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

I tried to come up with a serious one of my own after playing with the idea of trying to be funny with submitting an all QB draft, but honestly can't begin to have a clue this year. I usually manage to come up with who I hope for in the first three rounds but this year is like a void.
Farthest I got was Tomlinson in 2, and Marpet in 3 but I can't realistically think they'll take two OL that early, which took me to Grayson in 2, Marpet in 3 and then I went blank because I'm hoping for Tomlinson in 2 to begin with.
I think I'm just settling back into no expectations, no remorse and no clue.
2-Garrett Grayson, QB, Colorado State
3-Sean Mannion, QB, Oregon State
5-Cody Fajardo, QB, Nevada
6a-Anthony Boone, QB, Duke
6b-Bo Wallace, QB, Ole Miss
7-Will Monday, P, Duke, is a punter but has the height to be a QB if they think outside the box and adopt a quick kick strategy for field position battles. Can arguably hand off as well as Peyton Manning.
USC standout wide receiver Nelson Agholor has worked out for the Philadelphia Eagles twice, including coach Chip Kelly, and also worked out for the Carolina Panthers, visited the Buffalo Bills and will work out for the New England Patriots, according to sources. Agholor ran the 40-yard dash in 4.42 seconds at the NFL scouting combine […]

Cincy Enquirer beat reporter Paul Dehner Jr. had these comments about Agholor in an article about what he though would be the B'gals assessent of wrs with respect to their needs and their current crop:
Nelson Agholor
College: USC, Jr.
Body: 6-0, 198
Stats: 4.42 40-yard dash, led USC in receptions, yards, third team All-American
Mocks say: McShay: 41st; Sports Illustrated: 47th.
"Bengals fit: Offers speed and playmaking, many compare him as a better pro than his former teammates Marquise Lee (Jaguars) and Robert Woods (Bills). Also offers the ability as an explosive returner on special teams. Varying opinions but most see him in the early second round, most in the top 50 - before the Bengals draft.
Chance Bengals draft him: 10 percent. Could be one of those players who slips down the second round and the Bengals pull the trigger because other prospects are already gone. Mainly wonder if his projected pick falls outside of the Bengals' pick area. "

50 R2P18 G ALI MARPET HOBART - Some people see this as a sentimental, feel good pick that isn't worth the round. Wrong. He's probably the best overall athlete of any interior lineman in the draft. Speed, first step, strength, lateral agility. Its already there. Held up very well at the Senior Bowl practices. Smart, will pick up things early. Give him a year and he's going to be a starter at guard for years to come.
81 R3P17 QB BRYCE PETTY BAYLOR
The annual foray into the QB prospects. I agree with Ingtar..if you're going to draft him, let him sit for a year or two and let him learn the system.
155 R5P19 OT MITCH MORSE MISSOURI
Projected as a guard after playing left and right tackle at Mizzou. I really wanted Mark Glowinski of West Virginia (an up and comer) but he was taken 3 spots ahead of my pick. In terms of measurables, Morse is up there in both the strength and agility categories. (36 bench reps, around 4.5 in the shuttle) He's NOT limited athlete, but he needs work.
188 R6P12 ILB BRYCE HAGER BAYLOR
Short at 6'1", but he runs a 4.5 40 and was Baylor's leading tackler. 2 time all Big 12. At worst, a special teamer contributor.
194 R6P18 OT JAMON BROWN LOUISVILLE
Surprisingly quick for a guy that weighs 323. RT and LT at Louisville. Ran a 5 flat 40 and a sub 1.8 10 yard split. At the East West Shrine Game, they put him next to his teammate John Miller for a while, and they had a lot of fun opening holes on the right side. They were knocking people around on every play.
234 R7P17 OLB ALANI FUA BYU
Undersized, but room to add strength/bulk, at 6'4". Ran a 4.5 40. A good strength and conditioning program might do him good.
2-Garrett Grayson, QB, Colorado State
3-Sean Mannion, QB, Oregon State
5-Cody Fajardo, QB, Nevada
6a-Anthony Boone, QB, Duke
6b-Bo Wallace, QB, Ole Miss
7-Will Monday, P, Duke, is a punter but has the height to be a QB if they think outside the box and adopt a quick kick strategy for field position battles. Can arguably hand off as well as Peyton Manning.
I think you've got the second round pick correct. If he's still on the board Grayson will be a William.
Marpet was available at 81 when I used the simulator and fanspeak's big board. I ended up with...DT Carl Davis, OG Ali Marpet, OT Tyrus Thompson, CB Quandre Diggs, DE Jeremia Rauscia and QB Sean Mannion, in that order.
I love that simulator, BTW, thanks for posting it gil. If you want that to be an official entry in the contest you'll have to post it in that thread, though.

I had a ball with the simulator, using big board composite. And probably will have fun with it a few more times. It's not an entry for anything, but I came up with :
50: R2P18 CB QUINTEN ROLLINS MIAMI (OHIO) I'd use him at safety.
81: R3P17 G A.J. CANN SOUTH CAROLINA : No great traits, solid ones across the board, it was he or Marpet for me.
155: R5P19 ILB JAKE RYAN MICHIGAN : Overachiever, said to live and breathe football, I see him as a Rex Ryan guy in a Brown/Bradham/Ryan rotation at in the middle.
188: R6P12 TE RORY ANDERSON SOUTH CAROLINA : Nicknamed Busta, athletic undersized atm, mismatch guy with too many triceps injuries, but it's the 6th round.
194: R6P18 QB CONNOR HALLIDAY WASHINGTON ST. : Built like a matchstick, but powerful arm, loves to use it, cocky, has no clue what he can't do yet.
234: R7P17 DT DAVID PARRY STANFORD : With some more weight, Yardrat will be content that they have a part time powerful beast of someone to use as a two gap NT and stop complaining about it.
Thanks for the simulator, it gave me an idea of who is out there. Lots of fun.
