ESPN's Adam Schefter and Field Yates report that NFL Network's Mike Mayock has "emerged as a candidate" for the Redskins' GM job.
Mayock, 58, has been working at NFL Network since 2005 and been involved as a broadcaster for Notre Dame games and Thursday Night Football. Known as a "draft guru," Mayock's star has dimmed recently, as he likely simply doesn't have the time to devote to full-blown draft study with all of his other commitments. But a notorious tape-watcher, Mayock interviewed way back when for a job in the Raiders' front office when now-deceased owner Al Davis was running the show. If John Lynch can be hired right out of the FOX booth with zero personnel experience, we wouldn't put it past Mayock landing a similar gig.
