It’s working out great for Mike Mayock....If your mock draft gurus were so good at evaluating wouldn’t they have jobs with NFL teams? Lol y’all gotta stop thinking those mock drafts mean anything.

It doesn't even mean he missed on player. It could mean he hit on a player and someone else is willing to overpay. Judging a GM on whether or not a first round pick is extended is short-sighted and silly.That might mean he missed on player. In no way is that evidence he panicked. Just no way to rationally draw that conclusion.
One such guru, mayock, consistently REACHES for Oakland. That's why I don't trust mock drafts.If your mock draft gurus were so good at evaluating wouldn’t they have jobs with NFL teams? Lol y’all gotta stop thinking those mock drafts mean anything.

I get it and normally, I agree with you. JRob has been able to find some unknown or late round gems: Kevin Byard... We were all like who? Same for Nate Davis, Jayon Brown, and Tajae Sharpe. All those guys however, after some research, gave us something to get excited about. There were at least some "experts" that were high on them. They were positions of need. They were super productive. You could see the risk vs high reward potential.Really don't understand why we're getting caught up in where these guys are ranked pre-draft. Jrob has been pretty good in the later rounds and this guy has some positives like very solid athleticism & high deep ball success.
No, because he was a standout all week apparently.So did we pick this guy because of one play in the Senior Bowl?

This guy and the ILB ... eh not so much. I don't see much to get excited about. I agree that you have to trust the GM more than the talking heads, but when the consensus of most "experts" had them ranked much lower, there is a reason for that. The production isn't great. The talent doesn't stick out to me. To make things worse for this guy, we traded up a good bit. With hindsight, we see only one team drafted a WR. That's high risk for what I perceive to be... medium reward? Like really? Do you see this guy being a pro bowler or all pro given the talent? I'd be super surprised/happy if he even becomes a solid 2. Tajae gave me more to get excited about. Hope I'm wrong.
From the little we can see, do you really think this guy is head and shoulders (3 picks worth) better than the other receivers available at our original pick, assuming he'd be gone? If you had to guess, would you think he'd be gone? Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think so.

So, don’t bother to send off that mortgage payment then?Oh no, Jrob gave up picks that likely would have been players that won't make it through training camp. The world is ending.
Gave up 3 picks to take a guy that wasn’t supposed to be drafted. GENIUS
All the player personnels are saying, there's an opening as GM in Tennessee soon
Yeah I know it’s crazy for someone to post an opinion on a forum, not like that’s the entire point of one...no disagreeing with JRob allowed. I thought Isiah Wilson and Kevin Dodd were both horrible picks when he made them, but I know, he’s NEVER wrong.It’s a shame you think you know more than JRob and you can’t even count correctly how many picks we gave up. It’s not 3.
Trading up for this guy is what most of us did not like. This team has holes and I am afraid we did not address them. Needed DT TE got 0.
I like the weaver pick but we could have used another OLB, pretty thin there.
