Alright, the quotes are getting embedded like Tatts at a Live Mafia sleepover.
Anyway. This applies to an answer to one of Tatts posts and continues talking about Antonio Brown to Tapps.

You two just made me feel a lot better although I had a sneaky feeling he'd have an awesome year. Before drafting begun I was dead set about my wr wr wr qb first 4 picks. I'm thinking any of the remaining qbs can do a job.
There's so much talent further down the draft this year. Torrey smith for example did me good last but he's not even projected that well.
What I didn't realise last year was how the lower picks will affect the season.
Anyway I have no one else to talk to about NFL as no one I know watches it.
Focusing on WRs with my early picks worked out well for me last year. Especially Antonio Brown.
Last year,A. Brown should have been the highest ranking WR on the board . I couldn't believe I was able to grab both him and Jordy Nelson with my 2nd and 3rd picks. I'd picked Adrian Peterson in round one so I thought I was destined for a win. Then the Adrian Peterson thing blew up in my face , but I bet Peterson puts up 2200 yards this year just because he's pissed off over last year and has more to prove than anyone.
Dude is going to stud it up and show the Vikings what they missed out on. I'd have taken him at 6, not that there was any chance he would have still been there. KL made a great pick there.
But I digress. I was talking about how last year everyone should have realised just how good AB was and how high on the draft he should have been.
Have you guys seen that clip with...........damn.....who's the guy talking about Antonio Brown.
Anyway, he starts off by mimicking his calls to Brown, and I'll put Antonio Brown's, who I'll call AB, answers in quotes.
So He calls AB and is like, Yo AB, what you doin'? "Working out." What time is it "6am"
Another call, Yo AB what you doin'? "Working out."What time is it "Noon"
Another ring, AB man, what you doin'? "Working out." What time is it "Midnight."
I can't for the life of me recall who it was saying this but it's during those ESPN shows the greatest players 100 to 1 based on the players votes themselves and the previous seasons results. Antonio Brown is THE hardest working WR in the NFL.
AB showed in 2013 that he was a future stud of studs. Highlights of his catches, his yards after catch, his everything, the dude had it all, but the Steelers also had Emmanuel Sanders. Yeah, yall know that guy and what he did at Denver. As SOON as Sanders was fine and there was no immediate stud pick up, (pls let me toot my own horn here, because I was wrong just as much about other players as I was right), but with no Sanders, I KNEW AB blows it up in 2014.
With that said, Matavius Bryant in middle round could be one of the best picks given round picked. I just don't know what Marcus Wheaton will do, but Bryant is the better athlete hands down. I would have taken him next round myself, and almost this latest round , but I'm working from a very odd strategy.
Last year, Jordy Nelson was a given for a top 5 WR, IMO, so me thinking I had Peterson at RB, Brown and Jordy at WR, Martellus Bennett at TE who did amazing too, and Frank Gore running with Peterson, and I thought I had a good chance.
I finished 2nd place regular season, and first over all, and I owe it to grabbing Justin Forsett from wire.
RG3 as QB was an obvious bust, but Kapaernick actually pulled through in wins over Andrew Luck and Payton Manning for the Tropjy.
Just been reading threads and I realized I wasn't being vocal at all.
I actually feel like talking about this years picks so far, and will do so.
