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

With the 2024 NFL draft starting Thursday, there will be news that may affect the draft stock of players. That's the case with draft prospect Adonai Mitchell.
Adonai Mitchell plummeted all the way to the No. 52 overall pick in the NFL Draft despite being projected as a consensus first-round selection, a fall reportedly impacted by behavioral concerns
It's not that he's diabetic; it's that he doesn't seem to take the best care of it which results in a cranky, less-than-full-effort player.

It's easy to excuse his bad attitude on the mismanagement of his diabetes.
But his bad attitude just might be because he thinks he's better than everybody else. Including his coaches.
I don't no what all the fuss is about Mitchell, in his college career he had a total of 93 rec for 1400 yards, being he played for Georgia and Texas and was suppose to go to ole Miss .
Mitchell will be a Zay Jones type of WR at his best if he is lucky, If I had to put money on a WR that got drafted this year that was gonna be a star I put it on Ricky Persall.... the kid wasn't surrounded by great talent or have great quarterbacking like Harrison and the duo from LSU.....
thats what I look at, raw talent that stands out on bad teams like Allen coming out..... some of these guys like M Harrison get over hyped because of stats and then in his situation his name also...
They need to keep this kid as far away from Dawkins as possible. The last thing we need is for him to be another clown show sidekick to the "Shnoman" like McKenzie.
And I've never been impressed with Cover1 either.

what isn't there is...separation. He had one deep ball against Syracuse where the DB might have tripped or was fooled. But on the vast majority of passes, defenders are within a yard or two of him. He certainly makes some contested catches, but he also misses on many of them. Id be surprised if his contested catch rate was even close to 50%. And that doesn't bode well for a guy who has to make a contested catch on nearly every target.
The 4.6 40 shows up on tape. Sorry.
I'm as skeptical as many with how this kid is going to translate to the next level, but I will say something positive...he may not create separation with speed, but he finds the open spots against zone and creates space (a kind of separation on it's own) with his body. With the league apparently transitioning to more 2 and 3 deep shells that might be a more favorable skill set than blazing speed. And it will probably take him longer to adjust to the better coverage guys in the NFL, not being able to just outrun them.

I am assuming his size and athleticism is what Brady covets in creating mismatches . There also Kincaid. It's up to Allen to exploit those mismatches

That guy with the handle “Tardrat” , He kinda blows! ~Cover1

I just think we need to manage expectations of how he's going to be used. He's probably not going to be a deep ball threat. He could very well end up being a slot guy. Which is ok, he may be able to create mismatches on slants and other mid range throws. We don't have an obvious direct replacement on the roster for Diggs. But it could be Shakir that is better suited to the outside than Coleman. Coleman seems to have a strong burst so the slot may be where he's a cross between a Kincaid and a Gabe Davis. The 40 time may only matter on deep throws. So maybe he's more of a chain moving red zone monster. I think we'd all take that right now

He needs to be developed. It will take time. Probably won't stretch the field and he wasn't used in the slot at Florida. Isn't a great route runner. He's built for a big slot role, but it's not who he was in college. So...
He's not going to mesh with Josh's ability right away. He won't be a Kincaid his rookie year.
I do like the pick and the player, though.
Still don't believe we didn't also pick Johnny Wilson.
