With six quarterbacks taken within the first 12 picks of the NFL Draft, the Las Vegas Raiders shocked the football world by using the 13th overall selection on Georgia tight end Brock Bowers. While the Raiders could have used some help under center or at another position, Bowers was the best player available as he’s a dynamic weapon with the ball in his hands.
Of the former Bulldog’s 2,541 career receiving yards in college, 1,487 came after the catch and he averaged 8.5 YAC per reception, according to Pro Football Focus. In other words, he nearly picked up a first down just about every time he caught a pass.
