wppete Posted December 30, 2018 Posted December 30, 2018 Interesting. This can’t be a good hire if it happens. No experience in the front office and a TV scout. But I guess if any team would do something like this it would be the Raiders. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2018/12/30/report-mike-mayock-has-interviewed-for-raiders-g-m-job/ 1 1
JoPar_v2 Posted December 30, 2018 Posted December 30, 2018 Ooof. Don’t do it Mike. Gruden’s off the rails. 2
whatdrought Posted December 30, 2018 Posted December 30, 2018 Mike Mayock is one of the better talent Evaluators in the NFL world. I think he could be a good GM, but I really like that guy and would hate to see him get stuck working with Chucky.
JimKellyTryouts Posted December 30, 2018 Posted December 30, 2018 He's my favorite pre-draft guy and he's done a pretty good job with mocks through the years, though - Wentz > Goff, Mack > Clowney, thinking Kamara could be a first rounder to name a few off the top of my head. I don't know about his pro evaluation or how he'd fare in the deeper rounds, but it would definitely be an intriguing hire.

78thealltimegreat Posted December 30, 2018 Posted December 30, 2018 Mayock would be more ideal as a head scout an NFL GMs job dealing with holdouts, waiver wires, contracts, etc... add to the fact that their coach is practically part owner and unless it’s unbelievable money stay where you are at Mike

I really hope Mike is smart enough to stay out of that mess. Also, Mayock is my favorite draft-nik. I would hate to lose that input.
Boatdrinks Posted December 30, 2018 Posted December 30, 2018 A very “ Davis “ type hire that would be. Doesn’t mean it can’t work, but this guy is a caricature of Al.
GETTOTHE50 Posted December 30, 2018 Posted December 30, 2018 lol mayock wants that gruden money and term

Ton of respect for him. The NFLN guys do a really good job on draft stuff - Mayock and Jeremiah in particular. Much better than the ESPN and CBS folks.

thebandit27 Posted December 30, 2018 Posted December 30, 2018 They took a hard run at him 10 years ago and didn't land him. The $$ would have to be HUGE.

The problem is that I would think that hire would represent Gruden wanting a paper man as the GM.

Doc Brown Posted December 30, 2018 Posted December 30, 2018 Mayock got pissed off at the draft gimmicks a few times so maybe he's had enough and wants a new challenge. It would be interesting to say the least.
