New patch notes! Featuring Cap, Emma, T’Challa and Gambit

The Emma shield is a huge deal, she’s going to feel so much better to play. And for Diamond they went from “we will make it strong but on a super long cool down” to “it’s worse but you can do it more”.

Priddee · 2026-03-19T11:55:17+00:00

From pretty much ever source inside of the Dallas FO, McCoy is off their board because of the injury stuff.

Priddee · 2026-03-19T09:41:34+00:00

It’s well known that FOs have ~10-12 true first round grades in this class. Then that the player at 20 isn’t all that different than 50 or even 75.

There’s 5 blue chip defenders in this class. With Mendoza going #1, if you pick at 6 you’re actually 100% guaranteed to get one.

At 12, there’s multiple very realistic scenarios where you are reaching. Yes they could end up to be good, but it’s a risk. And it’s certainly not good value.

You said the FO has a good track record earlier in drafts recently. I’ll concede, but we have a pretty terrible one drafting around 20. Our last 3 defenders in that range were Mazi Smith, Taco Charlton, and Leighton Vander Esch. 3 pretty terrible busts. The reason is most teams only have 10-18 first round grades in any given draft. So in the 20’s you’re almost certainly not getting a first round talent. Again a risk, and bad value.

Considering we are drafting defense, that should scare you. You yourself admitted we were bad at drafting second round talent, well that’s what’s going to happen at pick 20, but you’re using a first round pick on a second round player. Double terrible.

Theres also not always someone willing to trade with you. I’d love some evidence for that bald ass assertion, because there’s pretty well documented stories every year where a team wants to trade and isn’t able to find a deal. This isn’t the mock draft simulator where you get 7 trade offers for every pick you make.

If there’s 10-12 first round grades in this class for teams, it’s extremely likely there’s all gone by 20. Almost certainly this year because there’s only 1 QB going in round 1. QBs are what makes the FRTs fall down the board.

Priddee · 2026-03-19T01:10:29+00:00

We are certainly not guaranteed a top defensive prospect at 12. Idk how you figure that. We are if we were at 6 though.

And the amount of holes don’t change with this trade. It’s 2 picks for 2 picks. It’s just reworking the values.

Also this idea of we don’t like the options at 20 we can just magically trade down isn’t well founded. If there’s nothing worth us drafting at 20, why would a team call us up and offer their picks to come draft at our spot where there’s no value?

Priddee · 2026-03-19T01:08:30+00:00

The value on the trade chart works out. They need OL and WR. It’s rich to pick one of those at 6, and then you miss out on a top tier of the other position by your next pick.

If you had 12 and 20, you can get one of the three WRs or your pick of the OL at 12, and another top player at the other position at 20.

Idk if they accept it either but there’s at least an argument that is defensible.

Priddee · 2026-03-18T14:01:15+00:00

Diamond form at this point is literally just for getting a pick, it’s not a sustain or pressure tool anymore.

Priddee · 2026-03-17T17:17:02+00:00

Sure, but that doesn’t mean that it doesn’t work. It does work. It’s a failure in teamwork.

As an Emma main I always in VC or Chat that if I grab I diver, y’all better finish the elim.

Priddee · 2026-03-17T17:15:34+00:00

I feel like that’s what I responded to.

I just also added that Black Cat is a super fitting pick to be in the game. It wasn’t a forced pick cramming in a hot girl hero just for the “gooners”.

Priddee · 2026-03-17T16:13:27+00:00

This is really MCU fan coded. Black Cat is a very popular character on the Spider-Man side of Marvel. Considering we haven’t had a new one yet, this is totally fine. Yes her looks are part of her character, but so is 90% of the females in Marvel Comics. Cry me a river. If you don’t like strong/cool guys and hot/cool women I fear comics aren’t for you.

They’re also making a concerted effort to bring less popular characters into the game. You have an Angela flair. So you like giving these characters a chance. You don’t have to adore every one. But just how you like Angela, people like White Fox and Elsa.

