Mike Mayock on Selecting Alex Leatherwood, Looks Ahead to Rounds 2 & 3 | Las Vegas Raiders

No you didn’t

@la tulipe noire I agree.

Does he go against your long arm theory?

I’m so disappointed

They can still get Mourig or J.O.C if they want but they better move up to get them!

Yeah it’s trading time

@JC Willie Gallery was atrocious. We always make dumb head scratching decisions especially last 2 years.

Terrible pick….FIRE MAYOCK AND GRUDEN NOW….If ya like em then that much trade back!!!! ZERO draft finesse…Ferrell all over again. They are more concerned with being the ‘smartest people in the room’ than producing a winner..F Gruden’s ego..Terrible pick. 60% chance Leatherwood’s there in the second round. Raiders can’t draft for shiate.

@Ulises Garcia follow the mock draft or pick with our heads either way the result is the same no playoffs smh

@stsitluc rsbuper I don’t think Mayock was lying when he said they were worried their trade partner might take him.

@stsitluc rsbuper That’s you just believing all the so called NFL Experts and the Media that hates us. Leatherwood won the Outland Trophy. You must not know what that is or you don’t follow College Football. It wasn’t a reach. We had picc #17. Did you see any Safeties come off the Board? No. Everyone was screaming for JOK & he is not a good tackler. I believe they had Zaven Collins on their board. But he got snatched by Cardinals. But everybody in the Nation knew we were picking a Tackle at #17. Derrishaw & Jenkins would’ve still been a reach no matter who we picced. Leatherwood wants to be a Raider, he’s not fat & lazy like Trent Brown, and he opened up lanes in the SEC! When we all see him & Ingold pushing The Donkeys, The Queefs, & The Chokers Defensive Lineman to the side so Josh & Drake can drive a Bus through it, you’ll feel better. You get The Outland Trophy for being The Best Tackle in College Football. Cmon now…whether he could’ve been there or not in the later Rounds. It’s about keeping DC upright. All Defense from here on out

Exactly, just being a quality starter

Same damn thing I thought.

💯🏴‍☠️

No pick is guaranteed to be a starter their whole career. He says that so that the kid doesn’t get a big head thinking the job is in the bag for him

Pp

@Tess Tickles The players the Raiders are drafting are not becoming Pro bowlers or all pros its not translating into wins , playoff success, or Super Bowl contention. The fans complain every year when the team doesnt live up to expectation . Well maybe the team will see some actual improvement if they start drafting better

@Tess Tickles Everyone had Kolton Miller as a first round consensus OT.

😂😂 exactly!! Mike said that like the guy was drafted in the 5th round!!

@Enrique Del Toro well and people got pissed that we passed on Derwin James for miller. Who has turned into a monster. Honestly this could be a great move but it will take time to see

@CobraMystic Gaming derwin is a stud but been injured alot…I’m good with Kolton he has been an anchor lately for us

@George Garcia The best ability is availability 🙌🏾

Tom Cable loves him so what but he’s not defense

Imagine if Kalechi Osemele was good enough in pass pro to play LT at Bama, that’s Leatherwood. His ability to maul guys cannot be coached. I like the player, it’s just the “reach” that hurts.

I did too. But I do get why they like Leatherwood.

I did too or Darrisaw

Maybe he didnt git the scheme

@retro Savy he might have as a tackle, but passing on him and Darrisaw suggests to me that they want another Trent Brown, a dancing bear behemoth.

Lol you guys LITERALLY reached over the best RT in the draft.

This is solidly hysterical, only because it is true, which is simultaneously extremely sad.

Cause Vern Jones is a better evaluator than Mike Mayock. Sure buddy, don’t quit your day job.

@Danny Di 😂 thanks for the advise. When anyone who matters offers me a GM job, I’ll make sure to tell them no because you said so. 👍

It is controversial because the media they knew that the media would be calling it reach because it wasn’t on their mocks

That’s not what he said. He said he knew it was controversial because he could hear the reactions while they were watching tv. I trust Mayock. Tell me the analyst that you believe knows what they’re talking about. All of the analysts got like 5 picks right. Crazy how someone like Adam Jellani thinks he’s so brilliant that he knows better than Mike Mayock. Everyone is a critic these days. Ferrell was still a good pick and is playing solid. They got Crosby in late rounds, Jacobs, Mullen.

People don’t want to hear the facts. Ferrell is solid as well. Highly rated by pro football focus. I still have faith in his picks from last year and year before.
