A year ago, the tight end class was considered exceptionally deep. This year, it was Bowers and then everyone else. While you can't argue the talent, the decision is a bit of a head scratcher coming one year after the Raiders spent a second-round pick on Michael Mayer, who some regarded as the top tight end in a group that included Sam LaPorta, Dalton Kincaid, Luke Musgrave, and Tucker Kraft. Sure, the Raiders could choose to utilize a lot of two-tight end sets with Bowers floating around, but it's still a curious use of resources from the Silver and Black.
As a prospect, Bowers checks a lot of boxes. He has good size (6-foot-3, 243 pounds) and speed, and he filled a hybrid tight end/receiver role at Georgia, which generates some hope that the Raiders will find creative ways to get him the football. Ultimately, it's all about opportunities for Bowers. If there's a weakness in the rookie's game it's blocking, and because of that it wouldn't be surprising to see the more physical Mayer log more snaps this year. We've seen talented young tight ends struggle to make an impact *cough* Kyle Pitts *cough* and there's a chance that'll befall Bowers. He's a fringe TE1 with risk/reward potential.

Davante Adams Out Week 4, hamstring injury TE Michael Mayer Out as well By: Mike Krueger | Fri Sep 27, 2:34 pm
| | #Raiders WR Davante Adams (hamstring) and DE Maxx Crosby (ankle) and TE Michael Mayer will all be OUT, says coach Antonio Pierce: (Paul Gutierrez on X)
FFToday's Take: The hamstring injury strikes again. The Raiders will be without two of their best players against the Browns this week. Without Adams, TE Brock Bowers and Jakobi Meyers are likely to be the top passing game targets with extra snaps given to Tre Tucker and D.J. Turner. Meyers is a reasonable Flex or WR3 option this week.
