Looking at last year's BUSTS/Letdowns coming out of Rounds 1-3 last August. Wow.

    Yeah, the first round was especially brutal last year.  So many land mines.

    On a bright note, Julio was the #1 scoring WR in many of my leagues until he went down to injury.   ;)

    ^^^ I guess that could be a positive. Let's hope this year isn't like last.

    Gronk should be added to that bold list with only making 5 weeks worth owning him and missing the 9 sure wouldn't make me happy if I owned him.
    My league is a non PPR 12 person league having a roster of 19 players each. Active roster includes 1Qb 2Rb's 3Wr's 1Te 1K 1Def. Two weeks before draft we cut the roster down to 9 keepers. My team as of now:
    QB Russell Wilson, EJ Manuel, Josh Mckown
    RB Lamar Miller, Shane Vereen, Zac Stacy, Cierre Wood
    WR AJ Green, Julio Jones, Josh Gordon, Andre Johnson, Rueben Randle, Kenny Stills
    TE J Reed, M. Bennett, Delanie Walker
    DEF Kansas City, Cleveland
    K Steven Hauschka

    (I'm not a expert but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night!)

    Smitty, could we do a super early 2014 redraft mock at some point soon?  Would be interested to see how the first few rounds for next year would look compared to this.

    We just did one in a draft master, but it was redraft. I should have both a write up for redraft (probably on that draft as an example) and one on a dynasty mock on FEB 1. So 9 days.

    Busts are busts no matter what I guess, but I tend to not give the bust label to those that got injured but were performing as expected before the injury. So got me I'd remove Cobb/Julio/Rodgers from that list. Martin was disappointing me before the injury, so I'd leave him on. That's just me though.
    2013 predictions

    -Cobb outscores Harvin in PPR
    -Chris Ivory will be a top 15RB
    -Kenny Britt finishes outside the top 20WRs

    Well, I did label this "bust/letdown" ... getting hurt is a letdown. Rodgers, DMartin, Julio, I don't know about you, but in a big money league I had all three and I sure was letdown :)

    12-team big money league and I thought I was going to run away with it after the draft...Martin, Spiller, T-Rich, and Julio in the first 4 rounds...devastating. I mind as well have forfeited my first four picks and started drafting the 5th round.
