The Las Vegas Raiders select Georgia Tight End Brock Bowers at #13. When healthy Bowers was arguably the most unstoppable player on offense in the nation at Georgia. The All-American was predicted to be a top-10 draft pick in most draft boards and the Silver and Black were able to swoop in and select him at No. 13. Bowers is coming to Las Vegas with over 2,700 total scrimmage yards and 27 receiving touchdowns. This pick could very well be the steal of the draft.

A huge factor behind selecting Bowers was his versatility, according to Telesco. The Georgia Bulldog lined up at tight end, running back, slot receiver and outside receiver throughout the duration of his college career. He also received a 74.1 run blocking grade from Pro Football Focus in 2023. “He’s got some natural football skills, combined with some high level athletic ability and speed,” the GM said. “We’ll be really happy to have him.”
