I guess I am the only one surprised that Mayock is fired since he took the Raiders to the playoffs for the first time in 5 years

He stepped onto the big stage and failed spectacularly in his alleged primary area of expertise. His reputation is in tatters.
But they'll probably hire him back. If morons like Michael Irwin, Booger McFarland, Steve Smith and Skip Bayless (I could go on, but I'm sure everybody gets the point) are on TV, obviously reputation and intelligence aren't deciding factors. |

I feel like the Clelin Ferrell pick at fourth overall in 2019 and the Damon Arnette selection in 2020 is what sealed his fate. He actually had some solid mid-to-late picks like Maxx Crosby and Nate Hobbs but Mayock squandered chances to beef up the roster even more by whiffing on first rounders. |

Clelin Ferrell at fourth overall was one of the biggest head scratchers in NFL Draft history if you ask me. A guy off the street would have taken DE Josh Allen there instead.

Thing is, they were playing us tough with Gruden. Shit kinda fell apart when he left. Gruden was probably good for 2 more wins. But yeah, me too, I thought Gruden drafted fairly well.

But I don't subscribe to that theory that a later find makes up for it.
The fourth overall pick is a high-percentage roll to land an All-Pro type player and he took a backup caliber, run defender. That can bring down a franchise. |

After Ruggs and Arnette, I'm going to highly discount any comments he makes about character.

The joke around Raider fans too is that Mike Mayock only scouted the national championship game tapes. A sizable chunk of his draft picks came from Alabama, Ohio State and Clemson.

Can't keep busting on 1st and 2nd rounders and expect to keep your job.
