Let's hear em. Your biggest "duence" moves.

 

 

Here are mine.

 

Cris Cooley - Took him as the 2nd TE off the boards. I really thought

with Saunders coming over he would explode, judging my the success of Tony G. in KC. I cut him 2 weeks ago. Luckily I had LJ Smith too.

 

Randy Moss - I thought the whole ("Bad QB throws the ball up and Randy makes a ton of catches") aka Cullpepper to Moss would be reborn as

Brooks to Moss. My draft was 2 days after the preseason game where they hooked up for 2TD's. Well Brooks sucks more than Cullpeppe and Moss doesn't care anymore.

 

Despite this I have survived and I am in 2nd place. But man I wish I could have those 2 picks back.

:(

Haven't had many - although I did bench Donte Stallworth in week 1 when he had a huge game, assuming that he wouldn't be a major option in Philly.

 

My biggest blunder was probably picking 3 QBs in one league's draft, especially when two of them were Bledsoe and Bulger.

Picking Culpepper in both of my leagues, along with adding Chris Chambers to the mix in one of those leagues.

 

I dropped him in both leagues when he struggled against the Houston Texan's defense last week.

My league was a pre-draft, so my biggest mistakes where, moving up Kevan barlow thinking he was going to put up pretty good numbers in NY and also moving up Ron Dayne, when i was pre-ranking them I read that he was most likely going to win the starting job... Yeah, that worked..

I'm still in first though.

Mine would have to be drafting Griese instead of Grossman in one of my leagues. Fortunately, everybody passed on Grossman in that league and I was able to pick him up as a free agent after the first week. In fact, I'm in three leagues and have King Rex in all three leagues (two as a free agent pickup, one as a late-round draft pick). I also have Berrian in two leagues (both as free agent pickups) and Gould in two leagues (one as a free agent pickup, the other as the very last player chsoen by any team in the draft). So in one league I have Grossman and Berrian, in one league Grossman and Gould, and in one league I have all three.

 

Wait; this thread is supposed to be about BAD moves, not GOOD ones. :D

He's been pretty good the last 3 weeks.

I think my move is the worst. I traded TJ Houshmandezah (hopefully thats close enough) for Kurt Warner. That's right, KURT WARNER. I had Trent Green and Aaron Brooks as my QBs and they both got hurt week one. Warner was coming off a pretty strong game and thought he would be alright with the skills players he had around them. The available QBs all sucked and I have pretty good receivers.

 

Yeah, horrible move.

Chris Chambers. He was my "Brandon Webb pick" as a player I took in just about every league because I was so sure he'd break out and have a huge year. He'd always been a great deep threat and Culpepper was at his best just throwing it up to Moss a lot. Hudson Houck had done a great job with their OLine the year before and was considered one of the best OLine coaches in the league, so I figured Culpepper would have time to throw and Brown would be able to run well enough to keep the defense honest. Thankfully I was right about Webb in the baseball leagues, but so far the Chambers pick has hurt a lot of my teams.

Exactly the same for me -- I bet the farm that Chris Chambers would have a "Steve Smith" type year. Have him in both of my leagues and in one stupidly picked him over Marvin Harrison.... Doh!

Waiting too long to pick up Frank Gore. Dumping Drew Brees instead of Kurt Warner when picking up Grossman. Screwing up the Berrian waiver pick-up. Underappreciating the value the Bears defense gave me last year, and picking up a 3rd RB before taking them.

I missed one of my league's drafts and if I were there I could've had Portis and Steven Jackson. Instead of picking Jackson, yahoo autodraft selected Lamont Jordan.

 

Who are you playing with? Portis and Jackson should have both went in the 1st round.

Waiting too long in the supposed 'year of the QBs' to take mine, which ended up being Brunell and Warner.

 

Biting hard on the Dolphins offense this year with Ronnie Brown and Chris Chambers

 

Not picking up Frank Gore after week one because I thought Mike Bell would contribute.
