No way raiders got chargers fans dream pick haha😂
Hilarious I love it
😂😂😂
I guess u were wrong lol 😅
bowers is undersized
The Autumn wind is a Pirate 🏴☠️
Notice how much they were raving about Brock Bowers leading up to the draft, but after we drafted him at #13, they've been raving about every other player instead.
They want to hate everything we do.
I noticed they hyped up his skills but never showed it on video. So this is just propaganda for a dude with marginal skill that's surrounded by top-tier talent.
@@drsinister4274He was Georgia’s leading receiver for 2 years. Watch the actual games instead of just analyzing media videos 😂
@@MrSilus2000 how many of those games were against a quality opponent
@@drsinister4274 You can look up his stats yourself bro I’m just making a point on the media.
Raaaaiderrrrssss! Keep that same energy bout Bowers. Love the pick!
Raider Nation got the steal of the 1st round baby! I am so happy living in Las Vegas to get to see what Brock Bowers can do he is an absolute beast. Now AOC or Minshew will have two good TE's plus Adams. Bowers is 6'3 240 lb and can run a 4.5 plus has a 40" vertical. He is a more athletic Gronk. Meyers could be the blocking TE and Bowers can be a pass catching TE and develop-tack on 20 lbs of muscle and also block because he can do that as well. The Raiders are solidifying the O line. The QB's best friend is a TE and he is on Mel Keiper's top 10 boar at #7. That is the positive of teams reaching for quarterbacks. Bo Nix was in the 30's in Keiper's big Board so we got a steal. I am happy the Raiders did not trade the farm for a QB.
Solid addition...a can't miss talent. Telesco is helping his qb and o-line with this pick. Yes Mayer is there buy I'm not sold on him. Bowers will push him and the team will benefit
Raiders are 🗑️ 😂
Who he gonna block . He is like putting a receiver at te😂
An who cares what Mel said. He said Bryce was better than cj😂
@@briananderson9650 Yep and by the way good call my guy they went JPG offensive line Oregon
Raiders got a gift. Teams fishing for a QBs, while a stud TE drops to 13
Free tendies
He's gonna be a household name for sure. It's gonna be fun to watch him in the NFL.
Chargers need a TE and Bowers is the right fit at #5 in the draft
I’d rather have Rome but Brock is a good pick too
Sigh, casuals watched Kelce in the SuperBowl and have a dramatic over reaction as to what the positional value of tight ends is. Look, he'll have a decent career and help teams win but those teams will rely more on chunk plays from their WR's . The Chiefs are 100 percent an outlier. Plus dude is undersized and could be a liability as a blocker.
@@justinmj6586casuals also discount a TE at 5 when Harbaugh is your coach... Like Kiper says, Harbaugh covets TE and we need one.
@@jayp.4381Especially with Greg Roman and a most likely more run focused offense he'll most likely have more impact in that system than a wr
@@justinmj6586 his blocking grades are higher than any other TE in CFB history
RAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDERSSS!!!!! I love how this pick is ok 😂😂😂😂. He's literally the next travis Kelce always freaking open yes Tackle is a need but we can get one next round A+ A+ A+.
Lol I thought Mayer was the next HOF TE when he got drafted last season
I hope the Chargers take him because he could easily become the best tight end in NFL history. Some mock drafts have them taking Nabers or Odunze but this draft is loaded with WRs. ⚡⚡👍
Got that right. Bowers is by far the best tight end but I can spot some very talented receivers who are expected to go in the 4th round. One of them is Luke Mccaffery
Best TE in the nfl?? Is he really that good I haven't been watching CFB
NFL history lol cmon bro. Lets see his numbers first at the combine. or could be a another hunter henry.
Top 5 TE from day 1, he’s a matchup nightmare
hunter Henry didnt win 2 mackeys and 2 national championships@@ADM-wt9cn
Bowers - only 2-time Mackey Award winner in history. Pass on him and you will regret it
Yes and hes going to chargers with Herbert and Harbaugh ⚡️⚡️⚡️
RAIDERS!!!! LMAO HAHAHA
@YONGWONIL1 and wasting his talent there under Minshew and AOC 💀🤣. All good tho, our Oline is 10x better with Alt and we got McConkey 💯
Laughable! 😂 Chargers hahaha!
