Which is weird, because he's not the classic "short and slow" (4103, 4.41) prospect that Mayock consistently whiffs on.

I mean, he's not tall and fast either, he's just kind of average.

[SenorGato]

Many any of those three '09 safeties would be cool on the Jets...How'd we miss them? Oh yeah they all went pretty high and we were busy chasing the Sanchez.

Narrative scouting.

The guys at NFLN didnt like Newton so they had to go with someone as the top QB. Mayock liked Locker quite a bit but that would mean going against what the establishment there was saying was crazy. I think Gabbert was the default number 1 and he ended up being the 3rd guy taken at that position. To me they lost a lot of their credibility during that whole process.

As for the Kalil below Reiff debate i honesly didnt see as much of Iowa this year as i did the year before but i like Reiff a lot. My preferance though would be Kalil. He has great footwork and hands and has a bit of a mean streak.

As were everyone's. That 2009 draft was baaaad.

[San Diego Chicken]

Mayock's been a lot busier lately so his rankings have slid down in my opinion from where he once was. Kiper's solidly ahead of him in the last few drafts.

[ChiFan24]

Am I the only one completely baffled by James Brown? That's gotta be a mistake, right? He probably meant Mike Adams.

[ChiFan24]

edit: Or maybe not. Apparently I just don't watch enough Sun Belt.

On the actual NFL Network when I was watching it he had Mike Adams as 4 so yes, that must be a mistake.

Oh, okay. That makes a lot more sense.

At 4 feet 10 3/8th inches I have to disagree... he's short.

(yeah, I know it's a typo... that's 5103)

Interesting because Shonn Greene went to Iowa

[SchizophrenicBatman]

Did I miss something or did he leave Aldon Smith off his rankings last year?

[Roddoliver]

And Ryan Kerrigan too.

[Complex]

I thought he had Aldon Smith in his ranking and Cam Newton as his #1 QB.

Those have to be an older version of his rankings. I specifically remember Mayock being a huge fan of Kerrigan (pretty easy to remember him talking about Kerrigan with the thick Northeastern accent of his). Dunno about Smith though.

At a guess, Mayock was thinking of Kerrigan as a DE not an OLB, being skeptical of his ability to play in space (as many were), and wasn't making a distinction between the guys he rated high as 5-techs (Watt, Jordan) and the guys who project as more traditional ends in an even front.
