must...not...panic....
Looks like they've "merged" :
"NFLDraftScout.com and CBSSports.com are teaming up to provide the most comprehensive year-round coverage of the NFL Draft. All of the information and expert analysis from NFLDraftScout.com will be available here in this enhanced user experience. Please direct all questions or comments to here."
CBS has had NFLDS stuff for a while, it looks like this might be the final frontier of the change now.
You can still reach those inside pages but the links from there to the home go to CBS - the inside pages won't do any good if they're not being updated. I guess we'll just have to wait and see but it doesn't look good.
Works here too.

DaBruinz said:Mr. Cooney -
My name is DaBruinz. I have been a subscriber NFLDraftscout.com for the past 4 years and have enjoyed the content that you, Rob Rang and Chad Reuter (to name a few) have presented. When I went attempted to go to the website today, I was very disturbed when I was re-directed to CBSSports.com. The new site is horrible. The first page only has about 1/3 the info regarding the draft. The rest is worthless ads and content that I don't want or need. I have to say that this is a very disappointing development. Especially considering that the future draft information is no longer there.
I hope that you take this as constructive criticism and work with CBS to bring NFLDraftscout.com back to his former prestige.
Thanks for your time.
Sincerely,
DaBruinz

Here is the letter that I wrote to Frank Cooney
Here is the response that I got:
I love the site as much as the next guy. But...
What makes Rang and Cooney legitimate "scouts"?
Is it not a self-appointed title??? A marketing trick?
Rang, in particular, never served as a scout.
He went from being a draftnik with a site to this.
Sure, he claims to have been offered a scout job. So?!
Never worked as one yet is, strangely, viewed as one.
Frankly, though his analysis is usually very in-depth,
it is often unoriginal (aka: borrowed) or just a tad off.
He's had MANY memorable misses in talent evaluation.
Don't know enough about Cooney to speak about him.
But it seems they are cashing in.
Interesting write-ups they've added.Anyone who has a subscription should read the scouting reports for the top OTs.
Most detail I have ever seen from any website.
