Donnie's Dragons select WR Elroy ?Crazy Legs? Hirsch, Los Angeles Rams- The first great playmaking WR. He averaged 18.2 ypc over his career. He played a "flanker" position and carried the ball about 200 times in his career as well. A great kick return guy. His blazing speed led to a 1,495 yard, 17 TD season (remember this is when they played 12 games). One of the best deep threats in NFL history and will give Elway a target to hit deep.
This was the hardest pick I had to make in this draft because I could have gone with 3 or 4 different positions all having 3 or 4 players of about equal ability... but I decided to go with the best kicker in the history of the game. K Gary Anderson, Pittsburgh Steelers The NFL's all time leader in points and field goals made. The most consistent kicker in the history of the game. The first kicker to ever have a "perfect" season (made all FGs and PAs).
Its definitely debatable as to who was the best kicker ever. There are a few guys that you could easily make a debate for
Yes, but IMO Gary Anderson is the best. I also think there's a high chance that the guy I would have taken falls so let's see how things go...
FS Merton Hanks, will team up nicely and be the lightning to Atwater's Thunder, much like he was for Tim McDonald

Okay, this one was kinda tough. I knew I wanted to draft a kicker, but you could make an argument for quite a few kickers as "the best ever." I believe its Morten Anderson, my next pick... Over 30 career game winning kicks and 2nd on the NFL all time scoring list.
I select Antonio Gates, TE, San Diego Chargers. Whether it's early for him or not, he has been absolutely dominant thusfar in his career and he has any amazing skillset.
I will take G Mike Michalske. One of those two-way performers from the 20's and 30's. All-NFL 7 times and the first guard to be elected into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
