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!

actually, we also have access to his sources. Just go to bb.com and click on Chris Browns blog and then run back here and start a thread . Just make sure to say, "my sources" .
Sweet. I'm going to start saying "my sources indicate" from here on in every time I start a thread.
It's both weak and deep, depending on how you look at it. Realisitcally there is only one "stud" in the bunch and that's Willis - that's why it could be considered a weak crop. After that you have a bunch of guys who fit into certain systems. Guys who could shine in the right systems, but become unknowns in the wrong system. There are alot of guys who will be good value picks in rounds 2-4 which is why it's a deep crop. Beason and Poz will most likely be low first to early 2nd rounders. Then you have a GREAT run stuffer in in David Harris if that's what you need. You also have your Timmons', Buster Davis', Siler's, Durant's, Shaw's, etc. etc.
I personally feel that if you're looking for quick, undersized guys, for e.g. the Bills & Colts, you have more options.
probably true--at least for the WLB types. 2nd or 3rd round guys like Rufus Alexander or Justin Durant are undersized by very fast and great in coverage. Not sure its that deep for the MLB or SLB position, which require speed and cover skills but a little more bulk as well. I.e. we can definately get another (maybe even a better) Ellison in the 2nd or 3rd, but can we find someone who can help us in the run game?
Slow down.. Your actually talking about what the thread is supposed to be about and didnt take a single potshot at Kiper!
I think there is a significant dropoff after Willis, Beason, Timmons and Poz. After the 1st round, where these guys should go, there is a bit of a gap. There are no OLB's and only one ILB (Siler) worth a 2nd IMO.
I would call that weak, but the upside of some of those receiving the lower draft grades, like Quincy Black, Stephen Nicholas, Justin Durant and Rufus Alexander is awfully tempting on day 1.
Since we need an immediate full-time starter, you have to measure by that standard. IMO, based on what I've read, Willis, Beason and Poz are the only ones who can do that. Anyone else, and I'd be really concerned about our defense.

No this draft is not weak at LB, and you can easily find starters (yes even for this year). Here are the players who could start this year for this team and many other NFL teams:
1 Willis
2 Beason
3 Pos
4 Harris
5 Durant
6 DeOssie
7 Blades
8 Davis
9 Siler
10 Black
11 Timmons
12 Bradeley
13 Nicholas
14 Everett
15 Alexander
16 Johnson
Im sorry but when you have 16 LB's (all IMO of course) who could start at some point this season and contribute then that is not a weak LB class whatsoever. And Id be willing to defend any of those guys to anybody.
COMING SOON...

Thanks man! I always thought this draft was deep at LB too. There are a bunch of stars and some very solid ones too.