@@joester4251 mcconkey is your wr 1 at 180 pounds lmfaooo
@Doors067 180 lb receiver who ran a 4.39 💀💀💀. Low IQ football fans and of course its the raiders 🤣.
Come back to me when McConkey and rice burn your CB's and an elite QB
Harbaugh gonna love him ⚡️
He’s definitely Harbaugh’s type of player. Bowers loves football, a huge team guy, extremely hardworking, tough and physical. Going to be a great pro!
anddddd he's a raider 🏴☠️🏴☠️
Yes he is... lmao
☠
RAAAIIIIIIIIIIDDEERRSSS!
Really wouldn't mind if the Chargers get him. It's either Bowers or Gabe Nabers or an OT, depending on how the draft goes and what Jim Harbaugh does.
Bro said gabe nabers 🤣🤣you mean malik nabers brother, gabe nabers used to be on the team
As a Georgia fan, I can tell you honestly. This dude is different. He is humble and hungry with unreal amount of talent. He isn’t scared to get hit, breaks DBs ankles, can catch anything thrown within 10 yards of him, and will run over everybody. I’m calling it now. He will go down as the best tight end that ever played football.
Let's not do that yet.
That's a stretch. He was pretty much schemed out of the SEC Championship game. All he did was run roughshod on shitty teams like Vanderbilt, Kentucky, and Florida. Not saying he cant be good but the NFL is different than the SEC East.
@@michaelatkinson6730he was “schemed” out because he was hurt….3x unanimous all American, 3x first team all sec….only tight end to win the Mackey award twice and he was a runner up his freshman year behind Mayer
@@autonomouspilgrimage6137 Dude said he is going to be the best Tight End in NFL's history. I'm just giving some reasons to pump the brakes a bit. All them awards in college don't mean cold beans in the NFL. Everything I said is still true.
@@michaelatkinson6730 and you said he was schemed out of the seccg without any context….i agree that he’s being delusional with the “greatest of all time” talk, but bowers did a lot more than just go off on teams like Vanderbilt the past 3 seasons
RAAAAAAAAIIDERRRRRRRRRRS!!!
The "dont take a tight end in the top 10" applies when you don't have a QB. Pitts had 1000 yards as a rookie with Matt Ryan. THe Chargers have a QB and Bowers would excel.
I think it’s more “don’t take tight end if you have other holes on your roster”
Williams will likely be gone and Nabers is an elite prospects (so is odunze)
@@user-bo5mf1xu6qdude we need bowers for the lack of weapons especially with our wr slots I see Williams heading out sure we can trade down and fill roster but I still wouldn’t especially for a certified stud like bowers
Would be smart for chargers too get a young play maker bc all theirs are getting older Keenan Allen Williams and ekeler they need Brock and another rb besides ekeler that more of a downhill runner
@@godawgs-33-18 ekeler is out we need to rebuild the run game
@@RedPillIsBack is he haven't been following his situation it makes sense now is a good time go get corum from Michigan but yeah all of your guys playmakers are getting older need to get some young guns with Herbert bc q.johnston didn't look good maybe he was better that I'm thinking but seemed like he has a drop problem plus too similar to Mike Williams imo
Him and Corum would make the chargers fun to watch
It’s time for the chargers to get that beast TE like almost every other good team has! This guy will fit our roster
Nope
Only way Chargers should not get Bowers.. is if Harrison falls. Other than that, Chargers cannottttt mess this up! If someone else gets both Harrison and Bowers then that sucks but I would say we trade back and stack up on players (or get Nabers maybe). Another legit (rd 4) TE is Dallin Holker, but is basically a receiving only TE. But if things go well… Chargers gotta get Bowers!
This guy is the best Tight end that I have ever seen in College. I hope he goes somewhere where they have a good/great QB and the NFL is filling up with them with the rise of the young QBs... I am not a fan of Herbert as a competitor, excellent tools guy, I would love to see him with Burrow in Cincinnati or Jacksonville with Lawrence....
No brainer for the chargers , let's go !!
Adams, Meyers, Mayer & Bowers Upgraded Dirty Dozen. plus Tre Tucker & Michael Gallup. Vet QB in Minshew he should do Pretty Good. Solid Running game. Who the defense gonna Double-Team? RaiderFan since 1967 We should win 9-10 games at least. Raiders playing RaiderFootball under AP..
