RAIDERSssssssss🤘🏼☠️
This is going to sound strange but I don’t think enough people are talking about this guy. Even though he is expected to go in the top twenty he is almost an afterthought compared to the hype some lesser players are getting. He has been dominant since his first step on a college football field
Balled out since a freshman
It's the run on quarterback insanity that happened that shifted. bowers by far was the Best Player Available at the Pick.
Hes a hall of famer. Go Dawgs
Welcome to the nation!
perfect complement to michael mayer. so excited to see how the offense looks with his skillset.
RAIDERS!
Special Tight Ends. Special Athletes. Special Players.
Bowers and Jackson-Powers are two ready-for-NFL type players that will make an immediate impact on the offense. Great picks.
He’s a dawg and that’s what AP said he wanted
LOVE THIS PICK FOR THE RAIDERS. LFG
I would make him the greatest FB Ever. DA, Mayer, Bryant, Myers,Brock, Zues and Minshew. Good luck trying to stop Rpos. I can’t wait
@@toyasparkman9727 Aidan as the starter
Whoever wins the starting job, have no reason not to score 24 or more points a game. I expect us to have the #1 defense in the league, so I expect a Superbowl 🏆
Great analysis by Underdog Football. Been rallying for Raiders to select Brock Bowers for over a month. Thank you Raiders. Let's go.
great breakdown
Dawg fan here.... The Raiders got the BEST football Player in this years draft PERIOD Most athletic play that he made was staying inbounds on the 4th down play against Ohio State on the road to the national championship 2 years ago
Bowers is a baller!
How was this video posted 8 days ago but he just got drafted today??
Wondering the same 😂
Probably just changed the title.
they change the titles as they get drafted
Edit the title🤯
Yeah they had to change the title. Because Raiders weren't even top 10 odds to take Bowers. No one expected the falcons pick. Penix was the Raiders qb target
Dude was spot on to where he was drafted
Nailed it
Underdog fantasy is clutch 👀
He ran a 4.48 40 in high school which would be 98th percentile for the position. I’m not worried about his athleticism
At what weight? On MaxPreps it shows 220 lbs
@@twiinlab23 220ish is probably correct, definitely not the 243 that he is now. But he’s also 3 years older and hasn’t suffered a major lower body injury - he’s definitely an above average athlete at TE.
@@cpewts Well, I question the juiced up combine weight where he didn't test (for any player, not just him). He did have tightrope surgery on the ankle so that seems major to me. I just really wished he just tested to either confirm or silence the doubters. But yeah, he's looks athletic enough to play at the next level.
He's probably a 4.55 with the additional 25 lbs. If he thought he'd nail a sub 4.5 he would have shown it off
I know my rams just signed Parkinson, but I would love to see bowers with Mcvay and stafford. Stafford has never had a tight end this talented and Mcvay hasn’t either. Mcvay already loves the tight end screen game. Now he would have the perfect TE for it.
Aren't the Rams White _enough?_ & I'd be *_S T U N N E D_* if the Giants don't draft him. They're not getting a QB but their off-season moves indicate they're building on what they have. They need a guy who gets open in the slot because of their bad o-line & QB who refuses to throw long.
@@choosecarefully408good take but we have about 67 slot wide outs. If we don’t go QB I want us to get Odonze
I mean how many years does stafford have left idk if we go Brock
Kyle piits was the best athlete we have ever saw at tight end. Bowers is the best tight end prospect. I think there is a clear difference.
Was mocking Tip Reiman to Raiders for the reason I felt he would be a great blocker and Mayer would be the predominant move piece. Turned out Telesco felt similar but with Mayer as the blocker w Bower Power being the chess piece. Brilliant pick. Telesco is a savant.
He is described by Kirby and his teammates at Georgia as being " not human " 😮
I absolutely love this pick
raiders.
Raiders 🏴☠️🔥🏴☠️🔥
Nation!!
He looks like a cross between Kittle and Laporta but FASTER
I know it’s not gonna happen, but I need this dude on the Bengals.
If they only had a QB to get him the ball.
Is this video from 8 days ago this dude says we drafted bowers
Maybe he changed the title
You can change the title in KZhead studio
Brock Bowers in Miami offense would be nasty

I don't really care about Josh's athleticism argument but Bowers is not someone you bring that up with. He has confirmed 4.5 40's and 40 inch verticals in his past.
are you new to this channel? these guys patronize/slight every yt skill player...they just cannot objectively talk about one without inserting color into it.
