My biggest Draft-day Mistake was...

This may be odd but taking Marvin Harrison second instead of Reggie Wayne. The reason it was such a mistake is that we had just taken Harrison in the auction of Friday and there was no reason to be so heavily invested in him with Wayne being the same ranking on our draft sheet.

Wayne That is funny you said that, as I too get caught up in that. Being in too many leagues, I will have a guy I already have, and then "pass" on him in the Main (or a higher stakes league).

Probably a sign of being in too many leagues, but I can't help I am addicted to this game! :D

Colston in the 3rd and Fred Taylor in the 5th. Should've grabbed AP, Lynch, Gates or MBIII in the 3rd and taken a solid WR in the 5th instead of banking on Taylor and Brandon Jackson as my RB2 and RB3. Shoulda coulda woulda...

my biggest regret is not taking lamont jordan in every draft i entered. i took him in 4th round in wcoff and wcoff auction. i loved him this year and backed away in nffc because i didn't want him in all leagues.. dumb decision. also shying away from moss. the one league i have him in NFFC Sat league im 5-1 doing great. i had 8th pick, was pissed coming out of the draft, now looking back i did my best job on the fly, not preparing for it, i have palmer, willie parker, benson, leonard, moss, chambers, mason, winslow, just a solid team. oh well, would coulda shoulda.. LJ hurt me in the start of this year.. i think he'll be fine but he's like chad johnson last year.. started off like crap then exploded, but too little too late. thats how i feel in both wcoff and nffc.

We'll see hopefully Roy W, Parker, and Ronnie can have a big second half. Jules never said such a thing. I'm not a Plax fan, but I NEVER said he was washed up. I may have said something about Plax, but washed up is a term I don't use.

For the record, I wouldn't have taken either Deuce or Plax in the 4th

Just Curious, but why would back away from Jordan in the NFFC? The drafts were first, so there was no guarentee that you would own them the next week-end.

I read weber's post, and I instantly thought the same thing as you, Shawn.

Sometimes hindsight has astigmatism.

In the 8-7-07 $500 Satellite, I drafted Adrian Peterson
In the NFFC Main I drafted Thomas Jones

VERY Doubtful I would take Plax now...in the NFFC mid-season league, I took MJD in the 4th...and have no idea if Plax was still on the board.

I do have a little luv for Plax, as I drafted him last year in a WCOFF Sat and he did contribute to my championship team.

I projected Plax at 65/1086/7 this year, hardly "washed up" numbers. Only Week 7 and he has already surpassed by TD projections. :eek:
