We are used to the Las Vegas Raiders making surprise first-round picks.
But this one is different.
The Raiders have been famous for reaches and most have not panned out. This isn’t Clelin Ferrell, Alex Leatherwood or Damon Arnette.
This time, the Raiders made a surprise pick and it was because they took a player who was expected to be taken higher than he was. So, don’t be mad that the Raiders used the No. 13 overall pick on Georgia tight end Brock Bowers.
Yes, it may be a luxury pick for a team with other needs, but the kid can play.
