This post I just found on another board summarizes how I feel about Mayock. He knows his stuff, just now to value/rank players. Ayers may be a fine run-stopping LE, but that's not a top-20 player in my book. Anyway...:
"I have never really listened to Mayock, I am so tired of these statements he makes, I have no idea what he did to become so respectable as draft analyst, the only thing he is good at is breaking down tape, that I must say he is amazing at... but you guys say in every thread where he says something stupid "Oh, Mayock does that a couple times a year." well its not a couple of times that for sure, he just sometimes has no idea what he is talking about. Last year in his final mock he predicted us drafting Mario Mannignham, /clap, only he predicted we'd take him in round 1, we got him 2 rounds later at the end of round 3.
When he breaks down film I listen, when he ranks prospects I think in my head GTFO, of course I am no draft analyst what do I know, but I am entitled to my opinion and thats what it is, I really don't think Mayock is that great."
