MAJBobby Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 As per Scheftner. I have always wondered if there was ever going to be a team that would take the NFL Draft Personality and make him a GM. I guess it is the Raiders. Will be be interesting to see how he does. Someone that has just watched a lot of film. Played briefly and NEVER been in an NFL FO gets the Keys to build a franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrober38 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 What a terrible hire. This guy's track record on a number of positions is flat out terrible. It's 2018, and the Raiders are hiring an old school scout who doesn't believe in any analytics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Hindsight Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Well he gets to be in the room, Gruden has the keys and that is why a guy like Mayock was picked. I've always liked Mayock. I hope he does well 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenorthremembers Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 My brother in law is a Raiders fan. For his sake I hope everything works out. Del Rio deserved to be fired, but this year has been a train wreck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always liked Mayock. I hope he does well I agree that Gruden will have final say. But Mayock will be picking the scouts. Putting the reports together and building that Draft and Pro Personnel Staff. Interesting going “outside” the nepotism and recycling that always occurs in the league. On a side note. Huge Loss for NFL and their state run media channel for draft time. Edited December 31, 2018 by MAJBobby 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wppete Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 (edited) Being a G.M. is a lot more than just the draft. This should be interesting. More chaos with the raiders. But did they interview a minority G.M. for the job? I’m not sure about that rule. It doesn’t make sense.

dave mcbride Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Jeezus H. Christ. The Raiders are the NFL equivalent of the Trump administration -- hiring folks because the boss hears them talking on TV. What a clusterf**k. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FeelingOnYouboty Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 I feel really bad for Raider fans. Going from Carr, Cooper and Mack to Gruden and Mayock. Bad owners <<<<< 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papazoid Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 if you or anyone had to rank the Top 150 players in the upcoming 2019 NFL draft. you are going to have a lot of misses. circumstances dictates fortunes. take Zach Prescott QB Dallas......he looked a lot better 3 years ago playing behind that loaded offensive line....now, not so much, as that line changed personnel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoBills808 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Being GM is about a lot more than scouting prospects. If I we’re a Raiders fan I’d be pretty apprehensive about this hire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
