Tom Modrak is staying Bills GM

[raphael120]

as per bills text...

The Buffalo Bills have retained the services of the head of their college scouting department. Tom Modrak has agreed to remain with the club and will continue to serve the organization in that capacity.
Owner Ralph Wilson met with his top college talent evaluator Tuesday and an agreement was reached to have Modrak continue heading up the organization's college scouting efforts.
The veteran NFL talent evaluator was originally hired by the Bills back in June of 2001. Modrak has been an instrumental part of Buffalo's last six college player drafts.

Did he get a promotion? I thought he was the head of college scouting and Marv was the GM.

This will upset the hacks at PFW.

LOL... Great

Why would we want to get a young, sharp mind to groom under Marv or anything stupid like that.

Modrak is running the show, its just Marv's vision.

Maybe if Modrak had more control of the draft when Commander Tom was here, we would have been better off today!

I like Modrak. Good to hear.

OR, you can look at the similarities between the drafts under Marv and Tom and begin to connect the dots as to why they exist.

One doesn't have to look too far to see Modrak's influence since he's been on the team.

Those of you that can't quite see it now will figure it out sooner or later. Then again, many often believe what they want to believe and not what the facts dictate.

Thank God. I was really worried that we would be losing one of the premier talent evaluators in the NFL.

This is good news. It's no coincidence that our drafts have been awesome under Modrak Levy. a upgrade over Modrak/Donahoe. Modrak shies away from bad character( -McGahee). And is a great right hand for Marv...Great job getting it done Ralph

This is great news. We have a three headed monster in Marv, Jauron and Modrak. This is the makings of a great team. These guys are sharp.

Perfectly stated.. Congrats Modrak...

[JJamezz]

Definitely good news.

That rumor about replacing Modrak with the guy from Chicago was a little frightening..

I don't think Modrak had nearly as much say in the actual draft selections when Donahoe was here as some think.

[justasportsfan]

Modrak is head of the scouting department. I assume that in the end whether it was TD or MArv , he doesn't have the final say who get's drafted. He just grades them and see's if they fit based on what the coaches want/need.

Again I am assuming that the coaches' inputs weighed heavily on MArv and can't say the same about TD. TD went more for talent than a player that fit the system.
