The following is a transcript from the Bills Pre-Draft Press Conference featuring GM Buddy Nix, Assistant General Manager/Director of Player Personnel Doug Whaley and Director of College Scouting Chuck Cook.
The NFL draft is scheduled for April 26-28.
General Manager Buddy Nix Opening Remarks:
This really culminates a year of work for us. These guys and our scouts, it comes down to this. We start out, and I think I tell you this every year, but there are about 2,000 names that we start with to go through and we wind up with, this year we've got 10 picks. It just keeps coming down each time we meet. We eliminate and keep trying to stack them and get them in the right place. You do everything you can to make sure you make all the choices count. You very seldom ever do that but that's the goal. These guys have been, of course Tommy has been working and Doug in free agency and he still keeps up with that. We overlap and do college stuff, he does. And Chuck will do some pro scouting. These guys can help talk about individuals. I will just tell you this, I tell you this every time and you don't listen and you don't believe me, but I'm going to tell you any way. Don't get pinned down by connecting the dots. It's fun, I enjoy reading it but it's fantasy football. It has nothing to do with what we might do. I don't care how many draftniks think that that's where we're going and that's the best pick for us, if that's not the guy we've got graded there, we won't take him. Don't get yourself in a spot where it sounds like you know and then it doesn't work out that way.
