There were two guys I was super interested to see taken, and now I thought of a third - this one is the most likely.

I'm taking the guy who is probably the front-runner on the potential murderer list, a trait that I think CF88's team should take note of as this guy is one late Amazon delivery away from mowing down a convent.
Antonio Brown (WR)
I wouldn't say he's as good as the other WRs taken, but he's crazier than a rabid possum that's been forcefed lead paint all its life. And that has value. At his peak he can shred defenses and rack up an easy 100 yards and a TD nearly every game. Sometimes I've watched him and thought "Was that a route? Did he just see the gap in the defense and go there? Did he burn coverage to a crisp?" because part of his success was how much space he was always finding for himself. Was that him? Was it his OC? Who the hell knows? What's important is that I'm going to point him at CF88's roster once his neighbor's chihuahua begins communing with him in the dark.
Remember the time he froze his feet off? Who the f*** does that? My newest addition, that's who. Welcome to the meat, AB.
@Captain Dave Poulin I'm not PMing you because you just said you ignore those or whatever you said

It's not like I'm thrilled about it either, but what can you do.
I joke about AV drinking his own pee; I dare anyone to deny they suspect AB actually truly drinks pee.

I did an actual writeup, so please no snipes. Be kind, Rewind or something.

I'm going to get serious here for a minute, because this is something I have thought of repeatedly over the years. I didn't grow up around any people of color, at all. There were the Vietnamese boat people that my mom helped get settled, but that was the extent of my non-white-people exposure. None of us did it on purpose - it was just something that coincidentally happened. But I always instinctively hated racism and racists, and f***ing loathed that worst word. It's ugly as sin and hateful. I knew this and felt this instinctively. I was lucky that there weren't a ton of racist douchebags around me - by and large, the people in my circle were perfectly decent.
My second-favorite human being on this planet during my childhood was black. He still wasn't in my neighborhood, unfortunately - he was just on my TV. I'd like to think that the core of who I am would have rebuffed any racist impulses, but it never had to. How could I look down on, or feel superior to, or ... whatever f***ing racist pigs feel, when I idolized this spectacular football player? It never once even occurred to me to do so.
I know you guys hate his guts, and I know why, and I couldn't care less. I never thought of him as my bulwark against racism - I just watched him make clutch play after clutch play and give his best to unbreak my heart against those f***ing greasy cheating c***s - but there's nothing wrong with serving dual purposes. Finally in the Hall of Fame after a shamefully long wait.

Another guy I only know from reputation as his career long pre-dated my life. He is the first black player to be inducted into the hall of fame, his nickname was the "Gremlin" (which has special place in my heart), and, as of his retirement in 1961 he was the all time leader in interceptions, interception return yards, punt returns and punt return yards. 60 years later, he has only fallen to 2nd all time in interceptions. He was a 6x 1st team All Pro.
Oh, and he served in the Navy and was awarded the Naval Silver Lifesaving Medal for saving a drowning shipmate in near freezing temperatures.... and he also saved a shipmate after a ship was struck by a torpedo, earning him burns on his own hands that miraculously did not impact his later football career.
Welcome to the club S Emlen "The Gremlin" Tunnell!
@JojoTheWhale, seems unlikely that you were sniped, so please proceed.

As such, we need to find something useful to do with the Kicker position. Luckily there’s a hidden option that fits our offensive philosophy perfectly.
I’m sure you all know Jerry Rice broke just about every Receiving record there was. What you may not know is the identity of the player whose records he mainly broke. It wasn’t any of the famous WRs of the 60s or 70s. It was someone from way back in the late 30s and early 40s, the man credited with inventing the modern NFL Wide Receiver, Don Hutson.
When judged against contemporaries, Hutson pretty clearly has the second best career to the aforementioned Rice. If you take out his rookie season when he was still adjusting, the rest of Hutson’s career comprises 10 seasons. In 8 of those, he lead the league in Receptions. In 7 of those, he lead the league in Yards. In 9 of them, he lead the league in Receiving TDs.
It just so happens that Hutson was also the Packers’ Kicker for many of these years. @Captain Dave Poulin We’ll be using him as an offensive super sub, but he fits our profile exactly of what we want out of a Kicker and as such would like to list him there.
@ajgoal Do things. Two of them.

Yeah but then Aaron Donald can't play Safety if I want from time to time. You know, switch it up and all that.

Nothing in the rules says he can't. You have another IDL that fills the position. That's the only requirement.
Zone Blitzes are a thing. DL are asked to cover sometimes. Hell, Robert Saleh and others have a DL drop into coverage without blitzing anyone else at times.
Just putting a reminder taglet for @ajgoal in here - I don't want anyone to miss picks if possible.

I'm really big on ignoring clearly better picks to take guys I have some overwrought preference for.
This tends to be why I fail at fantasy sports too.

Jojo is building an electric factory and you're building a Beef factory. Nothing wrong with that.
I've drafted five Rams, three Ducks, a physical freak, and Jojo's "favorite" player.
