With the 19th overall pick, BF & the BFFs are extremely proud to select the most important songwriter of all time, and Great American Poet:
Bob Dylan
BF & the BFFs are shocked Dylan was still available so late in the first round, and are absolutely giddy to be building around the man who is both our favorite all-time musician, and one of the seminal 20th century cultural icons.
We will tentatively place Dylan in the songwriter category, with the option of switching him to Male Singer at a later time.

Bob Dylan's influence on popular music is incalculable. As a songwriter, he pioneered several different schools of pop songwriting, from confessional singer/songwriter to winding, hallucinatory, stream-of-conscious narratives. As a vocalist, he broke down the notions that in order to perform, a singer had to have a conventionally good voice, thereby redefining the role of vocalist in popular music. As a musician, he sparked several genres of pop music, including electrified folk-rock and country-rock. And that just touches on the tip of his achievements.
