Stoked that the Raiders actually drafted the best player available regardless of position. This is definitely a change from past drafts. I still hope they give O'Connell a chance this year. The kid looked good for a rookie.
@JYoung-fl8fc you're likely correct, unless O'Connell comes out firing darts in camp. Minshew doesn't have a locked and loaded starter contract by any means.
Going with the best player has historically had a good track record. We’re heading for a 2 TE offense. Might as well jack that up, and it’s always a big help in blocking as well.
Raider fan here. I wanted a QB …but fuck it, none were there so we got a good offensive weapon in Bowers. I mean how can he or Mayer not be open? I’m on some wait and see type shit 👀🤞🏾
Plus if we draft a RB in the 3rd or 4th round to run committee with Zeus and Abdullah you can potentially have the ideal running offense that AP wants.
Nobody has been able to successfully run NE offense that featured tight ends Gonk & Hernandez. For 3yrs, that offense was so difficult to slow down. Hopefully, the OC can use some of those schemes using our TE, Mayer, Bowers, and Byrant. Go RAIDERNATION!
Absolute steal at this spot. Since all the QBs were gone might as well help Minshew with an absolute X factor in Bowers. Sure we should have gone OT or CB but those needs can be addressed in the second a third round.
Bowers is a stud. Raiders got amazing value at 13. My only concern as a Raiders fan is that we needed O Line help and Secondary help coming into this draft (along with QB). At 13 we did have the chance to grab the top projected CB in the draft. When you have Mahomes in the division, and you’re rolling with Minshew or O’Connell, defense and running game is gonna be your key to success. Last year we beat down KC with the defense. But they upgraded at WR in the draft and with signing Brown.
Man there’s no way you could suck with these weapons around you. Aoc or menshew just need to play a little above average. Let’s get a o line and another cb or rb and they will be good !
As a Raiders fan I'm good with the pick. He looks like a hall of famer. It wasn't the biggest need but I think you have to take that guy if he falls to you.
A+ grade, it's amazing that he fell into our lap. He was the best offensive player on a national champion team at 18 YEARS OLD and followed that up with a season as the best offensive player on a national champion team at 19 😂 he's a frickin football savant. Let's go RAAAAAIIIIIDDERRRRRSSS
I think best in history is dramatically overstating things. Even if people say that, they said that about Jamarcus Russel too. Would have preferred they got a right tackle
it's a great pick... they will use Meyers like a receiver and play them at same time... its plenty of o line and defense players to take from here... its 2024.. these players are versatile and the game has changed.. got to adjust and that's what we did...
As a long time university of Georgia fan, believe me when I tell you that you got a great player who will move the chains and score TDs for you. Your team is better with him.
we just got two tight end set if you think about it that's how patriots won they had the two tight end sets with Aaron Hernandez and Gronk and since they were so big that's how they won game and SB so l'm cool with this
Look at the history of QB'S in the 1st round, at least half will be a bust. Raiders didn't reach, they took the best player available and it was a steal at 13. The best CB was ranked as the 5th best available player available, and Bower was alone at #1, if thats the case, take the best player available. That's not rocket science, that's drafting 101.
U can’t mention kyle pitts not being good and not mention the reason y he’s not looked as being good….he have no qb and no good oc coach…now this year wen can judge him truly
This pick shows me that were arent interested in winning this year. This is not a pick to beat the chiefs twice a year. We need a qb and someone to block for that qb. Hell we need a running back more than we needed a TE 🤣 i understand no qbs were available. But how does this pick make us contenders in the afc west right away? This is a pick that tells me that they are slowly gonna build a team to compete im 2 or 3 years. Not this year. Poor devante. Gonna be wasted.
I can never dislike getting the best player you possibly can honestly
Stoked that the Raiders actually drafted the best player available regardless of position. This is definitely a change from past drafts. I still hope they give O'Connell a chance this year. The kid looked good for a rookie.
@JYoung-fl8fc You are likely correct, unless O'Connell continues his development.
@JYoung-fl8fc you're likely correct, unless O'Connell comes out firing darts in camp. Minshew doesn't have a locked and loaded starter contract by any means.
Michael Mayer - Brock Bowers - Jakobi Meyers - Davante Adams. This is about giving whichever QB starts, the best chance to succeed.
Tre Tucker is the guy to watch for the Raiders he started to break out the last quarter of the season last year.
Thanks to Aidan’s arm. If that was Jimmy G, *overthrow
@@youin24years bold of you to assume Jimmy G could actually overthrow a receiver.
Maybe not if they plan on using lots of 13 personnel. He may be the most hurt by this move if the other 4 are on the field the majority of the time.
Bowers is what renfroe would become if he fell into a radioactive pit and mutated in his final form.
lmfao I said the same thing. XL Renfrow
Cornfed Renfrow

Luke Getsey loves 12 personele, with MM and now Bowers they have the perfect 12 personele lineup
🎯
Raiders watching your videos
The only chiefs fan I can tolerate
They tried to trade up but nobody wanted to budge, so plan changed to BAP. I love the pick, helps with oline and passing game at once.
Exactly we even tried trading up with atl but they knew we were going after penix
Cooper Dejean and Kool Aid still available in round 2
Raiders fans not used to tacking BPA 😂 great pick!

