Mayock Comments on Prospects

[Menardo75]

I'm impressed most of Mayock's offensive line rankings are usually way off but with the exception of center this looks good.

Then you tons of quality guys after that who can fit certain roles. Woods, Patton, Swope, Terrance Williams (heard bad things about his practice habits, but talented), Dobson, Wheaton. Plenty of solid 3rd day talent after that too.

justin hunter is under rated. his ball skills are awesome

dont forget barret jones was playing next to the best og to enter the draft in while. that likely made him appear like the best c in the draft.

A growing number of NFL people, apparently.

I wanna see more from Terrance Williams before I put him that high. He pretty much only ran one route in college and he's way to weak for a guy his size.

Or so we are lead to believe. It only takes one.

I agree. The combo of his injury plus the emergence of Patterson worked against him IMO. Head, how about Ocean Lakes High School? Justin Hunter, Marcus Davis and Shamarko Thomas will all be drafted.

If he's healthy Jones is a solid second round pick. Keep in mind this guy has excelled at every position along that front line.

@nflnetwork: Mayock on @kcchiefs options at No. 1: 'It's [Chance] Warmack, [Jonathan] Cooper, [Luke] Joeckel or [Eric] Fisher.' #NFLCombine #NFLDraft

@NFL_ATL: Mayock: DEs Werner, Moore aren't top 10 draft prospects

@seankjensen: NFL Network draft analyst Mike Mayock said today he wouldn't want a top-10 pick but that there is quality later in 1st round and beyond.

Also, if Mike Mayock "haven't seen any really explosive difference makers" he obviously hasn't looked at Tavon Austin.

well he did lead the entire SEC in all purpose yards and made many SEC defenders look silly. he's raw but the he does have good hands something both overdrafted guys like williamson and DHB lacked

Draft guru Mike Mayock compares Cal WR Keenan Allen to Baltimore Ravens WR Anquan Boldin.
"If you like him, he's Anquan Boldin," Mayock said. "If you don't like him, he's speed deficient." He notes that the "only" question teams have with Allen is his speed.

Mayock's first list is always very preliminary with lots of changes to follow.

His hands aren't that good though. Or he doesn't use them at least. He's a very noticeable body catcher and this is a problem he will have to work on to succeed. I'm not a Patterson hater, I think he goes top 15, but he has to work on his craft quite a bit in order to utilize his natural talent.

Mayock does more 180s, 360s, and 540s, than a broken weathervane in a tornado. His flapping is worthless, if you look back at some of the stuff from a few years back it's hilarious.
