00:00Now it's time for some tight end love.
00:03To whom are you throwing all of this adornment?
00:07No, it's to Brock Bowers, man,
00:08who also made history this week.
00:10Brock Bowers was the only rookie
00:12to be named to the All-Pro team.
00:13Now that doesn't happen very much for rookies
00:15or rookie tight ends.
00:16He's the first rookie tight end
00:18to actually earn that honor since Jeremy Shockey in 1992.
00:23Throw up to you, everybody.
00:24Let's go, Jeremy Shockey.
00:26But an incredible season for Brock Bowers.
00:28He finished as tight end two in the fantasy space.
00:31Next year, I think there's gonna be a lot of people,
00:33depending on who the quarterback is, of the Raiders,
00:36where people are gonna start to look at Brock Bowers
00:38at spots 10, 11, 12, and I don't think that's wrong.
00:40Is he a first round talent?
00:42Maybe.
00:43Do I love him early in the second round?
00:44Absolutely, because I think he is going
00:46to be a distinct advantage.
00:47And you can only assume that the quarterback play
00:50is going to be improved no matter who it is.
00:52It's pretty bad to think that it might get worse
00:56year over year than Aiden O'Connell and Gardner Minshew
00:58and a little Desmond Ritter sprinkled in there too.
01:01So I think the Raiders, hopefully,
01:02are gonna take these draft picks,
01:04take this coaching search seriously,
01:06and try to rebuild this thing
01:07and put it in a better direction
01:09because the Raiders have been toiling away,
01:11for the most part, for a very long time now.
01:13And you have to go back to the Gruden era
01:15before they were, I would say, really relevant here.
01:18So it's a while now.
01:19So you're gonna have to continue to push forward here.
01:22And Brock Bowers is gonna be a huge part of that rebuild.
01:25He could be, when all is said and done,
01:27this next Travis Kelsey, right?
01:28I mean, Kelsey, we take him for granted,
01:30but he's had an illustrious career for over a decade,
01:34put up crazy numbers.
01:36Part of that, though, you know, Alex Smith,
01:38but also Patrick Mahomes.
01:40So if he can get his Patrick Mahomes
01:43or even something in the middle,
01:45Brock Bowers could have a very special career ahead of him.
01:48But congratulations, all pro is a rookie.
01:50As a tight end, that does not happen very often.
