Three terrible 1st Rounds in a row when it comes to a value perspective.ย Yea I'm on board with a major change. Unfortunately Gruden likely is here long-term.

BackinBlack Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 put me in the; I hated this pick because it wasnt D camp. It sucks that Leatherwood was viewed so low, and clearly a reach by the media rankings, but I dont know much about rating oline.ย I wouldve hated Darrisaw, but it wouldve been nice seeing the media say it was a good pick haha. Darrisaw vs Leatherwood will be interesting to see down the road.ย 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mayock was a media guy, and has been a horrible GM so far who literally has no clue what he is doing. Iโm not even sure how that can be defendedย at this point, but I admire fans dedication.ย Didnโt you just pick DJ as the most qualified analyst? Dude played college QB and had 4 years as a scout for 3 different NFL teams. I love DJ but letโs not act like thatโs that much different than Mayock. Also IMO scouting OL is a whole different animal and not one that many people who didnโt play/coach the position do well. And Iโve even heard high profile scouts say just that.ย ย DJ also had Dwayne Haskins as a top 20 player in that draft and Abrams in the top 25.ย 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliforniaKid7 Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 (edited) From Brandon Thorn in Twitter who is consistently cited as one of the better strictly OL scouts in the game.ย ย Has him rated about where weโve seen but also says in a later tweet that his upside is legit and much higher than his initial ranking of OT 7 due to it being such a deep class.ย States that his athleticism is not an issue but it is all technique based and correctable...interesting. Could have sworn I heard it was the other way around. Once again, time will tell. ย Edited April 30, 2021 by CaliforniaKid7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big_palooka Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 The reported friction in the FO is no surprise. I said Mayock would be the fall guy this offseason after another failed season. Maybe Mayock has had enough already.ย They can say G and M are on the same page, but I don't buy it. Mayock is towing the company line.ย This whole thing has been a disaster. Maybe finally coming to a head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he shouldn'tย all of a sudden be surprised Gruden has final say and will take his guy at the end of the day.ย We all dump on Gruden hard but Mayock deserves some blame as well. He's not innocent in this mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big_palooka Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 The only thing I'm currently looking forward to is the 2021 draft where the Raiders will have a top 5 pick andย Kayvon Thibodeaux can be the player they pass on because they have a need a safety again.ย Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
