He got a shot and proved he wasn't really.

I said "covering the draft"...

 

He's already proven to be good at that.

I think this was probably  a condition of harbaugh taking the HC job

I'm good with it as long as Mayock comes back to the NFL network. I like him for the draft. 😉

 

He and Matthew Millen ought to be a pair.

If only you could fire the owners, some franchises would stand a chance again.

I remember when the took Farrell a ton of picks too high, and said he was from a military family, like that made him better.   Or when they did their research on Arnette.    Then add in Ruggs.  Guy sucked and was in over his head.

Interestingly the way they worked it was Gruden owned rounds 1-2 and Maycock handled round 3 onward. 

Weird situation.

 

Where did you see this?

Why do people keep going to the Patriots??? It was 90% Brady and 10% BB. Most players and almost all coaches that leave are failures.

That's incorrect. Coaching has caught up to Belicheat now, everyone does what Belicheat used to do more or less by himself (20 years ago.) Belicheat was the first coach that really tore apart film finding everything you need to know. Now, everyone does it and even got better at it than Belicheat. 
 

No matter what though, Belicheat is a cheater. He ruined his career, imho..

Yeah, but he's a TV guy who actually got to make the picks and the results weren't that good. So how can you take him seriously?

 

He got a shot and proved he wasn't really.

I like his interviews with players and his personality during the draft. I think he has good evaluations of the player themselves, personalities, strengths and weaknesses, but at the same time, don't always agree with where he (or anyone else) ranks a player. Way better than Kiper in my opinion.

Mayock was Grudens errand boy and almost no real world football experience

Update - now fired 

Not shocking at all.

Mayock has a bit of a contrarian in him that's leads to bad decisions when he's not being objective.

Not quite so easy when you have to stand by your pics is it Mike

Could Mayock go back to draft analysis? Or did he lose credibility as a draft expert with the drafts he oversaw? 

That second question is a really good one.

Derek Carr is the biggest thing holding the Raiders back. I don’t see how firing people fixes that. They’ll always be able to sneak into the playoffs with Carr, but will never be real contenders. He’s good enough to win, but not championship caliber. It’s a tough spot to be in, because the QB position could also be far worse.

Maybe Mayock will go back to mock drafts? I liked him there.....

 

Go Bills!

I liked him there, too. I can’t be too hard on him because we have ZERO idea what was going on behind closed doors. What was on Mayock, and what was on the crazy egomaniac Gruden? I had never heard the idea that Gruden got the first two rounds, then Mayock took over, but if that’s true it wouldn’t shock me.

The 2021 Raiders go 10-7, make the playoffs since 2016...let's fire the GM.

 

Think this was more a case of hiring him because Gruden wanted him.  Gruden's gone so easy to get rid of him to and clean house of Gruden hires.

As long as they don’t hire from the Bills we good

[Call_Of_Ktulu]

Will the Pats get two 3rd rd picks for the Mayo pick. I think that rule is absolute horse ***** by the way. Hire the best man for the job.

[HomeTeam]

I've always really liked Mike Mayock, I've always got the impression that he is a rational person.

 

I imagine a lot of his draft gaffs has a lot to do with Gruden and him being the primary decision maker.

 

Selfishly, I would love to see him back covering the draft on NFL Network alongside Daniel Jeremiah.
