Raiders

The Raiders stocked up on tight ends by selecting first-round TE Brock Bowers a year after using a second-round pick on TE Michael Mayer. Las Vegas OC Luke Getsy described how Bowers can fit into the offense with other skilled playmakers.

“Brockโ€™s a unique guy,” Getsy said, via Myles Simmons of Pro Football Talk. “I think itโ€™s been said here plenty of times, he was probably the best player in the SEC for some time while [he] was there, and he won a bunch of games. Anytime you can bring that type of caliber player into your organization, youโ€™re going to get better.”

“And then you match him,and you pair him with the talent that we already have here, I think that just makes you more dynamic. This league is about finding as many dynamic guys as you can get on your team. I mean, thatโ€™s the goal. As you see the construction of all these teams in the league, everyoneโ€™s trying to find those dynamic differences. And I think heโ€™s just one of those elements that gives us an opportunity to do a bunch of different things.”
