Yeah but then again, every analyst has missed. I think it’s hard to hold that against him. Also the draft projections are largely for entertainment purposes, I think it’s different when it’s your actual job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEpsYtown Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 I don't care about he Raiders. Does this mean Daniel Jeremiah becomes the main draft guy? I always liked him and his takes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked a lot better since he has gotten Amari Cooper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. I agree that the NFL network lost their star draft guy. It stinks. Dunno how Mayock is going to win in this situation because Chuckie will have the final say on draft selections. That said Gruden looks like a total fool for allowing Mack, Cooper to leave. Those two helped propel the Boys and Bears to the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papazoid Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Reports indicate the job won’t be a traditional general manager position, and will report to Gruden, who will have final say on all personal decisions, including during the draft and free-agent signings http://www.philly.com/sports/mike-mayock-nfl-network-raiders-jon-gruden-draft-20181231.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virgil Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 I feel like this has to be a frontman choice. Gruden will run the entire show and he will be more a PR, face to the camera guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave mcbride Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 (edited) I think this is a terrible hire, but in fairness Ernie Accorsi was a sports reporter (newspapers) before becoming an NFL exec. The era in which he started was very different and far less complicated, though. Edited December 31, 2018 by dave mcbride Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterpan Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Soooo why has no one pointed out that hiring Mayock is pointless.....you can get his services for FREE. He posts his rankings on the internet!!! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerJ Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Fascinating hire. I don't think there is any possible way to predict how he'll do. From Mayock's perspective, it is a golden opportunity to put his money (or the money of the Raiders) where his mouth is. There is real risk for him in that if he flops it will show in the team and eventually get him fired if he makes too many wrong choices. I admire him for taking that risk, and leaving the cushy world of the media observer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of it really matters, Gruden is Coach/GM/President of that team and its him calling the shots, Mayocks position will be to hold the title in meetings and give his opinions and insight and be Grudens lackey........
