The board did not necessarily fall the Las Vegas Raiders' way during the 2024 NFL Draft, but it gave them a bona fide superstar in Brock Bowers. While Bowers was a blue-chip prospect, tight end wasn't really a position of need for Las Vegas after selecting Michael Mayer in Round 2 the year before.
Suddenly, the Raiders had an embarrassment of riches at tight end. The offense was supposed to be built around 12 personnel, meaning two tight ends on the field at one time, but it became the Bowers show last season. He broke records, but it wasn't conducive to much success for Mayer.
