Good day to you my brothers and sisters! Let's get right to the grades earned and not given for the 2019 Oakland Raiders season, which of course the handling of the General Manger position with the Silver and Black!
We must all first salute and pay homage to Reggie McKenzie! It is well documented all the great things this great man did for our organization. Taking over the one of the worst situations in league history for starters, and leaving it in one of the best situations possible for new GM Mike Mayock to carry the batan into the future, should not be underestimated and was a blessing to say the least! Taking over with no draft picks and leaving Mike Mayock with the most draft capital in the league was just outstanding! Leaving Mike Mayock with a legit, franchise QB, who is a walking MVP candidate is exactly what you are looking for. And also leaving Mike Mayock with loads of cap space, with no 'out of whack' contracts, made it so new GM Mike Mayock can take us to were our destiny lies, and that's becoming a modern day dynasty! All the success you are seeing Mike Mayock have this off-season thus far, a great deal of credit must go to Reggie the great!
Here's a summary of how great Reggie truly was for the greatest organization in professional spots, that's none other than the Oakland soon to be Las Vegas Raiders!

Now speaking of Mike Mayock, if it's possible to go from a great GM in Reggie, to even a greater GM in Mike Mayock, we have done just that! Mike Mayock is an absolute freaking stud and what he does! While Reggie did a great job being the general manager of the Oakland Raiders, Mike Mayock was doing a great job as GM for every team in the entire freakin league! And he's done so for the last 10 plus years!
Mike Mayock has more connections in the NFL, than just about anyone in football. Going back 18 years with Steelers GM Kevin Colbert, was one of the many factors and variables in how we were able to steal AB away from the Steelers as one example!
Mayock, like Gruden, have been in every NFL building over the last several years. Watching practices, breaking down game tape, evaluating players, talking scheme with coaches, ect. Knowledge is power my brothers and sisters and the fact that Chucky and Mayock have had these experiences over the last several years, makes them the most powerful head coach/GM combo in the entire freakin league!
On top of all that I just wrote, Mike Mayock is known by many, as the 'top elevator of talent from a football perspective' on the entire planet! Let that sink in my brothers and sisters. When we hit the draft, it's not a matter of if, but only a matter of time when Mike Mayock hits a grand slam homerun in the 2019 NFL draft, just like he did with free agency this year!
Mike Mayock is also a great communicator, who commands respect with his work ethic and football knowledge, and his desire to be part of a modern day dynasty is freakin contagious!
The late great Mr. Al Davis tried to hire Mike Mayock a few years ago. That's how great of a visionary Al Davis was, even his 80's. Mike Mayock didn't take the offer though. Mike Mayock's decision to join us in 2019, is directly tied to his relationship with Jon 'Chucky' Gruden! These two men IMO, are the greatest head coach/GM combo in the entire league!
Exciting times are back my brothers and sisters! And a big part of this excitement is new GM Mike Mayock! Mayock has already made a huge positive impact on the organization, and things are only going to get better!
The grades for the Stage 2 of the 2019 Oakland Raiders season, is none other than an A++++!
We are in good hands Nation! Mike Mayock has already energized the building, and is absolutely killing it in free agency! Less than 1 month to the draft, where we will put the finishing touches on the '1 year re-root' not the major rebuilding process many here were crying about all last season. More on that later!
Be good Nation and talk soon!
Go Raiders and in Reggie, Mark, Chucky, and
Mike Mayock I trust!
