Raiders Hire Mike Mayock as GM...

Full disclosure, I just always appreciated his in-depth study and analysis of the picks.  I didnt pay attention to his mocks, but rather, I just liked to hear his breakdowns of guys - the good, the bad, the strengths, the weaknesses, etc.  That and he is a football lifer.  He is NOT Mart Hurney.  The dude played football through the professional level and knows football...  that being said, that doesnt mean it makes him a great decision maker as a talent evaluator.  I just appreciated his knowledge of prospects and thought that COULD translate well into an official front office position.   And again, Washington reportedly offered him their job last year and he turned it down...  only reason I can think that he took Oakland's instead is all of the upcoming first rounders?

Yep, I'll miss his draft analysis. I think he was the best one going by a LONG shot. Kiper and McShay just want to bicker with each other and out-hyperbole each other. Mayock at least tried to approach his analysis like a GM or scout would. The funniest part about this whole deal will be how incredibly salty Mel Kiper gets that Mayock landed a GM gig while no one in the NFL would ever or will ever give that clown the time of day.

Damn, now that is one guy I would've loved to come in and replace Hurney here...  also, gonna miss his NFLN analysis.

this is how you get a Blaine Gabbert instead of a Cam Newton. 

Everyone talks about how easy it is for Hurn-dawg to get first round picks right.  It ain't that easy.
