Yeah Javonte Williams looks good. I would have loved to see Travis Etienne in the Shanahan-Turner scheme so lets see if Trey Sermon can replicate that. We've gone very big and physical in this draft. Big mobile QB, massive OG, large physical RB... considering how physical Juice, Kittle and Deebo play I think we could be a slightly bruising team this year. Also Quincy Roche is my round 5 want

A lot of teams seem to have had good drafts to be fair. Maybe there'll be fewer late-round steals

George Kittle was only seen as a blocker when we drafted him because he loves blocking and he's very very good at it. He's also a very good receiving tight end also but never really had the opportunity to showcase either in college. I'd wait and see

Some decent WRs left. I hope we go WR or Edge. More rumours about Sherman coming back but if that's unfounded then I'd like us to grab some depth at CB so Dontae Johnson never sees the light of day at Levi's again

Think we reached a bit for Aaron Banks but a big Guard isn't to be sniffed at. I like Trey Sermon but didn't feel RB was a huge need on the 3rd. Ambry Thomas maybe a little over drafted but definitely a position of need. 3 5th round picks though which is where we shine...

Horn is a good CB at least. If we were at 12 and didn't need to address QB I'd have been wanting him. South Carolina suck but they produce at least one star every year. We've got Kinlaw and Deebo Samuel from them the last couple of years. End of the day if Darnold bombs it you'll be in a good position to address QB next season and you've got a top young CB to deal with the NFC South wide threats. (Also I only realised recently that he's Joe Horn's kid)

Looking forward to seeing Fred Warner going up against Pitts over the years. 3rd and 5th rounds are usually where the Niners do their best business (5th especially) so I'm interested to see what players are still around there. I kinda want Ojulari as I really liked what I saw of him and surprised he didn't go 1st round

I think Fields will be fine with the Bears but if he bombs surely Nagy/Pace are gonzo too. Two big trade-ups for QBs in 4 years

You've got to admire the Falcons' dogged refusal to address their woeful defence though

They're surely just trying to piss off Rodgers. Massive reach even late first with better CBs on the board too

Looking forward to the 2nd round. Think 49ers go CB. Plenty of talent available left today

So Trey Lance it is. Big risk/reward but it's a lot of faith put in him. Almost certain now Jimmy G stays this year. At least it's not Mac ******** Jones

Also my KD last season after my account was stolen was at 0.92 KD and 43% Gulag win rate... season 3 is as it stands is 1.53 KD and 65% Gulag win rate. So I feel like the changes have worked in my favour

'New' map is a load better. I've been panning it for months slagging off the re-skin as a cop out. Which it still kinda is but the refresh of Verdansk is super impressive and a lot brighter and less campy. 1) Factory is a great addition, filling the space between Hangars and Super and making it feel a bit like the Mialstor Tank Factory from the MP. 2) Stadium change is HUGE. Far less campy where youd have a team of sweats mid-level camping the entire area around it unable to be hit by airstrikes strikes 3) Dam being reworked into Summit meaning fewer campers on there shooting down - annoyingly this does mean they've switched to Duga at Array for the camping but it's far easier to hit and airstrike people on top of that 4) More buildings being added in Boneyard and Farmland which helps with cover when moving 5) Fairly sure ATC has been made a little shorter? Feels less camped there 6) Gulag a lot more adventurous with more of a mix of guns and melee weapons and more areas to move "unseen". 7) Crossing between Stadium and Farmland now is being built so far more cover for the crossing there which means less helpful for those camping whoppers at Stadium! 8 ) Big building gone from back of quarry. Halle-****-lujah. One of the worst buildings to try and push and is always camped by snipers 9) Buy stations moved (looking straight at you Lumber!) Making it a little more difficult for buy station campers to camp. All in all good changes!

Seen some people pushing the Thunderbolts theory re: JLD approaching cap Cap.

Tony Leung! **** yeah!!! Sold. Looks good to me. Bill Pope is heavily involved so not worried at all about the stunts and fighting stuff. I really liked the music from the trailer too. Hope some of that gets incorporated into the score/soundtrack.

Just came to post the news about Helen McCrory. Another iconic performer gone. Horrible.

It sounds a LOT but you get drawn into it and it flies by.

He's very good. I have it on in the car on the way to and from work. First one on there was like 3 hrs 40 and I'm on the 2nd which is over 4 hrs. He seems pretty balanced and enthusiastic and he's engaging as hell. Would definitely recommend. Think the rest of his podcasts are about various historical events but this Achaemenid one(s) is called King of Kings

Thanks Mike. I've reposted in there so as not to clog this up. My, what a nice day it is today

I've been listening to a podcast recently that I'd only just heard of but have instantly fallen deeply into love for - Dan Carlin's Hardcore History. Listening to his podcasts atm on the Achaemenid Empire. Absolutely **** hooked

<podcast comment deleted> Insert platitudes about what a nice day it is

THAT is my type of fact. I knew Jefferson died on the 4th of July but I didn't know Adams did. I'd love to find out more of these "died on the same day" connections. There was the whole Kennedy/Lincoln assassination similarities thing I remember

Quite telling Shanahan is in 3 of these. Interesting to see Matt Nagy and Josh McDaniels too. If 49ers don't get Fields at 3 I'd not be shocked if the Pats sent a truckload of picks to Atlanta
