Finished this book by Michael Lombardi a week ago. I would recommend it as good not great. I was really hoping he would delve deeper into the draft evaluation process beyond just a high level view. He does cover working for Bill Walsh, Al Davis and of course Belichick. Their team building, drafting and football game theories were interesting vs each other. He also calls out a few coaches and personnel men.
He of course covers both spy/deflategate issues. Basically the entire league was and still is finding every way to steal signals and that deflate was the biggest witch hunt since the 1600's.
This last part I felt was interesting since we've had this debate numerous times on this forum. Who is Bill's worst draft pick ever? Lombardi quotes Bill as saying time and time again it was Ron Brace. Highlight the text before this to see if your guess was correct.