⚡️⚡️⚡️
YES, hope he falls to us @ #5!! 🙏 Obviously, Everett & Parham are NOT the long-term answers @ TE for our team! ⚡⚡⚡
@@SeanTheDon-vj4kwhe will def fall to 5. What we really have to hope for is Marvin dropping to 5🙏🏼
@@SeanTheDon-vj4kw He'll be there at #5.. as long as the cardinals dont second guess drafting Nabers.. Boltup!⚡⚡
2 months ago absolutely
Raiders take him the media the next day: hes awful
He's a raider 😎
Man he is a stub!!!!….His dad wasn’t to happy my Raiders drafted him…lol…Loved it!!!….Go Raiders!!!!
Raiddddeeeerrrrssss!
After raving about Bowers for months....Kiper gave the Raiders a B- for picking him @13. LOL.
The hate is evident go Raiders
impossible for him to be a bust
I wanted nabers at first but when i saw bowers highlights hes the real deal future super te for the chargers !!!
always go with the reciever over the te in the top 10...
He IS the real deal, can play in the slot as a receiver, in the backfield as a RB, and a superstar TE. Now a Raider! 😁😁
@@grprather raiders needed a qb over te pick
@@gregfernandez420Yes but the three best were already gone and no guarantee that any others would be better than Minshew or OConnel. That said, we got a highly talented player that was projected to go far earlier in the draft. He may be the best pick of the draft in the long term!
Did that say the same thing about Pitt and Howard ?? Where's Howard ??
Herbyyyy!!!!⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️
Future CHARGER !!! He is a GENERATIONAL TE
hi is a raiders
He's gonna go to my Bolts for sure ⚡
He’s a hybrid TE/WR. Big whoop.
Jets have their OL settled. Bowers and Conklin in 12 personnel would be deadly with Rodgers/Breece Hall/Garret Wilson/Mike Williams in an all-in year. They can stockpile OL depth later in the draft and FA.
The Colts need this guy!!!
Rem whn NE took two TE’s. Wow! How were teams going to stop them?
Another Gem from the Bay Area.
He’s from Napa?
Brock is the best 🏈🏈🏈
Jets!
DCs preparing for Mayer, Meyers, Adams and Bowers. Good luck. AOC or Minshew don't even need to be exceptional with this talent.
Rivers had Gates
Herbert needs Bowers ⚡️
And they both won’t win anything in their careers
Herbert and bowers win a superbowl
Looks like hall of fame potential
I can definitely see myself hanging out with a chargers fan because I would laugh and kind of feel bad
Gonna be really funny seeing Chargers fans backpedal on this guy 🤣
Ahhh man. Thanks Raiders, thanks a million. Not only did you help us get Harbaugh. But you helped us solidify our opportunity to get Brock and if the other four teams get dumb. Maybe even Marvin Jr.
Who could the cardinals possibly take if not Marvin
😂😂 sorry we just drafted Bowers
Suckaaaaa
RAAIIIDEERRRRRSSSSS
Who’s gonna tell him???? 😂😂😂😂
A Raider now
R A I D E R S💯🔥🔥🔥
🏴☠️🏈Brockowski!!!!!
This is what they said about Kyle pitts.
Does ATL have Herbert as QB?
Herbert vs Riddler
We can take him off you guys hands as well. Bowers and Pitts as TEs for herbo
@@miquiztli3154 Ridder Batman
Pitts had Desmond Ridder and Arthur Smith while Brock would have Justin Herbert and Jim Harbaugh if he went to the Chargers.
I still believe Michael Mayer is gonna run the NFL soon.
Bengals need him
Bowers to the bears
One argument against him on the chargers is that a great TE gets 900 yds and 10 TDs in a season. A great WR gets 1000+ yds and 13+ TDs. It's more overall production. And the Chargers could use more production at WR
He's used like a WR. He plays all over the field.. He's basically a big WR.. TH-cam is your friend.
You get blocking production though too for the first/second level of runs
Yeah, but you can get 1000 and 13 TDs out of another receiver MUCH easier than you can get 900 and 10 TDs from a TE. Therefore, overall production would be higher with Bowers.
While at Georgia he caught anything thrown near him, and punished tacklers after the catch. He pancaked defensive linemen when blocking. He is a true team player, no ego. He is a huge reason UGA won 2 Natties. Could have been 3 if he hadn't sprained his ankle.
