Mistakes made this season and RBs down the road

With the season 5 weeks gone, here are some mistakes I made on draft day:
I didn't think R Brown going in the 3rd round was worth it. The Fins lack of a passing game, Ricky Williams, and watching him look somewhat ordinary last year had me shying away. I loved this guy 2 years ago before he got hurt. He really looks great this season.
L Washington - I drafted him on 1 of my 2 online championship teams and have used him as rb2 most weeks (over D Brown) with AP as my rb1. I bought into all of the hype. Maybe Leon's production improves as the season moves along but 6th rd pick for him isn't looking like anything special.
G Jennings- So far, this hasn't worked at all as my 2nd rd pick on my other online championship team. I thought I had R White owners as company but then Sunday came and White had over 160 yds by halftime. Maybe Jennings will do that against the Lions on Sunday.
Sims Walker- I drafted him in the final round on one of my teams and dropped him after week 2 to grab Manningham. Over the course of the season, this will eventually haunt me. I knew better, I really did.
S Smith- I wanted him in every single league but waited too long in 3 of my 5 leagues. If you want someone, to heck with ADP, and go for it. I seem to remind myself of this message every year. Ugghh.
RBs down the road:
My "sleeper" rb that I drafted late was J Forsett. Someone told me he outplayed J Jones on Sunday. I didn't see the game and was wondering if anyone else did. Now 5 weeks into the season, I continue to hold onto Forsett but I'm just not seeing him getting a chance unless there is an injury.
Mendy - he deserves to keep the job over fwp but won't. I'm thinking 50/50 or 60/40 timeshare.
Other mistakes:
C Benson- I didn't believe in him at all
J Gage- I thought he was a great pick around rd 8 or 9. Not looking like it.
N Burleson- was not targeting him - 1 yr removed from acl surgery had me staying away
J Morgan- I really liked him. So far, bust, but he's showing signs of life after Sunday so maybe this pick works out.
A Gonzalez- wanted him in every league- hopefully he is a factor after the Colts' bye week but Peyton may spread the ball around too much for him to be worthy of the 4th rd pick he cost me.
