The Las Vegas Raiders made what some considered a risky move by drafting tight end Brock Bowers with the 13th pick, but head coach Antonio Pierce noted his versatility and pointed to the Kansas City Chiefs in defense of the pick, per ESPN's Paul Gutierrez.
"This is different," Pierce said. "You're talking about [two] skill players who can catch the ball, who can come out the backfield, who can do a lot of different things for you, and you see it. Kansas City does it a lot with their tight ends."
Bowers was a standout at Georgia, collecting 714 receiving yards and six touchdowns despite dealing with injuries that sidelined him for multiple games.
