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!
This is only a test
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

Don't expect a household name to be the new addition to the Buffalo Bills' personnel department in 2010.
It's the nature of the business that many top talent evaluators in the NFL are not well known outside league circles.
Yet the Bills will have a lot of qualified candidates to consider in the coming weeks as they work on overhauling their football operation.
The Bills are expected to start interviewing candidates to become either the new general manager or the new director of football operations sometime after Christmas.[/quote]
Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?
I'm a big fan of DeCosta. He may be a little young, but he has a great track record drafting in Baltimore (Flacco, Rice, Ngata, Oher most recently). And with the dinosaur mentality that exists around this team, a younger guy's point of view is exactly what this team needs

Not to mention Ogden, Ray Lewis, Suggs, Bouware, McCalister, Jamal Lewis, and Todd Heap (among others). Decosta has been there for all of those drafts.
You definitely can't argue w/many of Baltimore's top picks. (Boller was, by most accounts, a Billick pick - not a Newsome/Scout's pick). The biggest knock on Baltimore is that they've struggled to draft a top WR.

While I totally agree, I worry about the footnote I read in the article. The one about other assistants in Baltimore and how they did on their own.

He's only been with Baltimore since 2003, hasn't he?
I dont want either of the Chicago guys in Gabriel or DePaul. Chicago's drafts have been horrible. Im also DQ'ing Kuhcrich because one the chiefs have sucked for a while now, their drafts have been brutally bad and if Pioli doesn't want him, why would I?
So of the rest of the candidates Id rank them like this;
1. Eric DeCosta-Baltimore
2. Marc Roos-NYG
3. Jimmy Raye III-San Diego
4. Scott Studwell-Minnesota
5. Ron Whaley-Pitt
Raye III has the most experience because he's done all the roles of the GM with scouting, evals, FA's, etc. However I put a high premium on the draft and especially on Day 2 picks. Here are Ross's picks that have stood out over the past three drafts he's over seen as head of College Scouting.
07-
TE Kevin Boss
S Michael Johnson
RB Ahmad Bradhaw
08-
LB Jonathan Goff
09-
RB Andre Brown
These are DeCosta's picks in his drafts that he wasd head of scouting;
07-
RB Le'Ron McClain
06-
SS Dawan Landry
P Sam Koch
05-
OC Jason Brown
QB Derek Anderson
03-
LB Jarret Johnson
FB Ovie Mughelli
These two guys are by far my favorites for the job. They would also be cheaper than more established guys.
COMING SOON...
