Honestly, I think Mayock is smarter and more thoughtful in his straight-up evals of player potentials than Kiper and the rest. At least when he's speaking off-script - like when he's killing time with Eisen in the broadcast booth at the Combine. He seems much less willing to make authoritative-sounding pronouncements and firm predictions, when he does this, it often seems forced. He seems much more comfortable being balanced and nuanced in ways that aren't really part of the show that broadcasters want to put on.
He seems like the kind of guy who could be technically sound and objective, and work well with scouts, but also likely to be completely out of his element with management politics.
Where I think Mayock would be great is tweeting his player observations directly from Shrine Game and Senior Bowl practice weeks as they're taking place. Not just the games ... the practices.
After Gruden gets Mayock fired in two years, we should start a GoFundMe to pay Mayock to do that.
Mayock is good with college talant, but does he have the chops to do free agency, salary cap management, all the other staff positions, and dealing with the NFL office, and egotistical agents? I think he's in over his head.
