It is odd to call a player drafted 13th overall as a steal, but that is exactly what the Las Vegas Raiders got in Brock Bowers.

From a pure talent standpoint, the Georgia tight end was a bona fide top-five selection. However, positional value took hold, and Bowers slid down the board as six quarterbacks were selected with the top 12 picks. Despite being the definitive best player available, Bowers would have to wait a bit for his name to be called.

Then, on draft night, the call that Bowers ultimately got was one he did not see coming.
