It's supposed to read..

Great to get new eyes and views on young players!

Geez, I hope them offering me a job wasn't the message I accidentally deleted yesterday.

[Generalissimus Gibby]

Fortunately none of them had any part of building the debacle known as the Cleveland Steamers.

Three are re-hirings of Bills scouts who had been let go. One is a former Dolphins GM LOL.

Nice to see the re-hired scouts.

[YardRat]

Good to see some CFL expertise being brought into the fold, maybe we can latch on to the next Cameron Wake or Warren Moon.

Actually, I've been told by a reliable source that Russ Brandon hired the Pegulas.

You do remember we brought in Polian and Marv from Montreal.

Three more hired.

The team announced three hires Thursday, completing the staff under General Manager Brandon Beane. Marcus Cooper and Pete Harris return to the organization after serving under former General Manager Doug Whaley. Cooper, who was previously an area scout, was named the team's BLESTO Scout. Harris, who was an area scout, was named the Northeast area scout.

Additionally, Chris Marrow was hired as a pro scout. He comes to the Bills from National Football Scouting, where he worked the last two years as a Northeast scout. He has also worked in the personnel department of the B.C. Lions of the Canadian Football League.
Here is a look at how Beane's personnel department is structured:
• Joe Schoen, assistant general manager
• Brian Gaine, vice president of player personnel
• Malik Boyd, director of pro personnel
• Terrance Gray, college scouting director
• Lake Dawson, assistant director of college scouting
• Brian Adams, national scout
• Marvin Allen, national scout
• Marcus Cooper, BLESTO scout
• Gerald Dixon, pro scout
• Brian Fisher, Midwest college scout
• Pete Harris, Northeast area scout
• Dennis Hickey, senior college scout
• Doug Majeski, West area scout
• Chris Marrow, pro scout
• Curtis Rukavina, pro scout
• Jason Barbarino, player personnel assistant
• Collin Dotterer, player personnel assistant

I was wondering if they were going to stick with BLESTO.

OK.

I am all for hiring statisticians.

[DraftCzar]

The question I have is how much did Doug Whaley listen to the scouts? Or, did he decide (maybe with help from Russ Brandon) to trade up and grab players?

.....It would be very interesting to find out how much Dougie listened to the scouts recommendations. Did the scouts recommended Cyrus Kouandjio as the Best Player Available in the 2nd round when Whaley drafted him? Or, did Doug simply want an OT so he went with Kouandjio?
