Your Best/Worst Draft picks

The title says it all...which high pick in the distant draft has turned into a dud (injuries aside), who was plucked from obscurity to become the main man..??

Shepton Mallet Matadors (East)
Dud - Ryan Grant, Round 3, pick 41 - 27.7 points
Stud - AJ Green, Round 7, pick 97 - 90.5 points

Beast Mode (west)

Dud - Santonio Holmes Round 3 Pick 39 - 58 points

Stud - Willis Mcgahee Round 10 Pick 130 - 91.2 points (beat that!)

BamBams Warriors - West

Duds - DeAngelo Williams, Round 4, pick 51 - 48.40 points
- Chad Ochocinco, Round 7, pick 90 - 13.60 points!

Studs - LeSean McCoy over Jamaal Charles
- AJ Green, round 9, pick 118, 90.50 points

Looking at my draft results, only McCoy, Jennings, Rivers, Finley, Ridley and my kicker are still on my team. What a great draft I had

2 Addai 4 - East

Dud - Mike Sims-Walker, Round 6, pick 82 - 15 points

Stud - Darren Sproles, Round 10, pick 138 - 109.3 points

i beleive i just got burnt

Rushden and Diamantis

Duds- Josh Freeman round 3
Felix Jones, round 4
Brandon Lloyd, round 5

Stud- Newton, round 15

I didn't draft a great team but if anyone can beat Newton in the last round I will be impressed.

Ha Sproles has been unbelieveable for me especially after my top 2 rb's (Charles and Hightower) went down injured for the season.

I remember Vick and Gore were my first 2 picks so Steve Smith and Wes Welker would have both been mid round picks (I can't access fantasy from here) and both have proved to be big players...

Welker was a third round pick for you, Smith was a seventh round (93rd pick) with a wopping 115.6 points!

The Stormbingers [West]
My best picks were Mathews Rd 4 & J.Graham Rd 6
My worst was Kendricks in Rd 9
My rounds 1-2-3 MJD - Roddy White - Dez Bryant have all been so-so

In other leagues I picked up Graham 3 times he's been my best pick anywhere
My biggest failures are DeAngelo Williams in Rd 3 & Mendenhall in Rd 2

606v2 FleaFlicker league
Dud: Andre Johnson 1st round 7th pick 49 points.

Stud: Ryan Matthews 7th round 91st pick 101.1 points.

Another FleaFlicker league
Dud: LeGarrette Blount 4th round 29th pick 63.6 points.

Stud: Matt Stafford 8th round 61st pick 172.95 points.

cherriesfan wrote:Stud - Willis Mcgahee Round 10 Pick 130 - 91.2 points (beat that!)

I have managed to pick McGahee, Jordy Nelson, Anquan Boldin, Deion Branch and Antonio Gates up off waivers in my non 606v2 league.

DUD: Jamaal Charles! 1st Round 13.2 pts !

No "STUDS" in my team but you could say Tolbert has done okay - 87pts Round 7

Dud: Peyton Hillis

Stud: Matt Forte (in comparison to the rest of my wretched team).


I have numerous underachievers who could be considered duds because of the expectations based on draft position and actual performance. MiKe Vick is first and foremost -- he's generated some points, but nowhere close to the lofty expectations based on last year's performance.

By far and away, this has been my worst season of fantasy nightmare football.

I'm not involved in the 606 league, but in my ESPN league my STUD pickup was Welker in the 6th round (73rd overall pick).

I guess the Dud that counts* is Jonathan Stewart in round 3

*(Far too many DUD's, hence I have cut all my picks from round 7 onwards... C.J Spiller(7th round), Zach Miller (8th Round), Rob Bironas (9th Round), Mike Williams (Sea 10th round), Mike Sims-Walker (11th Round), Ronnie Brown (12th Round), Matt Bryant (13th Round), Tony Moeaki (14th Round) & Justin Forsett (15th Round). Incredibly, through chopping and changin FA each week I've made it to 6-3 in my league so far)

Team Tebow (West)

Dud - Knowshon Moreno, Round 3, pick 42 - 26.8 points
Studs - Calvin Johnson, Round 1, pick 14 - 146.4 points
or Matt Forte, Round 2, pick 15 - 138.1 points
Both - Kenny Britt, Round 4, pick 43 (was having a great year until he ended up on IR)

Team Tebow (Fleaflicker 606v2)

Duds - Chris Johnson, Round 1, pick 5 - 62.2 points
or Peyton Hillis, Round 3, pick 33 - 38.7 points
Studs - Willis McGahee, Round 9, pick 117 - 94.2 points
or Detroit Lions TM, Round 15, pick 201 - 125 points (Think I win with that, 15th round, 125 points!)

