as Nix said on WGR550 today
Asked about guys who were not in the 30 who visited Nix said:
"At the No. 10 pick, 99 percent of the time we will have visited with him. The difference is that we visit with them at a lot of different times. When we're at the combine there's a room set up with tables for each team. Every player is scheduled to be in that room when he’s not taking physicals, he’s not in the workout phase. He’s got dead time - sometimes five or six hours in the day he has to be in that room. All of our position coaches are in there at the table. We have a couple of scouts who go get players for them and bring them in and sit them down at the table and our coaches interview them. That just about covers everybody at the Combine. Joe D’Allessandris and Andrew Dees will talk to every offensive lineman that’s there. And then in the same period, at night, we pick 60 guys that they bring into our room at the hotel and we interview those 60. When we come back home we’re allowed to bring in 30 guys. Plus, when I go to workouts I’ll have a set time when I visit with guys and bring them in just one on one and we go thirty minutes and our scouts do the same thing. Having said all that I don’t think we’ll miss one every two or three years that we don’t talk to."
He also mentioned that not only had the Bills met and spoken to both Reiff and Floyd at the combine, but they'd also met up with Floyd at Notre Dame, where he was taped and we spoke to the coaches about him.
Just to muddy the waters at who we'll pick at No10
