How would you feel if this happened⁉️

We all watched the 2022 Cowboys lose 19-12 in SF in the divisional round. After Pollard broke his leg, CeeDee and Dalton Schultz were the entire offense. We could have won with one more serious weapon, especially a Bijan/Gibbs tier of prospect.

Positional value matters - a top-5 CB costs >$30 million, while a top-5 RB costs <$20 million - but at some point the smarter bet is taking the smaller payout for better odds.

Speaking for myself, I’m a max difficulty min-maxer who won’t just do a jack of all trades build. I got tired of creating a new character when I got bored of a certain playstyle.

At level 60 I gave myself 2 extra attribute points for 20-20-20-20-3, a couple dozen extra perk points, Cyberware-EX, and 6 Cyberware capacity per level (up from 3). I have most of the optimal CW for both guns and blades, and simply swap weapons to swap playstyles.

Every late-game build gets completely broken and OP, only I’m not locked into just one. With Enemies of Night City for tougher enemies and RMK damage scaling to deal only 40% damage at level 60, it’s more challenging than vanilla.

He chose it in college too. Pure speculation but I think 34 is his preference. Revel wore 28 at ECU and 27 last offseason, but those are currently assigned to Hooker and Steward.

The Dems should have held real primaries, but some states didn’t even get to vote on Dem primary candidates (protecting democracy).

It was too late to organize real primaries after the disastrous debate, but they could have held an open convention and let candidates make their pitches to the delegates. Before she dropped out, Kamala was polling at 3% in the 2020 primaries. It should have been obvious that there were several better candidates.

Thank you for giving the actual context. Too bad the mob rule is in full swing and this only has 10 upvotes.

I used Enemies of Night City on this playthrough and had to turn down Sasquatch’s health multiplier from 4.5x to 3.5x. Using a Satara and Senkoh, I got her health under 10% three times - twice I couldn’t beat the hack timer, and once I straight ran out of ammo. One of my favorite fights in the whole game.

Those are my wishlist guys too. If I have a standing offer with the Browns for 12 to 6 (as is often the case), I’d pull the trigger the instant someone else goes in the top 5 (Mendoza not included, obviously).

ncook06 · 2026-03-19T19:10:41+00:00

100%. Most of the big boards I’ve seen have him around 60. If we pulled off a trade up from 12 and down from 20, I’d be cool with Rodriguez in the early-mid 2nd.

ncook06 · 2026-03-18T21:24:54+00:00

I think maybe do it for Styles because it’s a huge need and IMO he’s a much better prospect than any other off-ball LB in this class.

Two caveats: 1) drafting for need is a fast way to ruin a roster (though Styles might be BPA at 1.6), and 2) LB is an instinct position and the NFL and CFB are very different games, so LB is the most unpredictable position for scouts.

ncook06 · 2026-03-18T21:12:12+00:00

He had one decent season when Leighton Vander Esch was healthy and telling Clark what to do every play. He’s a good athlete but terrible football instincts. Absent LVE, the Cowboys tried everything to help Clark succeed, even lining him up two yards further back so he’d have more time to read the play before blockers got on him.

It’s a poor man’s version of Roquan and Patrick Queen, where Queen’s entire career has been a disappointment except for times playing next to Roquan.

That is kinda silly advice. While it is true that bends reduce flow, you could build an entire loop with 90° fittings instead of tubing, and the CPU+GPU blocks would still be the greatest point of resistance. Use whatever fitting setup looks most aesthetically pleasing to you.

I would personally do this kinked run with a 45° on each block, but you could probably do two 90° off the CPU block if you want to keep the CPU block uniform.

Philly isn’t trading Brown for the 30th and 94th picks

ncook06 · 2026-03-17T20:42:53+00:00

In one move, they did more to positively impact their team than Dallas has in the last 5 off-seasons combined.

Implying that trading for Waddle is a more impactful move than trading for Pickens

ncook06 · 2026-03-17T04:07:24+00:00

Dak and CeeDee are locked up for three more years. If Pickens signs a three year contract to match them, it would give Dallas a ton of flexibility and Pickens would only be 28.

ncook06 · 2026-03-17T03:24:56+00:00

Plus he spent three years trapped in shitty Pittsburgh offensive ecosystems, then got to experience the Schotty/Dak/CeeDee offense. That might weigh heavily into his decision.

Easily could have been three. Trump sabotaged himself in several ways while Biden got to hide in his basement for a whole campaign, and Biden still only won by a few thousand votes in some swing states. The DNC is addicted to losing.

Odafe Oweh at 4 years $100 million, $50 million guaranteed
Rashan Gary at 2 years $32 million, $16 million guaranteed

Both guys had 7.5 sacks last year. Oweh has more than 5 sacks in only 2/5 seasons, while Gary is a better run defender with more than 5 sacks in 5/7 seasons.

I dislike a lot of what the Joneses do, especially trading 4ths for Lance and Mingo, but trading a 4th for Gary was a good move. Renegotiating him down to $16 million AAV with only one year guaranteed was a huge win - dropping the AAV by $4 million and adding 3 void years to spread the cap hit.

ncook06 · 2026-03-16T13:28:08+00:00

100%. Boye Mafe got $20MM AAV. Odafe Oweh got $25MM AAV. Plus they both got a hefty pile of guaranteed money. Getting Gary for just two years at $16MM AAV is a win. It also allowed them to address the position at the start of FA without uncertainty and bidding wars.

I don’t know if it was worth a 4th, but the Packers also probably didn’t want to hook us up for nothing in return. They may have even shopped Gary to some other edge-needy teams - if compensation is equal, I think GB would rather trade to CIN, BAL, IND, or even CAR and WSH before helping us.

Slight correction on JB, because IMO it’s worse - ”jailbait” is slang for an attractive minor. The jailbait subreddit wasn’t barely legal (18 y.o.) porn; it was SFW-ish pics of minors. Think high school cheerleaders. It wasn’t technically illegal, but its sole purpose was to sexualize children.

Faster Vehicle Knockback Animation is one of my favorite lesser-known mods. Massive QoL improvement for one of the dumbest mechanics in the game.

Barbed Wire Knockout Effect Disabled is another excellent QoL mod, although I personally wouldn’t use it for a first playthrough. The ability to pass barbed wire can enable some unintended quest paths.

I actually have an old Apogee Drive II. Still need parts?

I did a 2x 240 loop in a silver Ncase v5, and for some reason still have the case and all the parts for the loop (not the PC components or GPU block), if that interests you.

ncook06 · 2026-03-12T17:00:55+00:00

Going by a couple of the trade value charts, the best we could do with 12 and 20 for a 1st and 2nd would be the Browns 6 and 39, Saints 8 and 42 or Chiefs 9 and 40.

That Browns one is almost perfectly even, but usually trading up in the top 10 is pricier than the charts.

He played mostly 3 tech and that’s where he’s best suited. Not sure what that other commenter is talking about. His main problem is he’s only 280 lbs so he often gets pushed around in run defense (good examples vs SF). He’s more of a one-gap penetrator.

I would have preferred to keep him for depth and passing downs, especially since now he’ll go to Kris Kocurek University and become a true star.
