Five drafts are in the books, and with apologies to the Giants-Skins slugfest we all suffered through on Thursday, the results come rushing in tomorrow when the full slate kicks off. I'm not sure about you guys, but watching Brandon Jacobs run over LaRon Landry en route to 116 yards made me feel awful silly about passing on him on more than one opportunity this draft season. Still, it doesn't qualify as one of my three biggest draft-season regrets as the season kicksoff.

1. Sadly, I am MB3 free. Thanks to draft positions either at the front or the back of the first round, I never really felt I had the right opportunity to grab Barber, who I believe has everything going for him this season. Heavy workload, explosive offense, terrific ability... Frankly, I wish I had possesed the cajones to have selected Barber fourth overall in the PFW draft instead of Steven Jackson. If I believe in the Barbarian as much as I do, sometimes you have to roll the dice. In any case, you better believe I'm hoping for a quiet Week One so I can attempt to buy low on MB3 early in a trade.

2. RB-RB early. For the last few years, I've been a staunch opponent of the age-old mandate that one must focus exclusively on RB early. And yet there I was, picking 10th in the 10-team, QB-heavy draft, and rather than locking in the virtually risk-less Peyton Manning, I forced myself into Marshawn Lynch and Clinton Portis at 10 and 11. Watching Portis run in place for 3.7 yards per carry made me sick, if only because I could envision about 15 other backs who are plenty capable of earning me 8.4 fantasy points, while only a couple QBs are capable of what Manning can offer me in a league that scores six points per passing TD. 

3. The Calvin Johnson reach. To tell you the truth, I don't regret this...yet. But I had to include it because it has the potential to ruin me. Picking at No. 31 overall with Lynch, Portis and Boldin already in tow, I was targeting WR. My options were the usual suspects: Holt, Ocho Cinco, Plax, Roy Williams, etc. Frankly, I wasn't in love with any of the above, and I'm convinced that Calvin Johnson will one day be the No. 1 WR in fantasy football (when is the key question). So I rolled the dice in what could honestly be the single biggest reach I've ever made in a draft. As of this moment, I still don't regret it. Holt is old, Chad is hurt, Plax is a guy I don't quite trust. But ask me again in eight weeks, because obviously, Calvin Johnson has never done it, and my optimism aside, it could easily be another year or two until he does. 

I'm certain that at this time Sunday night, I'll have a laundry list of regrets I haven't even considered quite yet. Stay tuned...
