Do you make any picks for personal or non analytical reasons?

Are there certain players that, no matter how good they may be, you won't have them on your team?

I will not have Cam Newton on my team. Ever. And for some reason, I try to draft a NY Giant every year. Outside of the Saints I enjoy watching the Giants most. Interested to see if others do this same thing

Hate picking Saints.

Just makes a loss double miserable.

I've taken Brees before and it worked out well. But I only took him because he fell a few spots and he was far and away the best qb on the board.

But I was miserable watching saints games. They lose but Drew goes apeshit because he is coming from behind.

The one time I owned AP stock in the last decade, he beat his kid and got suspended. I"ll never own him again.

I'm in a 10 man and I'm going to try to draft a lot of Bama players since I have the #2 pick.

I think I can get Julio, Ingram, & Amari to start my draft and will be able to get Henry and Yeldon late. If I thought any of these guys were being drafted way above their ADP, I wouldn't take them, but I think the top 3 will have good seasons. Yeldon might be the only pick I'll be wasting since I really like Ivory more.

Yes, every single person on this board has some subjectivity built into their draft board. Sometimes it's as overt as OP's example or something much more subtle, such as the "eye test"

I used to hold grudges a lot longer when I was younger. But, frick it, if a dude can help me win it all I'll pick him. I hate Cam, but I got him this year.

Now if it comes down to two average players like Vincent Jackson or Joe Blow, frick Vincent Jackson.

Won't touch Crowell because I think he is a huge POS.
