Raiders hire draft analyst Mike Mayock as general manager

Raiders have finally filled their vacant general manager position.

The team hired NFL Network's draft analyst Mike Mayock as their new general manager on Monday. 

Mayock has no previous front office experience but his thorough knowledge of college players has kept teams interested for years. He will replace Reggie McKenzie who the team fired on December 10.

Raiders finished the season with a 4-12 record with the 23rd ranked defense and the 26th ranked offense. They traded their top pass rusher Khalil Mack prior to the start of the season and their top wide receiver Amari Cooper before the trade deadline and are in full rebuild mode while searching for a place to play in 2019. The addition of Mayock will help some uncertainty in the direction of the team going forward.
