2021 f irST -r ouND o rDer
Mike Mayock was named General Manager of the Raiders on Dec. 31, 2018, becoming just the third general manager in Raiders franchise his- tory. Mayock previously served as an Emmy-nominated analyst and draft expert for the NFL Network and handled color commentary duties in the broadcast booth for both college and NFL games before joining the Silver and Black.
Mayock applied his expertise in player evaluation immediately, providing his own stamp on the Raiders’ roster. Since his arrival, Mayock has signed 39 unrestricted free agents in the early parts of each year's free agency period to address the needs of the club. This year's free agency class was highlighted by Pro Bowl defensive end Yannick Ngakoue, wide receiver John Brown, running back Kenyan Drake, among other key additions on both sides of the ball.
In the 2020 NFL Draft, Mayock tabbed versatile wide receiver Henry Ruggs III and physical cornerback Damon Arnette as the team's two first- round selections. Both Ruggs III and Arnette saw significant time as start- ers as rookies, while Mayock rounded out his draft class with the remain- ing five picks in rounds three through four to add depth aligned with other positional needs.
In his first NFL Draft at the helm, Mayock and Head Coach Jon Gruden used four picks among the top-40 players selected to assemble a group of “foundational” standouts. The Raiders selected defensive lineman Cle- lin Ferrell from Clemson with the fourth-overall pick before adding Ala- bama running back Josh Jacobs and Mississippi State safety Johnathan Abram with late first-round selections. Mayock executed two trades on the draft’s second day to move back to the 40th-overall spot, selecting Clemson defensive back Trayvon Mullen and netting additional fourth and fifth-round picks. The Raiders were involved in five draft-day trades in total, trading up in the fifth round to pick Clemson wide receiver Hunter Renfrow, helping complete a draft haul that earned plaudits from around the NFL.
The Raiders’ 2019 draft class registered as one of the most immediately impactful in team history, producing the PFWA Offensive Rookie of the Year Award winner in Jacobs, while rookie defensive end Maxx Crosby, a fourth-round selection, finished the year as an AP Defensive Rookie of the Year finalist. As a whole, the 2019 draft class led the NFL in sacks (14.5), touchdowns from scrimmage (17), rushing yards (1,167), rushing touchdowns (seven), rushing first downs (60) and yards after catch (676), while finishing second in receptions (107), receiving yards (1,112) and first-down receptions (62).
Prior to assembling talent for the Raiders, Mayock’s NFL Draft analysis had been one of the most respected voices among media, NFL front office personnel and team scouting departments. His expertise featured within the NFL Network’s extensive coverage of the NFL Draft, including the show “Path To The Draft,” as well as the network’s exclusive coverage of the NFL Scouting Combine and the Reese’s Senior Bowl.
Outside of the studio, Mayock served as the television analyst for the Philadelphia Eagles’ preseason games since 2015. He also served as a game analyst for NFL Network’s broadcasts of the Senior Bowl and East- West all-star game, as well as preseason analyst for the Minnesota Vi- kings for several seasons.
In 2010, Mayock became the color commentator for NBC’s coverage of Notre Dame football, teaming with play-by-play announcer Tom Ham- mond. In January 2011, he teamed with Hammond to call NBC’s broad- cast of the NFC Wild Card playoff game between the New Orleans Saints and the Seattle Seahawks. The following year, he called an AFC Wild Card contest featuring the Cincinnati Bengals and the Houston Texans.
Mayock teamed with Brad Nessler to call the NFL Network’s Thursday Night Football package from 2011-2013.
Prior to joining NFL Network, Mayock served as a college football ana- lyst for ABC Sports (2001-03), Fox Sports Net (2000), and CBS Sports (1996-99). He also covered the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament as a reporter for CBS (1997-99). From 1993-95, Mayock worked on ESPN’s coverage of the Canadian Football League.
A 10th-round pick in the 1981 NFL Draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers, Mayock then played for the New York Giants from 1982-83. He is a mem- ber of the Boston College Hall of Fame, where he captained both the foot- ball and baseball teams. Mayock graduated from Boston College in 1980.
Mayock and his wife Amanda have four children (Leigh, Michael, Mack- enzie and Jack).

General Manager Mike Mayock enters his third draft in his role after joining the club on Dec. 31, 2018 and putting together one of the team's most successful draft classes in franchise history dur- ing his inaugural year. Mayock enters the 2021 NFL Draft with four picks inside top-80 selections: 17, 48, 79 and 80. The team has just one first-round selection (17th overall) for the first time in three years, after owning three in 2019 and two in 2020. With those five draft picks, Mayock and the team selected DE Clelin Ferrell (4th overall, 2019), RB Josh Jacobs (24th overall, 2019), S Johnathan Abram (27th overall, 2019), WR Henry Ruggs III (12 overall, 2020) and CB Damon Arnette (19th overall, 2020). The team has selected four times at 17, with their most recent selec- tion coming in 2002 when drafting DB Phillip Buchanon out of Miami. The Raiders' three other players chose at 17 include LB Ed Pine (1963), Hall of Famer OL Gene Upshaw (1967) and Raiders legend K Sebastian Janikowski (2000). In all, the Silver and Black has selected three Hall of Famers in the current draft slots they are positioned in: OL Gene Upshaw (No. 17 overall, 1967), T Art Shell (No. 80 overall, 1968) and DE Howie Long (No. 48 overall, 1981).
