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

Apperantly since Mike Williams entered the draft after it was a within the rules to do so, not by suing the nfl for access, he my be grandfathered in, because when he signed up, it was within the rules for him to do so.
This is reported by Clayton on ESPN Draft Special
if you ask me.. the nfl is out to get clarrett, and wouldnt mind having williams in the draft.

Yeah- it would be real hard to keep him out- easy for thre regular draft- but not very hard for a supplimmental- which i think is inherintly unfair.
Some team in the top 13 will basically get 2 top picks in the draft for doing nothing.
has anyone ever figured out how the suplimental draft works? because i have seen two different reports both from reputable places that say lotto style and draft order..
doesnt make any sense..
would we have a shot at him in a suplimental draft or does san diego just get the bastard.

I think he'll be let back in reagardless of what the NFL says. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is a very liberal judge, and the fact that she took this case on appeal so quickly and promised to rule before the draft is an indicator she will side with clarrett.
I agree that the NFL probably doesnt care about Williams as much as it does about Clarett.
Tatonka, I am almost positive it is a lottery style drawing. San Diego would get 32 balls, Oakland 31, Arizona 30, and so on... I am pretty sure that is how Mel Kiper explained it on ESPN.

I think this is how it works.....
Teams with 6 or less wins get in pool A
7 or more wins, no playoffs pool B
Playoff teams pool c
Each team is assigned ping pong balls according to their 1st round draft rank. SD gets 32, Oakland 31, Buffalo 20, New England 1
The balls are then pulled - and the teams are ranked within their pools - So San Diego will not finish worse than 13th overall. The absolute best the Pats can finish is 20th.
I ran the odds yesterday- San Diego has a 9.4 % Chance at the top spot, Buffalo has the worst at 5.9%. The other 11 teams obviously fall in between.
ya in order they ask thev team if they wanna draft a player giving up a first. If no team wants to give up a number, then they go to a 2nd round and so on. Mike will go for a number 1, Maurice a 2nd or 3rd. Clarett could possibly be a good return guy once he gets in shape again
Mike Williams will give us, as Howard Cosell used to say, a plethora of possession WRs. I'd like more speed.
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 think Josh Reed has a lot of talent, and Sam Aiken will prove to be very good as well. These two, along with Shaw, give us a nice group of possession guys.
Mike Williams will also probably be good, most likely in a Keyshawn Johnson sort of way. But we've got that role covered.
We should go for a burner at WR.
