This is a pretty fun listen. No matter what he says you can tell he's under a ton of pressure to get this draft right because he used to be the draft guru . LOLOL. You can tell he's worn out worrying even though he says he's not. That being said i think he'll get it right for the Raiders and in two years they'll be easily 8-8.

Like I said, he probably didn't make those d picks and trusted his scouts and coaches on those picks I agree with you BUT he was the GM during those picks.:-) [Reply]
If this is correct then he is off to a great start

#Raiders are the 1st team since sacks became official stat in 1982 to get 10+ sacks and 10+ TDs from rookies in the 1st 10 games of the season

Mayock has done a pretty good job so far with his picks. And I don't see any reason why he won't in the future. Yes, he'll miss a few, because everyone does, but he'll make plenty of good picks as well.
What's funny is that if he hits on more than his fair share, a lot of people will denigrate his decisions, saying things like, "his scouts made all those picks; he had nothing to do with them," and if he misses any they'll say, "Mayock can't find talent to save his life; he sucks." Fans are stupid. [Reply]

How many other teams had as many early round picks as the Raiders? Make an adjustment for that and overall picks and I'd be curious if they stand out. [Reply]

Some truth to that but don't get pissy when Gruden and Mayock have the balls to go to the dartboard and take a shot rather than funnelling off 1st round picks every year in the quest for "surefire" FA's needing fat paydays. [Reply]

Trayvon Mullen, 2nd round pick, game sealing INT this past week.
Maxx Crosby, 4th round choice, just had a 4 sack game.
No matter how you slice it, these last few years of drafts are some of the best that the Raiders have had in years. But, again as its been pointed out. picking at the top of the draft is a lot easier to find better players than at the bottom. So they should be graded on some kind of sliding scale. [Reply]
