Hindsight's 20/20: The Worst Moves You've Ever Made

[Balzac]

Gave Lamar Miller, and a 4th
For Chris Ivory

The week before the coaching change..

[GridironGuerilla]

Ouch. This thread is painful to look at. Getting it out is good therapy lol!

[Hankybro21]

I drafted Davante Adams over OBJ

Turned down a trade...give: 14th overall pick (Duke Johnson), get: Keenan Allen

Luckily, I found this site shortly after that Keenan Allen/rookie fever disaster but still dream of running out Julio, OBJ, and Keenan every week.

Phew...that was good to get off my chest...I'll see myself out now

I gave Andrew Luck for TRich after their rookie seasons.

Because I had RGIII and didn't need two stud QBs in a 1QB 8 team league.

Sigh.

EDIT: I won the league their rookie year and repeated despite this awful trade.

[GridironGuerilla]

Ouch.

[tdnohe10]

In 2014, I traded Devonta Freeman for Pierre Thomas. Ouch.

Last year, I traded Allen Robinson & Derek Carr for Julian Edelman & Jay Cutler.

Stop trading!

Easy. I also traded Matt Jones for Demaryius Thomas. Julian Edelman for Carlos Hyde. Adrian Peterson for Lamar Miller. Martavis Bryant and Montee Ball for DeAndre Hopkins.

Not all bad.

Yeah, you've got to lose some to win some, for sure.

Shortly after the rookie draft where I was pleased about landing Hopkins at 1.06 (superflex).

Traded Hopkins/CMike/2nd
for Harvin/Mallett

[n20]

2013. I was offered...

Recieve: DeMarco Murray (pre-RB rushing title season) and something more, 2nd round pick I think.
Send: Nick Foles (coming off Pro bowl season)

I declined

Gave Antonio Brown before he broke out for ... Darren Sproles

[kmbryant09]

I believe it was early in the 2013 season, I traded away Eddie Lacy (Rookie with 2 games under his belt), Jordan Cameron (Hype-machine), and a 2014 1st round pick (from a team that was 2-0) for Trent Richardson. The very next week, T-Rich was traded to the Colts (awesome!), and Lacy got knocked out with a Concussion. I was almost at the point where I felt bad about the timing of the trade - I had made out like a bandit!

Well, we know how the story played out with T-Rich's struggles and Lacy's success. To make matters worse, the 2014 1st round pick ended up being 1.02 - Mike Evans.

So I traded away Mike Evans, Eddie Lacy, and Jordan Cameron for Trent Richardson.

[GridironGuerilla]

Yikes! I'm sure you're not alone. T Rich seems to be responsible for a lot of regret and self loathing.

I'm sure I'm not alone here but I passed on Allen Robison who went at the 4.05 in 2014 to draft the likes of Marquise Lee, Kadeem Carey, Marcus Lattimer, and Davante Adams in one of my leagues. For what its worth, I ended up with OBJ and Hill and won the championship in that league that year so I guess all was not lost.

[The Fantasy Feud]

Traded Odell before he played for Tavon and Two seconds.... ugh.

[Phaded]

Okay so now that I have a moment I will mention some of my blunders:

- In 2012, I draft Ray Rice in my start up @ 1.02. Luckily, I hit on some other picks and I have learned a lot since then.

- In a league where I was keeping 16 players, I chose to keep CPatt over Hopkins.

- In the same keep 16 league, I dropped OBJ after week 1 of his rookie year to pick up Hurns. The lesson I learned? Never ever drop a highly drafted prospect until you've had a chance to see what they can do.

- Last off season, I traded away Jarvis Landry for Arian Foster with the news that Foster would have a quick recovery from injury.

The good thing? I've learned from all of these.
