Mike's never actually run a draft or consummated a trade or scouted a college on a Saturday afternoon in October Mayock needed somebody with actual experience AND no chance of becoming a GM again soon. Enter Ryan Grigson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's never placed trade-values on veteran players already in the league in a formal setting either... and I'm not sure Grigson is the first, fifth, 90th, or 1800th person with actual experience doing that I'd want to be going to for how-to's in that department?

Enter Ryan Grigson. It's clear the emphasis is on talent evaluation. Its Mayock's strength and Gruden fancies himself a keen eye of talent. I know nothing about the depth or strength of the OAK front office. How many nuts & bolts people they have to keep the trains running on time while Mayock / Gruden weed thru the players - but based on this hire, they clearly felt a need for an "Office Manager" type. Be interesting to read up on Mayocks opinions expressed following the Mack trade - about the trade specifically and the general changes going on / direction of the organization.

If Gruden makes the picks, but based on Mike's scouting reports, he's essentially paying for what he could have gotten for free watching NFL Network. What a boob.

They'll make the board together and gruden will split "tiebreakers" between players? That's what the interview implied. I can live with that.

Clear operating lines and defined job descriptions become real important fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoleINGout Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 I like the hires going on throughout the league so far with the exception being the Raiders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean if Mayock isn't being listened to and Gruden is just overriding him, I could see him getting tired of that real quick. If they play well together it might work out, but I'm with you that it's a bad idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtait93 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Gruden, Mayock, and Grigson.....what a cluster **** lol. May as well hire McShay and Kiper will they’re at it lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlNFL19 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 I'm actually looking forward to seeing how one of the "talking heads" does in the real draft, especially one who isn't the laughingstock Kiper is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty jaded to most opinions these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
