The Denver Broncos probably had a ton of interest in Brock Bowers during the 2024 NFL Draft cycle. Many Broncos fans also wanted the team to take Bowers. The tight end got taken by the Las Vegas Raiders with the 13th overall pick in round 1 - just one pick after Denver took Bo Nix.
Brock Bowers seemed to be a slam-dunk success for the NFL as a college prospect, and he may already be the best tight end in the NFL right now. On the Raiders in 2024, Bowers hauled in 112 receptions for 1,194 yards and five touchdowns.
