Few NFL clubs get the opportunity to sign a GM whose mock drafts and player prospects are a matter of public record going back nearly a decade. When the Raiders hired Mike Mayock as their General Manager Cheap Customized Oakland Raiders Jerseys , that’s exactly what they got. So, it’s somewhat easy to go back a few drafts and see what Mayock would have done with the Raiders’ picks had he been the one calling the shots.For this, we won’t strictly go by mock drafts. This isn’t a look back to call him out for how well he predicted all 32 teams in the league. That’s a pointless exercise here. Mainly because as a GM, you don’t get to order the entire draft however you like. You have to deal with other teams screwing up the order you projected. So, with that in mind we look back to the past six drafts. We’d go back further, but the Raiders didn’t have first round picks in the 2011 and 2012 drafts.2018 draft – 15 overallThe Raiders would also have liked to have had McGlinchey. But the 49ers took him with the 9th pick just before them Womens Kolton Miller Jersey , so they traded down from 10 to 15 and took Miller. But would Mayock have taken Miller in this scenario? Highly unlikely. Miller was his 31st ranked prospect who he had going to the Patriots at 23 overall after tackle Isaiah Wynn who the Patriots actually selected at 23. By far his top ranked prospect on the board when the Raiders picked at 15 was his 6th overall鈥ayock pick: S Derwin JamesRaiders pick: OT Kolton Miller2017 draft – 24 overallAt 24 overall, both Robinson and Gareon Conley were on the board. Mayock would have selected Robinson even though he rated Conley higher (11) on his board than Robinson (16).Mayock pick: OT Cam RobinsonRaiders pick: CB Gareon Conley2016 draft – 14 overallMyles Jack fell into the second round because of a knee injury. But Joseph had a major injury concern too. Jack was still Mayock’s 5th ranked prospect overall while Joseph was 19th.Mayock pick: LB Myles JackRaiders pick: S Karl Joseph2015 draft – 4 overallWell, this one was tidy. Raiders took the player he actually had them taking in his mock.Mayock pick: WR Amari CooperRaiders pick: WR Amari Cooper2014 draft – 5 overallMayock actually had Sammy Watkins to the Raiders in his mock draft. Bills traded up ahead of the Raiders to take Watkins, so he wasn’t available. Khalil Mack was Mike Mayock’s number one prospect in the entire draft and he expected him to be gone at third overall, but the Jags went with QB Blake Bortles. Pretty clear what Mayock would have done with this pick.Mayock pick: ED Khalil MackRaiders pick: ED Khalil Mack2013 draft – 12 overallOriginally the Raiders had the third overall pick. They traded with the Dolphins to the 12th overall spot. Mayock had the Raiders taking Sharrif Floyd at 3rd overall as he was his second overall prospect in this draft. Floyd was still on the board at 12 but Raiders went with Mayock’s 14th ranked prospect in DJ Hayden. While Floyd ended up falling to the 23rd overall pick.Mayock pick: DI Sharrif FloydRaiders pick: CB DJ HaydenNow that that exercise is complete, let’s compare what Mayock would have done with what the Raiders did.Raiders vs Mike MayockYearRaiders pickAll ProPro BowlsGamesStartsStarter seasonsMayock pickAll ProPro BowlsGamesStartsStarting seasonsYearRaiders pickAll ProPro BowlsGamesStartsStarter seasonsMayock pickAll ProPro BowlsGamesStartsStarting seasonsAs you can see http://www.oaklandraidersteamonline.com/...all-jersey , there isn’t a huge difference between the results of the Raiders picks while Reggie McKenzie was GM and those of Mike Mayock (though the 2nd round may have been another story). Mainly because the only 7 Pro Bowls to which Raiders players were named belonged to Khalil Mack and Amari Cooper; both of whom Mayock also would have selected. And as it happens both were traded away last season.The only difference is Mayock picking Derwin James over Kolton Miller. James was named All Pro as a rookie while Kolton Miller was one of the worst tackles in football. One thing about this team this year is it’s less likely they reach for need because they have needs just about everywhere.Follow @LeviDamien This was a must-win type of game, which is a bad sign for this team being that we’re so early in the season. A worse sign was how they responded to the situation they were in — with their worst performance of the season by far.They were held scoreless in the first quarter, adding a field goal early in the second quarter. That score was the only one they would have that mattered. By the half they were down 17-3 and by the end of the third quarter, the game was essentially in the bag for the Chargers.BallersDaryl Worley, Erik HarrisEven Worley had a couple miscues, but overall he had more positive plays. He didn’t get the start Authentic Marcus Gilchrist Jersey , but when he entered the game in place of Gareon Conley for the second drive, he made an impact. Just after the Chargers crossed midfield, they were in third and ten and attempted a screen pass into the left flat. Worley dipped and drove through his blocker to make the tackle in the backfield for a loss to force a Chargers punt.Early in the second quarter, after the Raiders tied it up at 3-3, he held the edge on a sweep to turn the runner back inside where he was stacked up for a loss of four. Two plays later, in third and 5 Womens Mike Nugent Jersey , Harris made the tackle on Antonio Gates and Worley came up to help stop him short of the sticks for another punt.The following drive Harris made a tackle for loss on a run out wide to set up a three-and-out. The drive after that began with Worley getting into the backfield to slow up the Melvin Gordon to allow for him to be tackled for no gain. A few plays later, the Chargers would score on a dump pass to Austin Ekeler he took for a 44-yard touchdown. Can’t win ‘em all.Up 17-3 in the third, the Chargers got the ball at midfield and quickly drove down field. An offsides by PJ Hall took them from third and nine to third and four and Worley made the stop on the catch short of the sticks to force them to settle for a 30-yard field goal.Worley only real mistake was giving up a 12-yard catch on third and 11 to allow the Chargers to drive for their final touchdown of the game. But by then they were already up 20-3 and would probably added at least a field goal anyway.Honorable MentionGabe Jackson — There wasn’t much doing in the run game, but Jackson had a few gap opening blocking and kept his man out of the backfield.Continue to the Busters
