Draft Analyst Mike Mayock to become Raiders new GM

[Lion8286]

The Oakland Raiders are hiring NFL Network draft analyst Mike Mayock as their general manager, league sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Raiders coach Jon Gruden called Mayock a "passionate personnel man" following his team's season-ending 35-3 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.

"He loves it," Gruden said. "He has done it for a long time. I know he has had opportunities to get back into the NFL as a general manager. We will see what happens. We will see how the dust settles."

Great hire, and I hope he succeeds. He does a great job and many people know it around the league. His daughter is a PSU grad as well .

Raiders have several picks in the 2019 draft, including 3 in the 1st round, their own at #4 and trades from the Cowboys and Bears, which likely will be picks in the mid-to-late 20s

Mayock may be one of the most knowledgeable guys out there on college draft prospects

He's working with Gruden. Chances are he'll have his spot back on the Network after 5 games into the season.
