I just put this up on the main page. Interesting Chicago perspective:
My guess is that if Gabriel is given a chance (and I don't completely buy the increased power for Jauron argument), it would mean the end for Mordak, as it seems this is Gabriel's area of expertise. Guy and Overdorf would still definitely have a place, but Mordak would be a redundant hang-on.
Despite a shaky 2007 rookie class, Gabriel maintains a solid reputation around the league for the way he helped Jerry Angelo build a Super Bowl team in 2006 largely through the draft. It was the fourth Super Bowl participant Gabriel had been involved in building.
The key to the process will be Bills coach Dick Jauron, a league source said.
Many expect Jauron's power to increase with Levy's departure. The next executive hired -- not necessarily to carry the title of general manager -- will have to work in concert with him. If the next candidate would be willing to be called vice president of player personnel, it might help his cause.
