The Las Vegas Raiders took home the best tight end prospect in this years NFL Draft, Brock Bowers. He will join an already stacked weapon room for the Raiders that features talent everywhere.
Get The Top Tight End Prospect Brock Bowers
Brock Bowers brings a slew of talents at the tight end position and seems to do just about everything well. He should be able to come in and make a very quick impact for their team.
Per the Football Guys scouting:
“There’s not much Bowers is incapable of doing. As a receiver, Bowers excels, consistently flashing aggressive, strong hands after nuanced routes with tempo and separating ability through his stem. He wins at the catch point consistently, and he can bail out a bad ball with an acrobatic or unlikely catch.”
Most scouts have seen nothing but great play from bowers and that he has the ability to both block and catch exceptionally well.
“As a blocker, Bowers is tenacious, consistently displacing defenders and being a force in the run game. Bowers is an elite athlete with fantastic tackle-breaking ability. He can take a short screen to the house, a trait many tight ends don’t possess. Bowers has an NFL-ready body despite his smaller stature, with versatility to play both in-line and as a slot receiver.”
Las Vegas Raiders Have Some Elite Weapons
With the addition of Bowers, the Raiders now have studs everywhere featuring Devante Adams and Jakobi Meyers. Brock should fit well with the team, but it is still a mystery on who the quarterback will be for the team in this upcoming season. Perhaps it will be Gardner Minshew.
While it was predicted that the New York Jets would go after the tight end for Aaron Rodgers it did not work out that way in the end.
“He’s the top tight end in the draft but it’s hard to peg where he’s going to go exactly because he’s largely considered a top-10 type player but when I talk to teams, some of them are skeptical of whether he actually goes in that range or does he fall back to say the Colts at 15, the Bengals at 18? So, he’ll go fairly high in the first round but he might not be that slam dunk, top-10 player. A lot depends on the Jets because they’ve got Aaron Rodgers, they are all in for 2024. So, if they’re doing the long play they might take an offensive tackle or something that’s not as sexy and play for the long future but they’re all in now so if Rodgers wants a tight end, he might get his guy.”
It is official now, Brock Bowers is a Raider and he should fit perfectly with their system, they are only missing a quarterback now.
