Found this article through Reiss' blog.
The time of year I miss Buchsbaum and Holovak the most | NFL | Chron.com - Houston Chronicle
Joel Buchsbaum was the NFL editor for Pro Football Weekly for a long time. A few months after he passed away, they held a little service for him at the combine, and there were two guest speakers: the author of the article linked above, and BB.
The last part of the article has the BB connection:
I seriously doubt that too.

Among the stories Belichick told about Joel was trying to hire him when he was the head coach at Cleveland and after he was hired by New England. As Belichick explained, Joe politely declined, saying he felt like he worked for every team as long as he was at PFW and covered the league.
For those of you who never got to hear or read Buchsbaum, here's the ultimate compliment I can pay him. We all know how super-secret Belichick is. At the service in Indianapolis, Belichick told a story that showed how much respect he had for Joel's personnel acumen.
Belichick said every year, the day before the draft, he called Joel and disclosed his draft board. Belichick said he actually made a few changes now and then based on Joel's evaluations.
On Wednesday, I seriously doubt Belichick is going to be calling any of the current draftniks and revealing his draft board to get their opinion.
I seriously doubt that too.
