Have to wonder if Atlanta is trying to accommodate Julio by sending him to a contender. Going to Jacksonville would feel like a total waste to him, I'm sure.

I'm just a little curious if they were this committed to trading him, and if they actually had suitors where this was a real thing, if the idea to take Chase over Pitts was ever considered at #4. I think Ridley is good enough to be a #1 on his own, so it can definitely still work with him and...

Makes sense he got less than Gostisbehere.

A lot of noise about the Falcons actually trading Julio before camp.

Oshie with the hat trick for his dad. Need 2 more regulation wins to get 1st in the division.

Wow. This is crazy. Especially when you think how well overall their rebuild had been going. Everyone is looking at that team and just thinking how good they are going to be next year.

I liked that we took a shot on him where we got him, but he's probably a year further out than McMichael is.

That would cure any cap concerns, but leave a massive hole at center. Eller's a very good 3C, and can fill in in the top 6 in small stretches, but he wouldn't be good enough to hold it down full time. McMichael isn't nearly ready to just move up next year. We'd be fucked.

In actual serious news, this isn't good. If it's obvious we're trying to move him, zero chance we get anything close to what his normal value would be.

Man, Galaxy Quest was so good, but I don't think they can pull off a series at this point. Don't want the original to be tainted, either. Casting so flawless for that movie.

Feel how you want to feel about it. He got penalized appropriately for what happened. It's become a literal circus.

Yeah, I'm fine with them fining him, he got something like 14 minutes in penalties for all that, deserved. People talking about attempted murder are smoking the good shit, though. Whole scrum started because a couple caps thought the one Ranger kicked out with his skates at our goalie after...

Not sure what Panarin was doing trying to go all MMA with a choke submission on a guy that much bigger than him. Almost had it locked in I guess. One of the less hot takes about it

That's another reason to love Yoshi P, he pretty much acknowledges people will have lulls in playing and expects it. Such is the life of the MMO content cycle these days.

Offense is better assuming good health with Aiyuk and Deebo to go along with Kittle, though. Plus Shanahan will get that running game working no matter how much he's pissing off fantasy managers running a committee.

Not happy to see Ovechkin take basically one shift then leave again. Worried about him for playoffs. Rags will be a handful next year, sucks for them they were stuck in this division they'd be a playoff team in any other one. Thanks Philly for beating the Pens so bad.

The fact that people will be able to get him mid to late 2nd round in fantasy is going to be amazing.

Think the other two teams should be looked at are the 49ers back healthy, assuming either Lance could eventually be decent this year at QB, or more likely...Jimmy G actually stays healthy. Them and the Rams, who with Stafford over Goff at QB and their defense should be a better team.

Granted, there's some raid utility and such built in to some of those difference. Not all, obviously, as we know they're shit at balancing classes/specs. But that's part of the point, too. Considering all that, why should the players also then have to worry about another ~5% from yet another...

Tom Brady said Julian Edelman isn't retired, jokes former teammate is 'too scared' to leave Patriots for Bucs

And @Mist just to qualify, if any of them are coming close to ~5% difference overall, I think that's pretty significant and not balanced very well. If they were all within like ~2% of each other, I don't think we'd see such a heavy lean towards a single covenant choice by a particular spec.

Soulbinds are only part of the equation, though, the actual abilities makes up a good chunk of the overall dps profile. I don't think my perceptions are off, at all. Last time I looked, the split for Marksman Hunters was like ~80% Night Fae, ~15% Kyrian, and only ~5% combined between Venthyr...

And then re-sign Aaron Jones after last year to big money deal. Not to say Dillon isn't good or anything btw, or helped contribute some last year...but as far as helping them win a title last season they virtually wasted their first 2 picks.

I'll give an example from when I was still playing (I quit before 9.0.5). Marksman Hunter Night Fae v. Necrolord. Did they balance these better? For both single target and AoE situations?

With regards to what? Did they suddenly manage to balance them for every spec and I missed it? Before I quit, there were many specs where 1 or 2 vastly outperformed the rest

Yeah wtf? It's not like they traded up to 26 ten picks prior to it, they already knew those WR's were gone. They could have literally stood pat at #31 and take Tee Higgins, Michael Pittman, Chase Claypool (among others)

"a lot more content" is relative...If I was still playing, I wouldn't want to have to collect another 1k anima 3 more times over or save 20 more souls 3 more times for the other 3 covenents each week. Definitely wouldn't want to have to farm up thousands and thousands more total anima to...

Are talking overall number of players in each covenant, or % of certain specs that mostly go exactly to whichever covenant is optimal for them?

I've actually gotten past his shitty stint with the Caps and him being a former Penguins superstar to love the guy, he's a beast.

The problem is it often isn't just 1% dps. The major issue with covenants is that so many different combinations of cov/spec don't even come close to being competitive with the optimal. That coupled with the whole "choice matters because a lot of players don't care about optimal and just...

I didn't even think about the fact that Houston's very first pick was their 3rd, and they took Mills with that pick. If that doesn't tell you most people don't expect Watson to play this year, not sure what would.

Oh it's highly likely some of the timed stuff like 40's and agility drills might be juiced a little. But this was also a super deep OT for a reason, too. Lot of big guys in this class that just need some good coaching to refine technique.

I don't even think Jarry was tested all that much, other than one flurry at end of the 2nd period. Guys had chances, they just put weak shots on net most of the time. Only goals Samsonov gave up were two breakaways to Rust and a deflection in off a skate.

Ugly game. Guys couldn't finish chances to save their life.

Or they could just stop doing any borrowed power.

No Ovechkin and no Carlson again. Feels bad man.

Wtf. We trade the Eagles a 2022 5th to get a 6th and another 7th, and we use the 6th on the 2nd Long Snapper off the board...letting the Chiefs get a steal in Trey Smith.

Damn, McGrone was a guy I wanted us to double dip at LB for. Pats snap him up.

Rivera seems to be going big trying to get faster all over the field and looking for athletes that are coachable.
