That is a huge price for a player that was going to last a few rounds. Especially since you will not be picking again for a few rounds.
There is no way Elton Brand was going to last until my 3rd round pick unless everyone doesn't realize how special a player he is, which I guess could be possible but doubtful.
I now have 3 of the top 12 fantasy producers from last season on my team, and while I might not win the title this year, I will be a top 1-3 team next year assuming that I do a good job picking in the later rounds which I feel confident I will.
