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.
