It is only a lousy pick because it didn't pan out, correct? There are countless examples of terrible picks in the top 5. It's not the defining moment of Mayock's tenure. Do we define John Lynch by his pick of Solomon Thomas at #3 overall? If we truly want to look back, the best pick probably would have been Brian Burns. If we look at Mayock's overall body of work, he was at least average and potentially above average if we were to look league-wide. His 2019 draft had 6 out of 9 solid or good picks and 5 of 9 are starters. If 2020 didn't see Ruggs be a complete idiot, he would have had 3 of 7 as good picks and 2/7 as starters. 2021 had 4/7 starters at some point and the jury will be out. Moehrig and Hobbs look like they could be pretty good. Hobbs might be an idiot though. Veach hasn't had any better of a hit rate than that, if we're being honest about it. Mayock's flaw, IMO, isn't identifying talent. The flaw is identifying character flags, and that very well could be the Raiders' entire system and not just Mike. |