Guy's a basement dwelling 🤓 who doesn't know ball
I think Bowers could totally play 5-10 snaps a game at X, especially when you motion him back to the line on runs, then RPO’s, and also have those manufacturered jump ball scenarios for a typical X; no DB in the NFL can really man him up. I think he is going to be elite, and he’ll be one of those picks that teams earlier will regret passing on. The kid just plays football.
Holy shit 😭
tell us how you really feel about being told you don't watch tape josh 😆
Anyone going to mention the absolute observation haki the referee used to avoid the ball at 01:23 ?
Josh Norris has a young doppelganger in Bowers. Just hope Bowers' athletic profile isn't a match! haha great show y'all
Bruh had a 75 yard td on an end around 😂
He reminds me of Aaron Hernandez
How about showing some of his blocking skills?
When Nick Saban compliments them as being elite, I’ll take that in lieu of tape
I have the Brock/Brian Thomas dilemma you mentioned in this video. Dynasty 1qb PPR. At the 1.5 do I take Brock or Brian Thomas. No TE premium.
Brian scares me a bit. Has all the tools, but disappeared at times. Bowers? Dude shows up every game, hurt or otherwise. I think Brock is gonna make a lot of people sorry they passed on him. I said Bears trade back, and snag him, but I would still be stoked if they took him at 9. He plays ball. At the end of the day, you want football players.
Draft a TE from Iowa or Miami = profit?
If you cant get a rookie qb how do you make your qb better. Oh, get him a passing and rumming threat.
You make your qb better by improving the running game and buying him more time in the pocket. Offense Line should been the pick.
@@FrankR0925 Fuaga was the only one at 13 and he isnt the same caliber of player as Brock Bowers. Do you not understand what the tight end does? His blocking grades are incredible
@@johngone1nonly in this offense with the other talent that requires targets, the TE doesnt do much, to the tune of 27 catches last year. Wasted pick unless something changes.
@@FrankR0925 In what offense? Josh McDaniels? We have a new OC who runs 12 personnel packages a lot
@johngone1nonly the one with a mediocre line and backup qbs.
This guy needs multiple screen passes a game. Period.
He's a taller Jamison Crowder, which is no insult. Slot receiver with limited speed but great hands. He'll be useful.
I think you’re underselling him a bit. He’s a tight end at heart with above average blocking , elite hands, and high above average speed. And then you get into his ability for FAR above average YAC. He’s an all around athletic freak, he can play TE, RB AND WR/ SLOT . He’s going to be a problem for opposing defenses to scheme against. The dude is going to be a PROBLEM
With Gardner at QB the short passes are going to put Bowers over the top in targets
Why are you saying Bowers is a poor athlete?
Athleticism matters in athletics!
I think he's pretty athletic, no?
Thank you, Booger McFarland
4.5 40 amd a 40 in vertical (verified) as a senior on high school. I've heard he ran 4.53 recently and has a GPS tracked 21.5 mph top speed. That's more athletic than most NFL WRs at 6'3" 245 lbs
Nice to see you as 1 of my favorite shows commenting on my other favorite shows lol keep up the grind In the basement brotha !!!
I guarantee you the team that scores the most points will win the game
Broc is a great weapon,hope falcons realize that and consider trying Kyle Pitts out at wide receiver.
Rip
what team would maximize brocks full potential ?
Panthers
Bengals if Tee leaves
Is 1.07 too early to take bower if penix isn’t available. Dynasty SF. I do need a TE.
Penix isn't even in consideration that high in the draft
good chance Bowers is gone at 1.06 if Odunze gets a crap shoot spot like the Giants
Hmm, some speed, good hands, good in tight windows, mediocre top end speed. Sounds like a slot receiver. If only the Raiders had access to an elite slot receiver like Hunter Renfrow. Oh wait, we cut him for no reason after not finding a coach that could figure out how to use him. Good stuff.
Renfro was injury prone, had some costly TO’s, and frankly, isn’t close to the weapon Bowers is. Renfro was effectively replaced by a bigger, faster, tougher and proven player. Get over your Renfro crush, pal.

