All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host.
Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

11. CB Leodis McKelvin — Bills
Prediction: Bust
The thing that scares me with him is his confidence. I saw him struggle at times in Mobile, and you could tell he didn’t like being the focus of attention. I don’t see him ever becoming the lockdown corner that Nate Clements became in Buffalo, but I do think McKelvin will be an excellent returner. That said, only Devin Hester is a good-enough returner to justify this high a pick.

~The Answer
Except Hester wasn't taken in the first round. And the best returner in football wasn't even drafted.
How to write an article without doing any work:
1. Take out your post- draft review article.
2. Change the title from "Draft Report Card" to "First Round Boom or Bust"
3. Replace draft grades B or higher with "Boom"
4. Replace draft grades of C+ or lower with "Bust"
5. Submit "new" article.
Nothing about any of these picks has changed since the draft, so all this guy is doing is regurgitating pre-draft and post-draft write ups on these players. Lazy.
OK, and now he descends becasue he is confident? I don't follow.
Im saying that since he rose so far so fast, there is very likely to be negative thoughts about him. Your 1st post indicated that because he was the top ranked CB it didn't make sense that he would be a Bust guy, but given his rise, he's a very likely candidate for such an award along with DRC.
COMING SOON...

OK, I hear ya. But does it make sense that the people that had him ranked as the best CB in the draft are now predicting he will be a bust before an NFL snap?
Or do you think that by the very nature of the article, they have to predict someone, so they might as well predict someone who rasied fast? In that case, why isn't Mayo at the top of the bust list?
Also, why does DRC get "boom", considering he rose even faster?
