26CornerBlitz Posted May 18, 2017 Posted May 18, 2017 @buffalobills We've hired Lake Dawson as our Assistant Director of College Scouting. Background on Dawson: http://bufbills.co/pl047Y @BuffaloBillsPR Get to know new @buffalobills Assistant Director of College Scouting Lake Dawson. Bills GM Brandon Beane on the hiring of Lake Dawson.
Mark Vader Posted May 18, 2017 Posted May 18, 2017 Sounds like a good hire. Now if he's the Assistant Director, then who is the Director?
Rico Posted May 18, 2017 Posted May 18, 2017 Excellent! Anybody still missing the 17 scrub scouts that got dumped? I'm pretty sure this FO will have that more than covered before too long.
Juice_32 Posted May 18, 2017 Posted May 18, 2017 Wake me up when we hire an assistant to the traveling secretary.
YoloinOhio Posted May 18, 2017 Posted May 18, 2017 Sounds like a good hire. Now if he's the Assistant Director, then who is the Director? it could be the guy from KC we heard about yesterday but hasn't been announced yet. That is his title there.
BillsFan4 Posted May 18, 2017 Posted May 18, 2017 Can't really say I know much of anything about him but it seems like it could be a good hire... it could be the guy from KC we heard about yesterday but hasn't been announced yet. That is his title there. That is what I was thinking/hoping too. I was glad when I seen this guy was just the asst. Gave me hope Allen is still coming here.
NoSaint Posted May 18, 2017 Posted May 18, 2017 (edited) Obviously none of us know much on these guys but I like that we are getting experienced people from a variety of backgrounds and not just raiding a single "gm tree" and giving big bumps to everyone in it. Might be a product of the timing and not being able to raid a staff but after getting McD and Beane I do like getting a variety of perspectives and experience in the room instead of the possible groupthink of getting the young panthers club or all Andy Reid guys Edited May 18, 2017 by NoSaint
Juice_32 Posted May 18, 2017 Posted May 18, 2017 it could be the guy from KC we heard about yesterday but hasn't been announced yet. That is his title there.That's my guess. Marvin Allen.

There are obvious connections but it seems to be a broad net being cast.
The Wiz Posted May 18, 2017 Posted May 18, 2017 ah yes, I had him high on my fantasy scouting teamProjected as a regional scout. Bills overpaid again.
YoloinOhio Posted May 18, 2017 Posted May 18, 2017 Projected as a regional scout. Bills overpaid again.Reaching again. So Billsy.
eball Posted May 18, 2017 Posted May 18, 2017 Excellent! Anybody still missing the 17 scrub scouts that got dumped? I'm pretty sure this FO will have that more than covered before too long. I can still hear the cries -- where oh where will we ever find scouts! All the good ones are gone! Why did they wait to fire everyone!
KellyToughII Posted May 18, 2017 Posted May 18, 2017 Excellent! Anybody still missing the 17 scrub scouts that got dumped? I'm pretty sure this FO will have that more than covered before too long. Impossible Rico, No one worth a damn wants to work for this dumpsterfire / the Pegulas / The sham of a GM search etc *dripping sarcasm off*
JoeF Posted May 18, 2017 Posted May 18, 2017 I can still hear the cries -- where oh where will we ever find scouts! All the good ones are gone! Why did they wait to fire everyone! Hats off to Beane....it appears he could sell ice to Eskimos
Augie Posted May 18, 2017 Posted May 18, 2017 I admit to gettting excited about signing these guys I had never heard of before.
OldTimeAFLGuy Posted May 18, 2017 Posted May 18, 2017 (edited) This is a great point and I was thinking the same. There are obvious connections but it seems to be a broad net being cast. ....and yet ANOTHER young gun 40 something.....liking this direction.....if you saw some of the bios for the 17 let go, many had been around for several years......clairvoyance?...17 let go and the drought is 17 years old.....hmmmm.................
