Several NFL scouts reportedly graded Brock Bowers as the best player in the 2024 NFL draft class.
Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reported Bowers' position "pushed him out of the top 10." The Las Vegas Raiders selected Bowers with the No. 13 pick in last month's draft.
The selection came as a surprise to most given Las Vegas' needs elsewhere on the roster and the fact the Raiders selected Michael Mayer in the second round of the 2023 draft. The Raiders also have no long-term answer at quarterback at the moment, with Gardner Minshew and Aiden O'Connell set to compete for the starting job.
