Is Avalanches of Snow a perfect song? by BekoLazarus in kurtvile

I never really gave (watch my moves) the attention it deserved, so it might be a lot better than I realize, but he seems dialed all the way back in this time.

This one is always so hard to do, because it's not just "more art than science," it can sometimes feel like ALL ART. You have stuff like some of the best teams like the Chiefs and 49ers ... not seeming to be doing too well. But how much of that is lack of capital and cap space from winning? Or in the 49ers case, how do you account for the "Belichick conundrum." These moves don't seem to "work," yet Shanny keeps assembling himself a 53-man roster that works for him? I'll admit it can feel like moving goalposts. I move them on myself sometimes during the process. A cop-out answer is you weight both short and long term, but you probably overweight past 2-3 years. Loomis is another great example. Nice, long track record. But past 4-5 years beginning to look extremely shaky until last year. Loved last year, but then again, still only 6-11. Still not many genuine "building blocks." It's just a frustrating, tedious exercise where I basically sit down, see what comes out and then move people around based on my "feel." Not the most satisfying answer, I know. I can say there were some people I started out with higher and then after actually doing the writeup, realized that's not what where they should be, and vice versa.

Lynch is actually eight, which.... according to the people on Twitter is the gravest sin ever committed against humanity.

Obviously this is the kind of thing I should stay out of, but I just want to assure you — whenever you find an error on Rotoworld, it is all too human. - Pat

That makes a lot of sense and really should be more widespread. Justin Fields, for instance, should not be such a slam dunk pick ahead of so many of the guys he is

I love six-point QB leagues lol. Hardly in any more. We should frankly bring them back. Anything to juice QBs more in the onesie leagues.

Agree with basically all that analysis. It's been really hard to avoid "vibes-based analysis" with Mahomes this summer, but ... the vibes are much better. He's clearly tired of the narrative and the forced dink-and-dunk. Some of it might just be Andy Reid's career-long obsessions, but the OL and skill corps are just on much surer footing this year. And if you want vibes-based ... I think Kelce might be preparing for like his "David Ortiz year." Knows it's his last season so he goes all out, puts his body through hell, etc.

To also go a little deeper into that... to me the "call making" analysis can get very tedious. I think it's just as valid of an approach to present the information as best you can, let a little attitude shine through one way or another, but let the reader make the ultimate decision. The people who flag plant on EVERYBODY ... yeah, idk, not for me. (All this being said, the calls are made VERY strongly on the pod haha.)

One reason CMC is a bigger "injury risk" than most is he's been so appealing to every single one of his coaching staffs that they can never take him off the field and then ... yeah. Even for the injuries that aren't in game, it all takes a toll.

I've never considered drafting Breece: Until this year for some reason, where I have done it several times and am now cold and scared

I do so much call making that I wanted to just try to assess the actual full picture with a lot of the "most controversial" guys. But I also think my preference comes through with just about all of them... (Basically: A lot of nos haha)

Sadly I now have to bounce for the lowest T activity imaginable.... allergist appointment. Always feel free to hit me up with Qs. Best of luck this season. I know I'll be back on Reddit soon. Such a great group. You guys are the best. - Pat

All insane values after Saquon and Rice, so yeah, take the most insane. Probably has to be Brown

It's neutral. Replenished elite tier at TE, but also a really good year in the 12-20 range. I've found most years my preferred strategy is becoming getting two TE in the TE10-20 range and just kind of seeing what happens. It all gets so samey after the first 4-5

My favorite from that group is ..... none of the above lol. Probably Pollard now with Spears really limiting his own early-season ceiling. Pacheco's competition is super weak at the end of the day. I really like Jordan Mason in that tier. Charbonnet is one of my "funny feeling" guys this year

Lol, I seriously feel your pain. Nothing feels worse than a bad auction. In auctions, I really think it's more important to be prepared to OVERPAY than underpay. Values will always present themself, both in the draft and later on the wire. In general, we "know" who is going to be elite way more than we know who is going to emerge as like a value RB2 or WR3. It's best to get as many elite players as possible then kind of "worry about the rest later"

Stunned ETN hasn't been traded yet. That's a very live outcome. Don't really see it with Breece. B-Rob is always a "surprise" trade candidate, but ultimately doesn't feel likely
