Mike Mayock’s heavy draft investment in the secondary could pay off early

Raiders general manager Mike Mayock could have gone in any direction with his first two drafts — his dream job after 15 years of losing sleep over sleepers — but his emphasis hasn’t been subtle: the team needs to stop Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs. Not just now but for the long-term. He said as much in his introductory press conference:

We have to matchup better with the Chiefs in all key areas. We have to continue to improve our pass protection and our pass rush. I think it starts there.
