The "Why pick Lendale White in the 3rd round when you could have got him in the 7th" blog post.

Ever since we've moved over to the FAAB system, one of the things we often talk about is how much someone spent/overspent for a player (you paid how much? for who?) or how a player was a steal. Those conversations always bring me back to the day of the infamous Lendale White draft by Cracker. While there was no doubt Lendale lived up to his 3rd round selection, the fact that Cracker could have got him in the 7th round should never be overlooked. The same concept applies to the FAAB system.

Why did you bid $80 for Brandon Jackson when you could have got him for $15? Or did you bid $36 for "player A" guessing correctly that someone would bid $35? We all like to think we're the smartest guy in the room and this gives us a chance to show it (after the draft).

While Yahoo tracks that info, I'm not sure how many people actually go in and look. Besides, it's a pain in the ass to find stuff on the new Yahoo site. Therefore, with my BOTT Ball blog contributor shackles removed, I plan on posting a running total of the bids in an effort to truly identify the worst FAAB pickups and see if there's an owner pattern. This will include bids that had no other bids as well as those that had competition. I'll list both the pickup price and the next highest competition (as listed by yahoo). With no further adieu, the list so far:

Player Cost Team Next Highest Bid Differential Pickup week Issac Redman $2 Drew $0 $2 1 Joique Bell $13 Kao $2 $11 2 Julian Edelman $38 Rob $11 $27 2 Knowshon Moreno $12 Drew $10 $2 2 Julius Thomas $33 Jabs $9 $24 2 Martellus Bennett $3 Rob $0 $3 2

You probably don't care about this info, but I thought why not use the blog for even more shaming of our peers. I'll only post the new additions in the blog (you can access the blog archives if you want to look back), but I'll keep a running total for the year.