Going for Moreno in both leagues was bad, my homerism took over there, if only I'd decided to handcuff him with McGahee in the West as in the Fleaflicker league. Picking Chris Johnson has definitely hurt my Fleaflicker league, I wasn't planning on drafting him but I couldn't resist at 5th overall. Megatron and Forte have been absolute beasts, my first two picks in the West. Also the Detroit Lions have got 125 points in my fleaflicker league which is incredible for a defense/special teams.

San Francisco Trams (606 West)

Studs:
- Neil Rackers, Round 15, Pick 197 - 84 points... quality kicker... sums up my draft

Though ignoring the draft, it has been picking up DeMarco Murray and actually starting him as a gamble when he went off for 250yrds.

Duds:
Due to drafting first this was a wonderful "double" pick at the base of the 4th and Top of the 5th...
- Peyton Manning, Round 4, Pick 56 - 0 points
- Mike Williams Tampa, Round 5, Pick 57 - 40.6 points (though some not for me!)
- Kevin Kolb, Round 8, Pick 112 - 82.74 points (though some not for me! - because he was supposed to be my Manning stop gap starter and failed)
- Nate Burleson, Round 9, Pick 113 - 34.80 points (mainly because he was supposed to be half decent as Staffords number two and was drafted to be my Flex along with...)
- Danny Amendola, Round 10, Pick 140 - 4.5 points

New York Bulls (West)

Best:-
1) Aaron Rodgers (4th pick) - Ok hardly a surprise but the points have done the talking and I could have easily gone for a dude RB.
2) Fred Jackson (60th pick) - He's one of the top scoring RBs
3) David Akers (88th pick) - Ok he's a kicker but has 86 pts. That puts him 17th in the RBs list, 9th in WRs and 3rd in TEs. He has only scored under 8 pts once.
4=) Jordy Nelson (137th pick) & Eric Decker (144th pick) Both scored well and both in the top 20 WRs

Worst:-
1=) Felix Jones (25th pick) & Desean Jackson (32th pick) Both since traded for Peyton Hillis in what has to be the worst trade of the year for both parties involved.

In hindsight, I can't believe I wasted picks on these two when I could have got the likes of Wes Welker, Ryan Matthews, Beanie Wells or Steve Johnson.

I grabbed Akers off waivers in Week 5 (in the East), well chuffed with him

Nahh its all about Rackers @ Pick 197 with 84 fantasy points!

I've just been looking through my draft picks to select my stud and dud and it was quite difficult really. Most of my players at the top end of the draft have done quite well and most of the players at the bottom end of my draft have been cut already. The best I could come up with was:

Duds

Josh Freeman - Round 6.
He's scored ok so far but after what he did last year he has been a disappointment, particularly in terms of interceptions. Still 115 points though, not really a dud.

Saints (Defence/Special Teams) - Round 9.
You'd think round 9 would be too late to count as a dud but I cut them before the first game and so they never scored a single point while on my roster.

Stud

Ryan Fitzpatrick - Round 10.
Not been stellar but I have consistently started him over Freeman and he has 124 points. I'm more pleased with myself for spotting his opportunity to have a good season.

My best would have to be taking Aaron Rodgers at 5. Guy is an absolut stud.

Worst without a doubt Peyton Hillis. Madden curse + his sorry ass almost killed me if it wasn't for ^^^^^.

As it is I am top of my money league

Best: Fred Jackson Round 10 95th pick overall. 153.40 Points, second behind Brady as my teams highest point scorer. Him Brady and Calvin Johnson are the main reasons why im 8-1 in NFL league.

Dud: DeSean Jackson Round 4 35th overall. Maybe not such a bad pick but for such an early round slightly dissapointed with what he's produced 61.20.

The one bright spot of my season was this move too. And I almost didn't start him. In fact, I pulled him out of my lineup then reinserted him in time for his romp.

Dyslexia Untied (606v2 East)

Stud: I really don't have one... Shaub in the 5th round maybe?

Duds: Take your pick, Mendenhall in the first, Roddy White in the second, DeSean in the 3rd, Ochocinco in the 6th?

Dyslexia Untied (606v2 West)

Stud: Stafford in the seventh, Maclin in the fifth.

Duds: CJ Spiller in the eighth, Lee Evans in the ninth.

I think we have a winner in the worst draft picks stakes ...

I think I win worst top 4 picks ever. In my 606v2 fleaflicker league I went Chris Johnson, Desean Jackson, Peyton Hillis then Knowshon Moreno

Studs:
Vick
Wes Welker
Jason Witten

Duds:

Reggie Bush
DeSean Jackson
Dion Branch

reggie looks like he may be starting to be productive

Mendehall as the second overall pick was a waste, he is starting to score points now though. Gates (3rd round) hasnt turned out to be too productive either. I had Austin Collie in the 4th round, who has been pathetic.

Studs have to be Fred Jackson (6th round)and AJ Green (8th round).