My upcoming dynasty super flex league I’m at a toss up between Drake Maye and Bowers. Picking from the 1.06
I have the 1.07 and in the same train of thought.
Unless Maye goes to MIN you def want Bowers in a SF TE premium (assuming you have decent QBs)
@@dantwire2117If Drake Maye slides to the 1.07 you take him, doesn’t matter who else is available
They probably won’t be there at 6
@@THExAndrewxOno shot bowers is valued over a top 5 pick in nfl. The qb is way more valuable in startup than bowers will be look at laporta and stroud
How did he know 9~days ago . . . [ Timestamp ] this . . .
So, based on Special TE = Special Athlete, we seem to be destined to forever chase that one TE every season 😅. Will we ever see a positional parity to a certain degree in the future of TE?
Colts looking like the right place 😎
People actually think he will fall after 10🤣🤣 future hof player bookmark it
How can you say this im a UGA fan and still think this is crazy
lol
SUPERBOWL MVP 🎉🎉🎉🎉
WTF Mark Davis !!!!!!! damm !!!!!!! dude we need another freakin owner one that knows FOOTBALL !!!!!!!!!
Would not be mad if the bears take him at 9
Not at all.
Jk to chargers
Sooooo Josh doesn’t watch tape, got it.
to the jets!
Athletic testing is a tool. That being said to me its a good way to ensure you meet the minimum level of athleticism to succeed in the nfl. Tape is really the only way to have any idea if they could be special. In addition I do believe basing draft pick choices on position market value is a good way to ensure you keep getting to mentioned in draft regret articles. Yes i know WR are expensive. I also know in the last 15 years the majority of Super Bowl winners most important revieving target isn’t a WR. So teams that pick any WR over BB (except MHJ) do not have a clue what winning football looks like.
Wow, bruh?
Dude didn’t look like he was excited at all to be going to Raiders when selected…..
I'm a Georgia fan, that's just his personality. He is very calm, doesn't talk much, just does his job and keeps his head down.
That’s kind of who he is though. He’s quiet, reserved, introverted,shy and rarely shows any emotions. (Like literally the only time I saw him show emotion in Athens was this past year v Tennessee where for 6 plays in a row they took cheap shots at him such as stomping a post surgery ankle, grabbing his junk post tackle and finally spitting in his face sent him off, he bench pressed a DE off of him and was going for blood) But dude is basically a football robot who just doesn’t show anything, 2 national championships and every post game interview he looked like someone just kicked his dog.
One thing to be noted is teams have GPS data on all the prospects. For guys like bowers that don't do combine style testing, they can compare his GPS data to guys that have high RAS like Ben Sinnott.
When’s the last time a 1st round TE was actually worth it? 😊
2024 Brock Bowers
Sam LaPorta
@@skolvikings5445 2nd round?
Dalton Kincaid, so excited for year 2...Go Bills!
When was the last time anything intelligent was said with an emoji at the end of it?
If he drops by chance because of a run on QBs and WRs and he’s available in the 11-15 I hope the Eagles trade up and get him . PhillyDawgs!!
No, goedert is fine.
Raiders got slammed for picking this guy? Fk them critics!
They had an L draft for not doing enough to trade up for a quarterback
Hunter Remfrow on steroids
Colts
Let me put it to you simply. If this guy can stay healthy and goes to a team with at least a competent qb, every team that passed him up that didn’t need a qb or picked Harrison, will deeply regret it. Everybody so scarred from Kyle pitts, but go watch his college highlights. Other than some flashy catches I wasn’t all that impressed.
That kid in LA hat doesn’t know sh!t. Very biased unfair analysis Kid needs to be drug tested
That pick suck what are the RAIDERS doing !!!!!!!!
Delanie Walker was not very big and he had a very nice career and I think Bowers has more raw talent and is a slightly better athlete than him
Chiefs should trade up and have him learn from Kelce and take over after he retires after next season probably
Don’t worry, you’ll see him at least twice a year now! 🤗
@@user-cb2kw8hf1l I’m a Titans fan so no I won’t lol.
What happened to drafting a skill position or player of need WTF !!!!!!!
They said they were drafting best player available, just say you don’t pay attention
Basically a tall Renfrow.
