As for Ferrell at #3, yeah I thought Allen was a better pass rusher and should have been the pick. That said, just about everyone had Ferrell as the #2 guy that year on the edge and a top 10 guy either way. Just about every other GM in the league would have looked just about as dumb as Mayock because he still would have gone high and the results are likely the same. Abram sucks is a ridiculous take man, not even sure what to say there. He made huge strides this year in coverage on top of being a good box SS. Mayock was far from perfect and not what I would consider upper-echelon, but he wasn't terrible. There are FAR worse than Mayock in this league and I don't know that he deserved to be fired, especially with a team that has failed to develop talent at more than a snail's pace. They needed better coaching. They better hope they hit on a stud GM but I have my doubts the next guy will be as good as Mayock and that's okay with me. That just helps KC. |

Mayock was an NFL scout at best. He was an insane hire.

Apparently Bowl Cut wasn’t paying attention when McDouche coached at the Cheating ****ing Donkos.

You have no ****ing clue.
Most boards were 1. Bosa - everyone on the planet knew he'd be a top 3 pick and wasn't a consideration 2. Allen 3. Ferrell or Gary toss-up 5. Burns - some had Burns #3 for scheme fit in a 3-4 6. Sweat - was a tossup with Allen on some boards or #3 until the heart condition came out and he dropped Mayock made the wrong pick, never refuted that. I'm saying a lot of other GMs would have looked like fools too. He was going Round 1, no doubt about it. And these stats are surely high-first-round caliber: 2018 - 55 tkl, 20 tfl, 11.5 sk 2017 - 66 tkl, 18 tfl, 9.5 sk 2016 - 44 tkl, 12.5 tfl, 6.0 sk |

Every college player touted for the NFL has stats. Ferrell lacked the stats that matter, measurables. He had no business going in the top five, let alone top 10. One of the worst picks in NFL draft history. |

I could find boards that didn't have Josh Allen in the top 20. I can find boards that had Zach Allen rated as the #2 DE. You can fit your narrative however you want, I'm just stating what I remember sans looking up his college stats. If you want to continue Googling history, I'd bet you'll be hard-pressed to find too many boards that didn't have Ferrell in the top 20, especially if you look at all the boards and their history and not the last one 2 days before the draft. The kid was highly rated. As I said before, Mayock may have taken the wrong guy but so too would have a lot of GMs right after him. That's the only point I've tried to hammer home. It isn't "revisionist." Use your Oxford dictionary via Google and ask yourself if I'm really being revisionist. As for Ferrell, I'm hoping the Raiders release him. I'd love for KC to pick him up and work with him. He's a really stout run defender, can get pressure, and can move inside/out. He needs to learn better pass rush and just continue to get stronger. I really don't think he's been coached up the best. Hell, Crosby should be a world-beater for them by now and he's just kind of the same guy he was in year 1. He's still really solid and a high motor guy, but I feel like he's a guy that could be putting up a handful of sacks more per year and just living in the backfield ala TJ Watt. |

Raider hire is irrelevant. Players in LV can't stay out of trouble. There too much fun there and the young rich athlete will **** his life up and the team will lose.

yeah, I immediately thought an NFL team, especially The Raiders, in Las Vegas was a bad, bad idea.

I looked up Daniel Jeremiah -- a former NFL personnel guy who is also well connected -- he had Ferrell to the Eagles at 25 in his final mock. I don't care about the 100s of boards done by morons. They don't mean shit. The only ones that matter are the actual GM's boards and finding the select few expert boards that most closely resemble them. My point was never Ferrell wasn't a first rounder. I never argued that. My point was Ferrell had no business going at No. 4 because he didn't have the measurables of an elite prospect. He was a 20s prospect, mid-first at best. The No. 4 pick is an opportunity for a franchise to draft an All-Pro, an impact, potentially Hall of Fame player, so those picks have be hit out of the park. It's not just about Raiders picking Ferrell over Josh Allen here. They also passed on Devin White, Ed Oliver. The pick was so lousy that Mayock should have been fired right there on the spot for squandering a chance to get a true elite talent. You knew Mayock screwed the pick when in his post-draft presser was talking about how Ferrell was inspirational leader like Ray Lewis. Well that inspirational garbage doesn't matter if Ferrell doesn't make plays, the locker room won't give a shit about that. |

Do you think the D problem could be players instead of the DC?
