Yeah, that's what they really tried hard to do in terms of setting up the front office the last two years. Emery was an important initial hire from the Falcons because he had worked with Dimitrioff for a bit and picked up the Patriots draft grading system from him, so when he came over here he was able to transition seamlessly and help train the scouts here. One would hope that by now they would have that house in order so that if he does leave, they've got guys to pick up the slack. But at the end of the day it's Pioli's show...
