Buddo Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Hope he recovers well. Can't say I'll miss him, as I think he's rubbish. Neither particularly well informed, or an especially astute evaluator. I think Kiper is a better evaluator, by far, but Mayock was even more so. Mayock also was able to give you who the next team might pick, and was regularly correct. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountain Man Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 I wondered if something was up, he hasn't done the last 2 episodes of the First Draft podcast with Kiper and they basically avoided the topic of why he wasn't on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's No Moon Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 4 minutes ago, Mr. WEO said: by agents? by the league. They hand in the card, they tip the pick to the NFLN broadcast, they talk into Mayock's ear. It's not that hard. How many times do they obviously wait to announce the pick until the broadcast is done talking and ready for them to? Answer, all the time. The other thing is they obviously pick out teams they are going to hammer every year no matter what they do. They can talk both ways about any player depending on who takes them. It's not a factual broadcast. It's a made for TV event and they interject intrigue and drama to increase viewer interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we were talking about mocks..... although if we were ignore me.... I thought we were talking about the on screen analysis before picks are announced especially in round 1. Where he regularly called the name of the right guy as Goodell walked on stage after telling you for 90 seconds why X team had to go for a totally different position. And I liked Mayock, thought he was good, but used to annoy the hell out of me when he did that. Yea.... we can all predict the pick when someone is giving us the answer in our ear....

I meant he was always lauded for his mock drafts. But you are saying he would contradict his own mock picks that he would publish up to the draft...because he was shouted the actual pick into his earpiece just before the announcement. How did he explain that? "Hey Mike, you've been mocking player X at this pick for days---why did you just change it? Oh hold on looks like you were right! WOW". And why would the league benefit from tipping off the pick right before the pick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And why would the league benefit from tipping off the pick right before the pick? Well obviously once you are a few picks and your mock goes wrong you don't still say "well they will take player X" if he is already off the board. But yes... he would basically say "oh it could be X as the Commish walked on stage" and then they would cut back to Eisen and Mariucci who would say "good call Mike". Was cringe worthy.

Buddo Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 While it wouldn't surprise me if he did get the 'heads up', I always felt that he did a terrific job with teams needs and who they were going to pick in the later rounds. Tbh, I don't/didn't really care about who is most right with a draft mock, I simply would rather have listened to Mayock on draft nights, than any of the others. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that’s the case, remarks about “infections over the Internet” and “cutting to him” don’t address the issue.

RyanC883 Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 This totally sucks for him. Not only do you have COVID-19, but you miss the biggest work even of the year, the thing that he literally works almost all year for.

Of course he shouldn’t do anything if he’s really bad off. My guess is that it’s optics primarily as @Lurker pointed out. It’s a bad look to have him, even for a brief time on TV while the whole draft is being conducted from home. It appears insensitive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GRHater69 Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Some people do OK and are functional. Others don't. The fever hits them hard and they can barely get out of bed for a few days. Without knowing that we should just wish Todd the best and carry on until we know how bad it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
