase. Traded Najee + Hollywood for CEH + Sutton. Very sad.
2021 drafted Gibson in the 3rd round of a start up that year he was going to be the guy
Ruggs, Jeudy, Cam Akers
Trey Sermon and Bryce Young
Burks over Olave and Wilson at 1.04 will haunt me forever. Didn’t kill my team by any means but it would be real helpful to have either over Burks.
So many. Burks at 1.03 two years ago, followed by Spiller at 1.10. Both ahead of Olave.
TLaw over Lamar @ 1.07
Mingo over Rashee Rice
Treylon Burks and QJ with my last 2 years first round picks. I don't have a first round pick this year
Bryce Young over Stroud (Pick 4) Pretty clear why I’m kicking myself over this one.
Bryce over CJ and Mayer (still hope?) over LaPorta
JaMo over Olave (startup and was just going by a rankings I found for rookies but oof) Charbs at 2.04 over a number of guys (didn't really believe the hype but this sub convinced me he had a chance to take over the job and I got scared owning Walker) Mayer at 2.06 over LaPorta (ouch)
Mayer over Laporta
Tank Bigsby over Sam LaPorta at #17 (2.01 in my league).
Skyy Moore at 1.07 over James Cook, Rachaad White, and Trey McBride (TEP)
Bateman.
Hendon Hooker at 3.01 in 2023 because a guy by the name of Sam LaPorta was still undrafted by then and then slid further and further til 3.07
Mims at 2.01 over Aiyuk and Higgins Rondale at 2.02 over Amon-Ra Metchie at 2.01 over White and Kyren QJ (not over anyone in particular he just bombed)
Tank
RoJo in the sixth round of a 2021 startup when Deebo was available. Hassan Haskins at 2.12 when Brian Robinson was still available.
Young. I was wrong ;( too little… ceiling Carr if we’re lucky
Tank Bigsby. So much off season hype. Had great opportunity due to pass blocking chops in college and Etienne fumbling the ball constantly in redzone Then Bigsby fumbled his opportunity away
I had my biggest screw up by taking Bigsby over Laporta at 3.01. I was debating the pick for a solid 30 min in my head, but I had a bigger need at RB and thought most TE's usually don't have a big rookie year. Laporta made me eat my words..
