mayock used to be my favorite analyst of them all

Gruden has to be behind alot of these, theres just no way

It's impossible to say really. Gruden definitely has final say but the drafting has gotten almost worse since Mayock has come aboard. Who know's what selections Gruden has overruled Mayock and what selections Mayock and his scouts have made.

One factor that seemingly is always mentioned is Tom Cable. He has a lot of sway in our OL picks and I really think he pounded the table for Leatherwood. I'm giving him a little leash as he has helped progress Kolton Miller into a very good LT. Funny enough the reaction when we took Miller was similar to the Leatherwood hate, but actually worse.

I just think between Mayock, Gruden and Cable, they have a braintrust which just hasn't moved with the times. They get excited about stuff that isn't valued as it used to be.

My biggest thing is that I just look at the positional value of some of these picks and I think that there is no way in hell that Mayock, as a previous talent evaluator, can feel like this is the best use of these assets. I get that they may fail Leatherwood at tackle first, but I have always viewed him as a Guard prospect. They've used 4 first round picks the last few years on a running back, a box safety, a guard, and a pass rusher who was never going to be a great pass rusher. Its just really weird.
