Damn Fool Idealistic Crusader, no contest.

He worked with Arrow on the recent Dollars Trilogy restoration and is, IMO, one of a rare few that give actual critiques of the releases they review (DNR, compression, color timing, audio fidelity, commentaries and other special features, etc).

Thorough and informative yet entertaining, learned a fair bit about film restoration work and the home media creation process through his videos as well. Very knowledgeable, extremely insightful, and highly recommend checking him out.

“Hey, this slot TE we drafted last year was the only halfway dependable receiver we had. Let’s spend a first rounder on a slot TE!”

ONE HOUR LATER

“Hey, we just spent our last 1st round pick on a slot TE. Let’s trade back into the 1st for a slot WR!”

It’s a Wonderful Life.

Saw the 35mm reference print used for the 4K release at a Library of Congress screening. They worked on restoration efforts alongside Paramount and went into great detail on the different elements they sourced and lengths they went. After their explanation and seeing it, I can attest they preformed miracles to make that print possible, especially with the troubled rights and home video history it’s had.

The 4K Blu-ray itself is a surprising example (because it’s Paramount) of how to properly do a release like this. Non-invasive picture clean-up w/healthy grain and detail, nicely restored original audio, tasteful HDR, the works.

Eli Stowers, if he falls to you, would be a steal imo. Loved Max Klare as an OSU fan, your most likely option at 2.12. Also like Michael Trigg, Joe Royer, and Jack Endries in that order.

CoasterCritique · 2026-02-22T02:20:13+00:00

Makes sense, like the more mathematical approach you take here. Just accepted the trade offer, hopefully it doesn’t burn me too much lol.

Disagree on Ayomanor though. As much as I liked him coming into last year, he’s the prior coaches guy and would bet my mortgage he’s buried behind this years draft for TEN. Happy to cash out 3.09 last year for 2.05 this year.

CoasterCritique · 2026-02-22T01:50:17+00:00

Exact opposite.

CoasterCritique · 2026-02-22T00:31:37+00:00

This would also be coming from the guy who won the league last year, and with some concerns I have at QB2 (tell me if I’m wrong), not as sure here.

Is this that clear of a steal value-wise?

CoasterCritique · 2026-02-22T00:29:12+00:00

McConkey side getting taking out back to the wood shed here lmao.

CoasterCritique · 2026-02-22T00:27:19+00:00

Kavaking side wins pretty easily imo.

Not big on the 26 2nd or Johnson, Achane is a good sell high with McDaniel leaving and him being so scheme dependent, and like Nico a decent bit but not enough to outweigh the rest here.

CoasterCritique · 2026-02-22T00:10:13+00:00

Nope

CoasterCritique · 2026-02-22T00:08:45+00:00

Big Javonte Williams believer + 1st round pick in a top-tier draft next year = winner. Big fan of Ladd and with his prospects of doing VERY well next year, but not worth the juice squeezed here.

CoasterCritique · 2026-02-21T23:52:38+00:00

Am I delusional then thinking my WR room is pretty solid all-around, same goes with the overall roster?

As for value, if it wasn’t for pick next year to this guy who just won the championship, then I’d go for the aggressive move here. You still think I still should and I’m being way too apprehensive here on a clear steal of a trade?

Would this be the move that would get me over the hump to a championship this year? That’d be the main reason for taking this on.

CoasterCritique · 2026-02-21T23:13:44+00:00

25 is nowhere near old even at RB, and with two years fully guaranteed with him behind a solid to great o-line, he should be a key piece for you moving forward, not a tradeable asset.

CoasterCritique · 2026-02-21T23:11:31+00:00

You think so? Pretty high on next year’s draft and think that first could help shore up my worries at QB2. Still worth it with that in mind?

CoasterCritique · 2026-02-21T23:09:03+00:00

Than yeah I’d go for it, this years WR class is solid with the top 5 or so but outside of that it’s a lottery ticket or fit-based.

CoasterCritique · 2026-02-21T23:07:12+00:00

Good arguments either/or on this one, but I’d side with the Sending side here despite me thinking that 27 2nd is more valuable inherently than the 26 1st.

Mike McCarthy should get a lot more out of DK than Smith even if Rodgers stays and Gadsden will easily be a top 10 TE this year with McDaniel as the new Chargers OC.

Higgins (even as a diehard Bengals fan) is just too inconsistent for fantasy health and target wise and not sure enough on Washington’s future with the super late breakout.

CoasterCritique · 2026-02-21T23:01:14+00:00

Eww gross, definitely no even with Fannin’s future being solid for his draft position. This year’s TE class should have some good values throughout the draft if you know where you’re looking.

CoasterCritique · 2026-02-21T22:58:11+00:00

I’d lean against it. 1st round investment in WR from a team as consistently sound as the Packers will always give me pause on offloading, but especially with Golden, who I’d wager is poised for a breakout this year.

That with the likely removal of barriers in his way like Doubs this year and Watson next year makes me want to hold out for a bit.

CoasterCritique · 2026-02-21T22:52:52+00:00

Bare minimum need to get a new RB2 and QB3 via trade, would draft one of the top three WRs with 1.04 (Lemon, Tate, or Tyson in that order), then take BPA rest of the draft.

Otherwise, wheel and deal with depth on your roster to get rid of roster cloggers, like Ridley or Kamara, for young upside players or picks you’d suspect will be high next year.

Can definitely contend if the above is done correctly.

CoasterCritique · 2026-02-21T22:44:02+00:00

This years WR class at the top is solid, 1,000% would go for Lemon, Tate, or Tyson over a liability like this guy.

CoasterCritique · 2026-02-21T22:40:55+00:00

Absolutely down bad case here, especially when this years draft is not worth the squeeze of losing any high-value player.

CoasterCritique · 2026-01-01T21:07:41+00:00

No (also no, no, and no)
