has bust written all over him

not explosive and will struggle to get open against NFL caliber DBs...being drafted ahead of much better prospects in rookie drafts.

Like who? Hes generally a mid 2nd and at that point its a low percentage all around

He is a guy that I liked the film on and had hype early in the draft season, so there was a reason he was going early to mid 2nd. I don't know if he will bust or not, but he was a thing back in April / May.

With news of him struggling he'll probably fall to early 3rds

You're probably right. May was May, now is now.

They have participated in rookie camps and he was with the 2nd and 3rd stringers to work on route running

Yes, meh. Paying attention to depth charts for rookies this time of year is a losing game.

Besh never struck me as the kind of player that would stand out in his rookie year in shorts and shirts. His game is more physical. Hopefully that shows up once the pads go on.

In my SF draft going on right now he went 2.9, so maybe you’re right.

Thats kinda of high with all the negative news to be honest. I got some late drafts coming and hoping he falls later than that

I think I take exception to your use of "all" when you say "all the negative news". As if there were a lot of negative reports. You said it was a report, probably the same one repeated by multiple sources, about him running with the 2s & 3s. It really feels more like a "That's all?" or are there other reports about different things? Bad hands? Bad eyesight? Drives too fast? Hookers & blow? etc.

It’s a really competitive league. They don’t really react much to spring reports on guys wearing shorts.

And I haven’t really read anything particularly negative. More about the fact that he isn’t standing out while Thornton is standing out.

I got a couple of shares already, was just saying there's a chance we could get more at a reduced rate. I want the kid to succeed

 

[TripItUp]

People want Bech to succeed, I simply don't think he's good enough to excel at this level. We'll find out.

[ffmail4me]

I think Bech may be a good if not very good player, but he'll be at best the 4th option behind Bowers, Myers, and Jeanty for sure. So I would keep expectations somewhat conservative.

 

[DonFue]

The Bech situation could be being misread.

Thornton SEEMS to be a true X. Bech is not an X but there is still a glaring hole at X.

Meyers is a good WR but there is a glaring hole at one of Y or Z.

Bech has a clear path to relevancy, 2nd round draft capital and Smith has been WR-dominant with his targets in the past.

Drop him a bit for target competition but not much if going by recent info.

 

[osubuckeyeman]

He does fit a Chip Kelly offense. Patience will be needed. I think he is more of a year 2 or 3 type breakout.

Excellent day for Jack Bech today at @Raiders camp. The physicality really shows up in pads.

Any more news? Anyone see him in the pre-season game?

Fantasy Football 2025: 10 biggest reactions to NFL preseason Week 1

Excerpt:

Jack Bech is clearly WR4 for now​

Dont’e Thornton Jr. started for the Las Vegas Raiders, while Jakobi Meyers and Tre Tucker only played one drive.

The Raiders seemed to have the least depth at wide receiver last season after they traded Davante Adams. Meyers was the clear star of the group, while Tucker turned into an every-down starter, and playersl ike D.J. Turner and Terrace Marshall Jr. played some of the snaps in three-receiver sets. The Raiders reloaded at the position in the draft with Bech in the second round, Thornton in the fourth and Tommy Mellott in the sixth. It’s possible that whoever wins the second wide receiver job will have value this season.

Immediately after the draft, it seemed like Meyers and Bech would be the top two wide receivers, but early reports suggested Thornton was ahead of him on the depth chart. Thornton is a clear X receiver, while Bech is more of a Z and slot, similar to Meyers.

The Raiders started the game with Thornton as the X receiver, Tucker as the Z, and Meyers in the slot. After the first drive, Bech replaced Tucker as the Z receiver, and Alex Bachman took over in the slot. Thornton was taken out after the third drive, while Bech played the rest of the first half. While Bech has some experience in the slot, he was very consistently playing on the outside. This suggests Thornton’s starting job is secure, so Bech is competing with Tucker for snaps. We have seen several rookie wide receivers fourth or lower on the depth chart in the first preseason game who reach the starting lineup by Week 1, so it’s still possible Bech earns a role in three-receiver sets.

Even if Bech does become a starter, he might not play much in two-receiver sets. The Raiders lived in 11 personnel in this game, but Brock Bowers only played one snap. We don’t know how much 12 personnel the Raiders will run this season with Bowers and Michael Mayer.

Thank you
I got a draft going on and going to pass him for Arroyo; btw, Thornton was taken over Bech as well. Too bad, so much post draft hype; hopefully the kid turns it around.

 

[Dez]

Is he dead ? I took him in 2nd round in May and 3rd round in July now have a shot to take him in the 4th round today but also debating passing on him.

Thornton passed him and they signed Cooper. Clearly Cooper is likely 1 year guy but still what the heck happened these damn TCU WR's I should learned my lesson with drafting Reagor.

I’m wondering the same thing…. And I’m a Raiders fan.

Took him in the mid-2nd in May and I only have 1 share, but he seems like a roster clogger right now.
If Meyers does get traded (which seems like fake news) then maybe Bech has a better chance of starting at some point this year.

 

[Dez]

Took him at 4.01 probably a wasted pick but he has 3 years to sit on my taxi squad and do something

 

[dcgangstas]

From what I've been hearing from the Raiders Report podcast, the Beat Reporters are saying that Thornton has clearly out-performed Bech in training camp. D'Onte has been working with the 1s and absolutely Moss-ing guys in camp, while Bech has been workoing with the 2s and 3s.

Even Maxx has echoed the comparison to Martavis Bryant for Thornton. The catch that Thornton made in the Cardinals exhibition was indicative of that. A guy that's 6'5 and runs a legit 4.3 40? I'll take it.

 

[zed2283]

I got him at 4.10 last week.