Imagine brock on the bengals man. No way he falls that far tho
There's certainly a small chance but if i think he falls to the colts he won't get past them
They said this about Kyle pitts as well 😂.
this guy is way better tre puts skills lol
I think Jatavion Sanders is gonna be special, tbh
Herbert to Bowers 💋
brady and gronk
mahomes and kelce
next up...
herbert and bowers
Phillip had gates give Herbert Brock
Las Vegas
Chargers at 9 ⚡️⚡️⚡️ meaning chargers would trade down with the falcons and still acquiring bowers
Only if a top qb is there
If Jayden hasn’t been taken, then trade with the Falcons. If he has, then trade with the Titans. Win-Win.
Next Kelce!
CHARGERSSS
CHARGER
Richardson ➡️ Bowers‼️
CMON TENNESSEE!
Chargers ⚡️⚡️
Chargers let’s goooooooo
Charger
Bolt up Brock
LFG RRRRRAAAAAIIIIDDDEEEERRRRSSSS!!!!
Get Bowers then McConkey & go all the way to the Superbowl 😂😂
Number one ⛏️.
This why the Raiders drafted him!
In May be a little late to the tight end position but how is Brock projected to be the best tight end in nfl history? Wasn’t Kyle Pitts the best tight end prospect ever? He hasn’t done much in the league besides his rookie year
🤔
⚡⚡⚡⚡
Brock
If Marvin Harrison jr. wasn’t in this draft. My commanders would take Brock
No way I draft a tight end at 5. You have to get Nabers here. The NFL tells you how much they value tight ends by not paying them as much as receivers.
Jim Harbaugh will prob pick jj since he’s partially slow
Raaaaaiidersssss
Not chargers, but RAIDERSSSSSS 🏴☠️
🏴☠️
Raidersssssssss
Guys need to pump the breaks on him.
Jets
Raiderssss ☠️
RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIDEEEEEEEERRRRSS!!!!
To the jets please
Harbaugh = Jimmy Johnson
I question the validity of someone who thinks a 40 time for an elite TE matter😂
and Kiper said Raiders made a bad pick at 13 since we had more important needs? Bowers was a Steal at 13. Many will bash Raiders no matter what they do
Top 10 Draft Pick TEs since 1994
1995 - Kyle Brady (9th) 1996 - Ricky Dudley (9th) 2004 - Kellen Winslow (6th) 2006 - Vernon Davis (6th) 2014 - Eric Ebron (10th) 2019 - TJ Hockensen (8th) 2021 - Kyle Pitts (4th).
As you can see all disappointments really other than Vernon Davis. Some solid starters there too. Top 10 pick for a TE is crazy! Upside is high but a HARD NO. Forge an identity, O’line or interior D’line. Become a bully.
Kellen Winslow was a disappointment? You must be 15 years old
@@angeliglesias5069 you’re thinking of Winslow Sr. the hall of famer. This is Winslow Jr on the list who played for the Browns. Look at his stats, definitely a bust.
Yeah TJ Hockenson, Vernon Davis were bad picks. SMH...You can do this for any position by the way and you would have the same number of busts %wise. That said, Looks like someone doesn't watch film. Very casual approach. None of those guys had the college career this guy has. He's the best college TE of all time and plays all over the field. Slot, outside and inline. none of those guys listed could do that. 2x Mackey award winner. only one in history.
@@ajpierre have you watched film on the recent TEs drafted in the 1st rd in college? Kyle Pitts was arguably better. All these TE listed were hyped to the max
Raiders
Reminds me of a modern version of Shannon sharpe
Guy is from my neck of the woods. I feel so sorry for him, landing with the Raiders. What a disaster for him. I wish he had gone to the Rams; he would have had a good coach, GM and culture. Now, he's going into a black hole, with an incompetent coach, GM and toxic locker room. He's a genuinely good kid. He deserves better than the Raiders. I wish him luck in a few years on his second team.
Steelers
Kiper’s record of guessing where players go after like Number 1 and maybe 2 is pretty abysmal. His is not to strategize about what each team needs specifically at their pick in the draft, but which players are great in a coaching and scheme vacuum.
Malik Nabers all day Tight end at 5 is foolish
If you knew Kelce was going to be as good as he is would you take him at 5? If the answer is yes, then you take Bowers at 5. He's that good. I watched every play of his college career including multiple in person and the guy always comes through and consistently makes WOW plays
Okay if Malik was AB and brock was a 6'2 Kelce who are you taking?@@richardmiller3146