@@ninja0329 Exaclty
Cooper dejean and Kool Aid still there in round 2 if we Go CB
Run the ball play action pocket passing and solid defense AP and Tom got it right. AOC. Or Minshew will win .
Loved your video on the advantages of picking BPA.
I think this choice will age well.
Everyone disagrees on bpa though so it’s still a crap shoot
@@BenvyiousBPA is probably the best strategy. Reaching in drafts translates to poor depth and a bunch of shitty players that you wasted picks on.
Solid video man. Thanks

This guy will be a serious mismatch for line backers , he's a Darren Waller times 2 . Great pick imo
They've spent picks 9 and 35 on TE in the last 2 years. Wild lol
13 genius lol and it was best available player
They could be a 2 man team powerhouse let’s see how it shakes out
I can think of more “wild” scenarios
2 tight end sets in this offensive scheme. It was a good pick, B-
Wild no…Stupid yes
Great pick! Go Raiderz! 🏴☠️

Hunter Renfrow is a free agent what do you mean by giving up on him did they not do that 6 weeks ago when they cut him
Man there’s no way you could suck with these weapons around you. Aoc or menshew just need to play a little above average. Let’s get a o line and another cb or rb and they will be good !
Agreed
💯
I would have preferred a receiver if we were to go offense, however, i totally understand the idea and i like the pick.
Is he a good blocker too? Or just good receiver
As a Raiders fan I'm good with the pick. He looks like a hall of famer. It wasn't the biggest need but I think you have to take that guy if he falls to you.
Also Mayer looks like he lacks athleticism so it actually was a need...
Either way people were gonna cry about whoever we took we tried trading up twice

Telesco drafts like he's playing Madden
i dont hate it nor do i love it
Crazy to me you can’t love getting possibly the greatest TE prospect in history.
I think best in history is dramatically overstating things. Even if people say that, they said that about Jamarcus Russel too. Would have preferred they got a right tackle
@@pigs6486he scored 6 touchdowns last year 2:57

Your team is better with him.
I like the pick as the Best player available. I think Renfrow was cut sadly ( I have his jersey )
He was, but he is still a free agent, so they COULD bring him back.
as a titans fan what did we do..
It got leaked LV was desperately trying to trade up and got denied 🚫
Proof?
Rapsheet said it live
I hate the pick not the player… we just drafted a promising TE last year.
FUAGA WAS THE PICK
This is the first time I've seen the Raiders draft BPA. I was 100% expecting them to pick Max Melton at 13 or something.
_All I’m saying is that he better not be used like Kyle Pitts_
Wrong team lol
I’m happy then.
we just got two tight end set if you think about it that's how patriots won they had the two tight end sets with Aaron Hernandez and Gronk and since they were so big that's how they won game and SB so l'm cool with this
The only reason im pissed is because we drafted michael mayer last year
RN4L🏴☠️
Hunter Renfrow isn't on the team anymore. We released him during FA.
We got our Travis Kelce. I'm ok with it. The draft just didn't fall our way.
He is going to be a monster in a couple years. B grade for me not a need but definitely going to pay off in couple years.
Why would another weapon for Minshew not be a need? Especially a guy with superstar potential…?
@@pigs6486 I’d prefer an offensive tackle for protection, but Brock bowers is going to be a beast.
Might have been a decent pick if we didn't already have 3 tight ends.
Mayer and Bowers

Hunter Renfrow was released
None wanted to trade. Why can't people just understand this. They took the best pick
Didnt you call this in one of ur drafts😂
*Good pick* AOC will do good
Better than leatherwood
We let Hunter Renfrow go over a month ago
Hunter Renfrow is no longer a Raider
No more renfrow he’s been released
Renfrow not on the team anymore
because?
for stupidity, pride ignorance,
choose one
U can’t mention kyle pitts not being good and not mention the reason y he’s not looked as being good….he have no qb and no good oc coach…now this year wen can judge him truly
Renfrow is gone
Trash organization just the like the Fakers we have the Faiders
Terrible pick wtf he wasn't the best player for their team, they needed a right tackle and one was there in Taliese Fuaga.
We don't need a tight end. We need a quarterback!
Nah a qb isn’t needed
They were all gone before 13 numbnuts
All the best QBs were gone. What you want Spencer Rattler at pick 13?😂😂
@@J96-1 nah, an OT or a CB would have been best
Yet another Player that’s gonna have his time wasted because we don’t have a QB to throw him the ball
Terrible
Should have traded back
1st round grade F
