Maybe when we fire Veach in a year or 2 we can hire Mel Kiper!

We should have hired Louis Riddick. He loves Mahomes and would not stand for Sutton.

There's no way I'd leave the cushy job I've got on TV if I'm Mayock, but maybe he wants the challenge. He'd also have to deal with a power struggle between him and Chucky.
He'll certainly have picks to work with. |

He tends to scour film and his job has been essentially a talent scout for a long time now. So if you want a scout, sure I guess. Now factor in never dealing with contracts, etc. and there's a potential for some trouble.

And I'm sure he's got a ton of contacts after not being connected with a team. Hell, people might have told him more because he wasn't connected to any team...

One of the Denver Broncos reporters did a comparison of the Elway drafts vs. what Mayock had mocked to the Broncos (who he would have drafted) and there was a minimal difference. So as bad has Elway has been at drafts (according to the Denver fans), it's not like Mayock is some wizard who hits on every single pick. As you stated, it all sounds fine and dandy when you can spout knowledge about players but have no real accountability when or if they are a bust. There is a reason these guys are mostly talking heads and not a general manager of an NFL franchise. And I'm really curious to see if he is also managing the cap and contracts. As we saw from Dorsey, that is much more difficult than evaluating talent.

The draft picks are slotted and he won't have to worry too much about contracts and the like. They can lean on the draft for the most part. As time goes on though he'll have to learn quick the other 299 areas of being a GM...

We were rumored to be interested in Louis Riddick prior to hiring Veach. I hope he's still available if we end up firing Veach some time in the future.