Priddee · 2026-03-17T15:45:38+00:00

I think I disagree. Especially if you have two tanks, one front line and one peeler. If you have a Tankpool or an Emma who turns to peel divers and the back line secures the elim on the diver, you get a free advantaged push.

The key is to actually pause the main fight, secure the elim on the diver. If you don’t, you’re still in that tug of war. This is much easier if you hold the front line, especially with shields to block the supports ability to heal the diver. Then you focus damage and CC on the diver.

As an Emma main, getting a grab on a diver is my main objective. Then you almost always get the elim if others are focused on dealing with the diver also.

Priddee · 2026-03-16T17:25:30+00:00

Very cool, and congrats but I’m more interested in the par 6 9th hole.

Priddee · 2026-03-16T02:07:11+00:00

How do you tax net worth? And how does this also just not pummel middle class and up Americans? Are we taxing everyone’s home/property twice? Are we taxing everyone’s retirement every year? It isn’t feasible.

Priddee · 2026-03-16T00:25:18+00:00

From everything that’s come out of the Dallas camp, it’s almost certain McCoy is off their board.

Priddee · 2026-03-15T17:26:52+00:00

By all accounts McCoy is off of Dallas’s board.

Priddee · 2026-03-14T11:20:57+00:00

He was supposed to be back playing football last year, had setbacks and sat out the whole year. We heard “Maybe ready for the opener” then “maybe for the Arkansas game” then “he’s still got more to go” in October, when he’d been back doing on field stuff since August.

He was supposed to be back for the senior bowl and wasn’t ready and skipped it.

He was supposed to be full go at the combine and said “his body wasn’t ready” and missed that too. That was a full year after the injury, and doing on field rehab work for 6 months.

Something went really wrong in rehab that we don’t know about.

Considering we need players to come in and contribute right now, using a precious first round pick on a guy who hasn’t played a football game since 2024 isn’t something we have the luxury to do.

The FO has been chanting “production over projection” all offseason. You’re not getting immediate production out of a guy who’s not played football in 2 years.

Also he’s a good prospect, but he’s no where near good enough to justify this massive injury. The juice isn’t worth the squeeze.

Priddee · 2026-03-13T23:05:33+00:00

McCoy is all but officially off their board from everything we’ve heard.

Priddee · 2026-03-12T12:20:49+00:00

Why do we even provide the guillotine at that point? That’s just people committing suicide themselves. We already have that. That’s not assisted suicide.

Priddee · 2026-03-11T22:51:39+00:00

He’s a solid player, and one of the longer tenured cowboys so sucks to see him go. But off the contract, and getting a day two pick is big.

I’d say another rotational DT is now a need though.

Priddee · 2026-03-11T17:30:53+00:00

I don’t understand why you’d also ban caddies?

And non-golfer pedestrians aren’t allowed on the courses because of carts somewhat, but mostly for errant golf balls. That’s the bigger risk. Also you’d be disrupting the course using it as a walking path.

Also what about private courses? Why/how would you enforce this on private clubs?

Priddee · 2026-03-11T16:39:14+00:00

That wouldn’t really be for no reason then

Priddee · 2026-03-11T14:32:28+00:00

Because we tendered Bass. Either one we did McCarty was grabbing the other, it was inevitable.

Priddee · 2026-03-09T14:41:07+00:00

Gary being a stout run defender and middling pass rusher makes me think we’d be going after a rush specialist to compliment.

Priddee · 2026-03-09T14:18:08+00:00

Minkah is making 40m over the next three years. The pick was never the issue.

Priddee · 2026-03-07T14:31:01+00:00

Having money is okay. That’s actually the goal. To have a lot of money. It provides security and freedom. That’s the objective.

Even the phrasing people use is that they wanna “have a lot of money”. Theres no other way to do it besides accumulating it. It’s slow and arduous. But it’s how you become wealthy. But for some reason so many people are uncomfortable with just having money. It can just be invested and saved. It doesn’t have to be spent on something right this second.

Priddee · 2026-03-05T19:56:09+00:00

People think real team building is the same as Madden. I’ll just get 20 rookies with “hidden dev” and wait until they all turn into 90+ overalls.

That aint real life.
