What happened in your draft that you weren't expecting? Guys slipping to you, people reaching for crazy picks?



I'm in a league sponsored by my company, so free to enter but you can real money, so people that don't usually play fantasy signed up anyway. A guy took GREG OLSEN #6 overall first round. Because of this Julio Jones slipped to me at #8. I was ecstatic, none of my mock drafts accounted for this level of insanity. If you're going to take a TE first round, why not Gronk?

People were pretty damn patient on QBs. Never happens in my league. I was unfortunately too patient

Someone took Tom Brady in the 3rd and then took Drew Brees in the 5th lol.

And this is a competitive league. Pretty sure the dude just forgot that he had already taken a QB. Needless to say we made fun of him relentlessly for that one.

In one league, had a guy select LeSean McCoy 3rd overall. In another, we all basically completely forgot about WR Keenan Allen until like the 12th round or so and when I realized it, he got sniped two picks before me.

Kind of similar, I was able to draft Hunt two rounds after someone drafted Ware. This was after Ware got hurt, but before they said he was out for the year.

Hunt and Cook early 3rd before Crowell/Miller/DT/etc.

Seems to be the trend both IRL and with mocks I've run.

Got ODB with 5th pick, Michael Thomas in the 2nd round, Zeke in the 3rd round (traded him for Devonta Freeman and Sammy Watkins), and Kareen Hunt in the 10 round

The only surprising part of that is Hunt in the 10th lol. Solid trade for Zeke though.

McCoy fell to like 15th overall. Demaryius Thomas fell to the 6th round. Someone drafted Dak with Brees still on the board.

Weird draft.

That's awesome! I grabbed Hunt in the 6th round (pick #77 overall) in my 14-team on Tuesday

I love me some shady but the bills offense has the potential to be horrible. I'm worried he won't produce so even if he falls to 12 I might pass on him.

A guy in our league drafted Anquan Boldin. Three days after he announced his retirement. The commish double checked and asked him if he was sure he wanted him and he snapped back at him that he did, so....

Needless to say, this will linger on for a while.
