    Re: Buffalo Bills Embedded. Fun look at the draft room

    Fascinating video.

    I really liked the combine interview. Player character is revealed in these situations. There was over a dozen people in the room, watching his every reaction. A year long effort by a team of scouts and evaluators (a lot more than 12) these moments are what none of us here on the outside can comprehend.

    It's also apparent that the Bills had Coleman graded fifth overall and above all three of the WR that were picked from 28 to #33.

    What deft draft management by Beane. He knew he wanted Coleman and the effort to gain more draft capital while STILL getting their guy is the goal.

    Good catch. And fortunately it worked out.

    IMO the most interesting thing was Peg's daughter Laura not shying away from being involved.

    NFL GM job is as difficult as it comes. Even after a year of intensive studly by a large team of talent evaluators, every draft pick is a risk.

    No one EVER knows how a kid (yeah....21, 22 year old that have been pampered and revered for years next to a god) will react to the massive pressure of entering the NFL, where EVERY players was a star for years.

    Even at the top tier of college ball, there are only a handful of excellent prospects playing against a bunch of slugs (no disrespect meant). There are no slugs in the NFL. Even the worst bust was a star before the NFL.

    That's what Tim Graham is alluding to. Jessica Pegula openly said her Mom wants her to eventually own the Bills. Now, Terry took over Kim's ownership portion, gave some ownership to Laura who has no tie to Kim, and fired Jessica's husband from his business. By NFL rule, should something unexpected to happen to Terry, Laura would be the owner. I guess media loves famous family drama and Tim is smelling blood.
