Looking Back
Regardless of how well your team did or is doing, was anyone else guilty of making a waiver or trade that looking back proved to be so incredibly stupid you just have to laugh at yourself? Its a good thing for me I built my team up to respectability or I'd be kicking myself for this one all offseason.
I play in a yahoo league that did an autopick draft (everyones team is automatically drafted based on yahoo's ranking of all players before the season). I ended up with Drew Brees as one of my quarterbacks. Being the fantasy football genius I am, after week 1 I immediately waived him for Chad Pennington!
Ok, everyone else, share your experiences.

These were my draft picks in order:
Edge, Caddy, Derrick Mason, Matt Hasselbeck, Todd Heap, Warrick Dunn, Moose Muhammad, Keyshawn Johnson, Nate Burleson, Braylon Edwards, David Akers, LJ Smith, Trent Green, Tampa D, Doug Gabriel, Mojo Drew, Lawrence Tynes, Jets D
My only good draft picks were Hass (when healthy) Dunn, Heap, and Mojo
Luckily for me, Drew Brees went undrafted and as soon as Trent Green went down I grabbed Brees. Also, I dropped Burleson and grabbed Colston after week 2. So basically I was in the Playoff hunt until the very last week because of Mojo (16th Round), Brees (Undrafted Free Agent) and Colston (Undrafted Free Agent)

Well this year I didn't do anything too bad, but last year is a different story. I had my draft all set. If certain guys fell to me in a given round I would take them then. I play in a keeper league. You keep two and if you keep a third you lose your first round pick. I kept A. Green and D. McAllister. They were fantastic for me for 2 or 3 years. Before the draft I traded Green for the second pick in the draft and took S. Jackson.
Sounds good from there, but it gets worse. In the second round I had already drafted R. Wayne, so I figured I'd gamble on a receiver. I drafted Roy Williams. Before the draft I said I would take Steve Smith in that spot if he was there. He was, and I didn't take him.
It gets worse.
In the fourth round, which is our 6th player, I drafted D. Foster. This was when S. Davis was hurt all pre-season and Foster looked good. I figured I just needed a guy who was going to play my bye weeks. Well before the draft I said if Larry Johnson was there I would take L. Johnson (P. Holmes was still playing but he was on borrowed time). I didn't. I looked at it last year and I would have gone 13-1 during the regular season and won the championship with those 2 guys. The pain can still be seen on my face.

Lol. My first year in FF (2004) I took Daunte Culpepper with my first pick, and Rudi Johnson with my 2nd. Turned out pretty well I made the Playoffs and lost in the 2nd round. Last year I barely remember anything about my team because my computer crashed after like week 3 and I didnt get it back til after the season. $150 wasted there

I picked up Colston after week 2. Not a bad move for a FF rookie imo. My QBs were Hasselbeck and Culpepper. When they both went down (the week before Colston started getting 100+ yds ad 2 TDs every game, I traded Colston for Rivers just to have a QB. Bonehead move!

Funny you mention Colston cause that brings up another thing from this season, that could have been a boneheaded move if it had actually happened.
I also picked up Colston after about week 2, then proceeded to offer a trade to another team, Colston for Antonio Bryant. Thank god for me the trade was denied. I bet that team is cursing his stupidity for his own boneheaded move about now. lol

The only terrible thing I did this year was drop Addai to pick up Jamal Lewis in week 12. The person that picked him up turned out to be my opponent that week and he started him. Anyone remember what he did in week 12? Yeah 4 TDs, 33 fantasy points.
That is the only bonehead move I've made this year.
