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

Shefter: Broncos will have to take Dareus at 2 and not trade down
Find all the latest Rotoworld fantasy sports news, live coverage, videos, highlights, stats, predictions, and results right here on NBC Sports.
Now, I will say that IMO Denver will stay and take Dareus. And that puts Newton or Gabbert in our laps if we want them.
It will not surprise me, BTW, if Patrick Peterson ends up being the Panthers pick. To me, he is the best prospect in this draft followed by Dareus. And, under this scenario, Newton and Gabbert both drop to us.
I think our pick will be one of the following 4 players: Dareus, Newton, Gabbert, or Miller.
And to be honest, I'd be pretty happy with any of them.
Re: Shefter: Broncos will have to take Dareus at 2 and not trade down
That's too bad...I was hoping we'd get Dareus. Oh well, the pick is looking more and more like Von Miller...
However, I just saw this on rotoworld:
ESPN's Adam Schefter continues to believe the Panthers will select Auburn QB Cam Newton at No. 1 overall.
Schefter was similarly confident the Rams would take Sam Bradford at No. 1 last season, so his prediction is likely a sound one. On the chance Newton does slip by Carolina at No. 1, Schefter has been told by a rival GM that he would then not make it past the Bills at No. 3.
Re: Shefter: Broncos will have to take Dareus at 2 and not trade down
Stupid question...Dareus isn't a guy that is going to drop on draft day unless he molests the children of all of the GM's for the top five teams between now and then. Newton, Peterson and Green are the guys most likely to fall out of the top 5 IMO.

Re: Shefter: Broncos will have to take Dareus at 2 and not trade down
Shef may be right. Newton won't make it past #3. The thing is teams should be calling Buffalo, trying to beat Cinci to an overrated QB. I'm sure that's what the Bills want, if Dareus is gone. Especially if the old NFL rule$ are still in effect for big rookie bonu$ & guar payout$.
The pick value (2200 points) is known, so backing up in Round 1 equals an extra 2nd,3rd & 5th/6th. God knows we need the extra picks and the value of this draft is in the middle rounds, with only 2 real blue chippers ( Peterson, Dareus ) showing in this draft. Already have an extra 4th & 7th.

That rotoworld entry made me laugh. A few weeks ago, Schefter was predicting Gabbert would go #1 overall and Rotoworld made the same argument, saying "Schefter was right last year, so it's likely he's right now too, so pencil Gabbert into the #1 spot."
Some people have been saying Newton will go #1 overall for longer than Schefter has.

God I hope Newton's off the board before we draft. same with Patrick Peterson.

i won't be happy with newton or gabbert. i don't understand why people would be.
When I was a jr in college, about 3 days before I was supposed to head back to school for the fall semester, I found out that my car needed a repair that was more than the car was worth.
So I had to come up with a car, fast. My dad knew a guy who was selling a 12 year old Chevy Nova (same as the Corolla from that year) for next to nothing. The paint was fading, it had no balls and it lacked the only feature I cared about at the time: a tape or CD player so I didn't have to listen to god-awful FM radio.
But, I needed a car so I was more than happy to take what was available. I got by with it for about 3 or 4 years, then I had to replace it with something newer that had more power and more space.
This is exactly what's going on with Newton and Gabbert. We need a QB, so people are willing to settle for what's available rather than waiting to get what we really want/need. And if we do that, then in 3-4 years we'll be looking for a replacement because we took what was available instead of what we really needed.

Who the hell WASN'T right about Bradford being picked #1 overall last year? Everyone was saying it once they knew he was healthy. It was pretty common knowledge, so I don't give props to Schefter for his prediction.
This year's draft is totally different and a bad year to be picking first, especially if you need a QB. I just hope that Dareus and Miller aren't the first two picks. We desperately need to improve our front 7, and these seem like the best two players to do that. If Dareus is there, I say we don't blink before taking him, but, unfortunately, I don't see that him being there. In that case, I'd take Miller.
Hopefully, the only Cam in the Bills War Room on draft day is the one on the wall, filming them as they make their pick. I hope the Panthers DO take Newton.

I don't know that I agree. We had plenty that didn't think Bradford was a franchise guy due to injury concerns and the lack of experience that came along with it.
