Same! I own Mayers and from this!I own 1.04 and hate this.
Why? Follow NEP 2-TE old system?
Makes about as much sense as Atl taking QB Penix

I understand the BPA pick by LV. With no QBs left they had limited options.Same! I own Mayers and from this!I own 1.04 and hate this.

Slept on it. Yep, love this pick even more this morning.Love it!
Doubt it, you can play two tight ends. They traded up to get Mayers and selected him early 2nd round, they would not see anything close to that in return. Bowers is more of a move tight end so they are vastly different in skill set. Brock will be moved around to find mismatches and Mayers will stay inline is my guess. I think the Raiders want to play big and become a tough-nosed smash mouth football team. This keeps their defense fresh and Mahomes/etc off the field. Football goes in cycles, and after years of speed and throwing the football the majority of the time we are starting to see teams revert back to an old school mentality. Chargers and the Raiders seem to both be heading in that direction. Defensive teams have worked to get smaller and faster, some offensive teams are going to try to take advantage of that big punching you in the face.So this means Mayers is trade bait?
He may just be a bust already, everyone was surprised last year when he fell out of the 1st and Kincaid and LaPorta both got drafted over him. Maybe there were some legit reasons we just didn't know about?So this means Mayers is trade bait?
It's a bad landing spot for fantasy value.
It makes a LOT more sense. Bowers simply was the best playmaker available. Forget “We only need one TE”. The raiders need young playmakers.Same! I own Mayers and from this!I own 1.04 and hate this.

I thinks it's great. Adams for how much longer? And then???It's a bad landing spot for fantasy value.
I didn't say I don't think he will be good, but I don't think fantasy owners did a dance of joy for that pickI thinks it's great. Adams for how much longer? And then???It's a bad landing spot for fantasy value.

There's still the question at QB. I'm afraid Bowers won't be start-able for awhile, but I think this hurts Mayer more than Bowers. He's still the 1.4 pick in TE premium in start 1qb leagues and the 1.7 in SF te-premium imo.I thinks it's great. Adams for how much longer? And then???It's a bad landing spot for fantasy value.

Using logic this makes a ton of sense. However I don't know what we'll get with Luke Getsy. He doesn't use 2 TE sets often. Outside of the weeks Kmet was injured, Tonyan's snap counts were in the 20-25% range. He had 17 targets on the season as TE2.Doubt it, you can play two tight ends.

I love this post and couldn't agree more. If I was worried about anything with Bowers, it was how he was going to be deployed. Maybe I'm making a mistake trusting the Raiders to be smart lol; but I think looking at the fact they just took Meyers and now grabbed Bowers, you have to assume they will be utilizing Bowers split out as well he should be. It's a seriously good thing for him. Not to mention the fact they are getting a guy who when graded as a WR, graded out as the WR3 of the class. And they will get to pay him a TE salary for it.Think this is mostly bad for Jakobi Myers value.
Mayer value...... look, it was a long shot he was gonna be a top 5 TE. LaPorta and Kincaid were the TE to get last year.
Need to call him a big slot fullback H back hybrid, so people can stop saying dumb sh:t like "they drafted Mayer last year"!!!
No one said Eagles were dumb for drafting Nolan Smith after talking Jalen Carter.
They. Play. Different. Positions. Watch Mayer highlights. Watch Bowers highlights. Not doing the same thing, fellas.
As far as QB and landing spot, kinda feels like Bowers routes are the ones that bad QBs need to rely on.
The concern is, are these offensive coaches able to have a plan for the two TE sets? Getsy ran a lot of 12 personnel in CHI, but adding Bowers really opens up creative options from the grouping. It's TBD if the coaches can really get as creative as this player allows them to be
Fields was traded for a bag of rusty tuna fish cans, so I think we should see what Getsy can do with a QB who is willing to throw the ball when the WR gets open.In the same breath though, I did chuckle seeing the words Getsy and creative used in the same sentence lol.
So more of a WR2 role with Adams? Where does that leave Jakobi Meyers?Not a TE. More like a super-sized Welker/Edelman/Renfrow.
and way fasterNot a TE. More like a super-sized Welker/Edelman/Renfrow.

Brock Bowers played 52.2% of his snaps in the slot, 36.6% of his snaps as an inline TE and 9.5% of his snaps as an outside WR at Georgia according to @dpbrugler, who compared him to George Kittle. He'll add versatility to the #Raiders' offense

"Brock Bowers was the biggest name coming out of Georgia. What did you think of his landing spot with the Las Vegas Raiders?" @mikegolicjr
"They took the best player available. I was shocked to see the Jets pass him up … Brock Bowers is a difference-maker. Nick Saban said Brock Bowers is the most NFL-ready prospect out of the draft. And I tend to agree." @DrewButler
