I'm not shy in my praise of Mike Mayock as the best draft analyst out there, and it sounds like NFL teams agree with the assessment.

Mayock told Joe Rose on WQAM Thursday (Via Omar Kelly) that he's had "three or four offers to join NFL front offices" but that "it wasn't the right time."

One of those offers may have come from the Raiders. Mayock was tied to Oakland as a possible successor to Mike Lombardi three years ago, although the team denied the report.

Mayock went on to say he'd be open to the possibility of joining a team "if the right opportunity came along."

Selfishly, we hope he sticks with television.

There are plenty of front office jobs, but only so many prominent TV gigs. We'd imagine it would be hard for him to leave. Working in television isn't as grueling, it probably will pay better long-term, and it has far more security.

I'm a big fan of Mayock, but you have to be careful with the assumption that a guy can do the job just because he can talk the talk (see Matt Millen).

I agree. A team could get people excited about having him there in the FO, but could end up majorly screwing themselves in the future.

      Jack Roslovic: Only 2 other UFA, right-handed centers age 28 or under had more points (39) than him- Sam Bennett (51) and Pius Suter (46). There were 4 other centers age 33 and older who scored more: Gireaux (37), Marchand (37), Tavares (34), Granlund (33).  Unless the Canes go old, if they let Jack walk, they won't get a center who scored more.  Thoughts?

      It's important to differentiate criticism and hate. I can't speak for that individual you quoted. But most people who have been critical of the Tepper's have been so because both of them have made it a point to put themselves front and center and in the middle of team operations and we have been largely horrific more often than not as a result. If people are making derogatory remarks about her that should be met with an appropriate response but if people are being defensive just because she's being criticized all I can say is people should get used to it. Both her and David would have been getting absolutely skewered by the media and the fans if this were a big market franchise. The Lakers are finally being sold off after years and years of public criticism of Jeannie Buss and even though I'm the furthest you could go from being a Lakers fan just about anyone you could meet who is familiar with the NBA would say the criticism was certainly valid.
