Several NFL teams want Mike Mayock in their Front Office

I'm not shy in my praise of Mike Mayock as the best draft analyst out there, and it sounds like NFL teams agree with the assessment.

Mayock told Joe Rose on WQAM Thursday (Via Omar Kelly) that he's had "three or four offers to join NFL front offices" but that "it wasn't the right time."

One of those offers may have come from the Raiders. Mayock was tied to Oakland as a possible successor to Mike Lombardi three years ago, although the team denied the report.

Mayock went on to say he'd be open to the possibility of joining a team "if the right opportunity came along."

Selfishly, we hope he sticks with television.

There are plenty of front office jobs, but only so many prominent TV gigs. We'd imagine it would be hard for him to leave. Working in television isn't as grueling, it probably will pay better long-term, and it has far more security.

I'm a big fan of Mayock, but you have to be careful with the assumption that a guy can do the job just because he can talk the talk (see Matt Millen).

I agree. A team could get people excited about having him there in the FO, but could end up majorly screwing themselves in the future.

True about Millan but look back at Mayok's drafts in the last few years... he was the only person to even bring up Beason and than called out on draft day that the Panthers were going to take him...
