Funniest Draft/OMG WTF Were They Thinking Pick

mrroandrro · 09-04-2014, 10:43 AM

What were the picks by idiots in your drafts that left you thinking "This is like stealing candy from a baby".

My first draft a guy took Devin Hester with the 1st pick of the 2nd rd (13 overall). He then continued to take 3 TEs, 2 Defenses and 2 K. Worst draft I have ever seen.
2nd draft I saw a guy draft 4 QBs with only 4 picks and we only start 1 QB. His team is terrible too. After the draft was over he was like WTF was I thinking and we left him staring at the draft board.

I joined a yahoo keeper league last year. One owner thought it was funny to take all Jacksonville players. He finished the draft off with Tebow and Hernandez as his last two picks.

He was booted from the league at the end of the year and replaced.

A friend of mine said Jamaal didn't come off the board until the 2nd round in one of his leagues.

.. But that same friend later admitted to trading Jamaal for Drew Brees in another league. Not sure how the point system works but that seemed like a bad idea to me.

We have a resident idiot in our work league (14 teams). Every year he makes WTF picks. Last year his team did well because he chose Peyton Manning #1 overall. Absolutely carried his team. He didn't draft a RB until round 7 or 8 last year and that was Ben Tate (when he was still backing up Arian Foster in Houston). He took 2 QBs, a TE, a K, and a D before his first RB that year.

This year he made the following picks:

1.13 Jimmy Graham
2.2 Tony Romo
3.13 Seattle Seahawks D
4.2 Larry Fitz
5.13 Ben Tate
6.2 Rashad Jennings
7.13 Matt Prater (already suspended at the time of our draft)

Just madness.

People in this particular league way overvalue QBs as well. This year someone took Andrew Lucky #7 overall and someone took Colin Kaepernick #12 overall.

Already covered by DaKCMan, but someone in one of my leagues took a K in round 8, and it was the suspended Matt Prater.

Somebody in my league took Drew Brees #5 overall with AP sitting there. Oh wait, that was me.

First year doing an action keeper league draft, I was the first person to get to select a player to be auctioned off so I threw out the Chicago Bears Adrian Peterson. Everyone bid on him and he ended up going for 62/200 of the dude that got hims budget. I think the real Adrian Peterson only went for 60.

I kind of ruined that dudes draft and he never really recovered in that league.
