For the best player available (BPA) truthers out there, Las Vegas Raiders rookie tight end Brock Bowers is the latest paragon of why going that route is best in the NFL Draft.
The Silver & Black did not need another tight end, considering it drafted Michael Mayer out of Notre Dame with the 35th overall pick in the 2023 draft. But picking No. 13 overall in the 2024 rendition of the event and with teams selecting quarterback prospects — a major need for Las Vegas — leaving the team out in the cold in that regard, general manager Tom Telesco simply couldn’t pass up on adding the best player available on the Raiders’ board.
