The Oakland Raiders will be on the spot this April, as they hold three first round draft picks, and six of the first 100 selections. This offseason, they brought in NFL draft analyst Mike Mayock to be their general manager, a move that was likely made due to his ability to evaluate talent.
Jon Gruden is a great coach when it comes to drawing up a game plan, but he needs to rely on other people when it comes to the draft. He does not have the greatest resume in drafting talent, and in Mayock, he has a partner that will not only give him input, but fight for the players he wants.