You mean to tel me you cant tell if a guy is athletic from three years of highlights, but you can from some stupid athetic test where he is just running around doing drills and not being defended or hit..lmao
Raiders had the worst Quarterback room in the NFL last season. Have done nothing to improve it. QB has been the biggest hole on the team and the weakest position since McDaniels ran Carr out of town. I guess we'll just look forward to next years top 10 pick and hope another QB prospect slides?
Bro you’re entire tirade about people saying you’re wrong about him being a “special” athlete and how it’s not confirmed by the metrics that scouts used is ridiculous……essentially EVERY advanced scout before the draft said that not on not is he a “special” athlete but he may be one of THE MOST special athletes to EVER come into the draft. So even the people who’s JOB it is to evaluate these young men have disagreed with you regardless of the metrics! I won’t say you don’t watch tape but I will say your bias dilutes your conclusions from the tape you watch. Literally every professional that uses the same metrics you do was saying he’s an absolute freak from an athletic perspective, for you to go against what they said has nothing to do with objectivity or your knowledge on the game. Do you think you know more than these people?? Are you high?? Maybe just maybe they might know a bit more than you and know some things that numeric metrics can’t tell you…..maybe have some hunting
He's going to the Lions!!!
He is a h back in the league
Do you know what an h back is?
@THExAndrewxO yes not playing tightend he was used more like a h back at Georgia are u lining him up to block Clowney or any other 6'6 6"5 dend??
@@turfdome2075 his blocking grades were phenomenal
And he has the worst starting quarterback in the league throwing him the ball 😂
Tbh he had Stetson Bennett for 2 years in college
well Bowers fantasy value just went to the shitter. I hate when great players get drafted to teams that'll kill their career
Huh? Raiders have history of having good TE's and Getsy's offense uses 12 personnel as much as any team. Davante Adam's, Jakobi Meyers and Mayer on his team.
12 personnel Getsy uses alot. Zamir White with the blocks will be a huge value pick in the later rounds if you spend high picks on other positions
The undersized guy who doesn't test but told just trust the tape. Same narrative I heard with Bryce Young.
Giving up on Bryce young after 16 games is crazy work
@@CoopDaSnoop I actually gave up on him when I saw the picture of him & Kyler Murray side by side pre draft. Said I'm not drafting this shrimp. So far, big win!!!! I think it's crazy to hold a declining asset in dynasty in hopes for a Baker Mayfield type comeback. Get out why you can!
😂y'all crazy brock is small and 4.7 speed at best. just not a wow TE in this class
at best? he advertised 4.5 and ran 4.5 the other day. but go on and tell us more.
Give Mommy her iPad back kid, you clearly haven't watched the tape.
He's special... Think what you want
Hes the highest graded TE in CFB history
What about Mayer? Wtf are the raiders thinking 🤭😂. Itsike they took him (bowers) because they didn't want others to have him. Hilarious. He was going to sit there a bit longer if they didn't take him. 🤦
I will miss watching him play football. His skills are already missed at UGA. GO DAWGS I say miss watching him because I don’t watch NFL.
They have mayers. He will not be in line
Can’t wait for the next Noah Fant to “take the league by storm.” 😂
C'mon man, Noah Fant has almost zero ability to break tackles while that's Bower's superpower. Bad comp
Two completely different prospects. Bowers in gonna go in the first with a loaded WR class speaks on how good he is vs the class Fant was with and wasn’t taken in the first. As prospects they’re in two completely different tiers
Two points: (1) Noah Fant was in fact drafted in the first round by the Broncos at pick 20; (2) It’s less of a direct comparison between Fant and Bowers, and more of stating how wildly unpredictable drafting TEs is. Looking at the long and storied history of outright BUSTS at the positions, it’s clear that most 1st round (or even, “generational”) TE prospects have skills that don’t translate to the NFL despite collegiate domination. Simply put, I think Bowers will join that long list of overhyped TE prospects that will have a career that’s more similar to Eric Ebron than, say, Greg Olsen or Vernon Davis.
@@Justadudd733 bad comp and bad points. These are individual players, and bowers skillset is far more projectable than any of the players you mentioned. Maybe listen to the video again, he’s objectively the most accomplished tight end of all time. He’s George Kittle with better route running, not quite the blocker but the athleticism is there and the yac ability is second to none at the college level
Kelce replacement for the Chiefs, time to trade up. :)
This kid will be a bust.
