If he’s there, you take him. Will be a star for a decade or more.

I've only seen one mock where Bowers lasted to #14.

He's almost always mocked in the Top 10, and most regularly to the Chargers at #5.

Unless, he tanks at the combine/pro day, I don't think he'll even be a realistic option, without trading up (god forbid).

If he's at 14, 100000%.

As far as Bowers; yes, he’s a take unless Joe Alt, Olumuyiwa Fashanu

You had me at Joe Alt. All the premium OT’s are gone, then Bowers is big time yes.

Not if he measures 6'3" at the combine. That's not star TE size. Saw a pic of him next to Gronk - he looked like an office schlub in comparison.

I hope this pic scares GM’s away and he falls to us

Depends if a higher rated OT is there, but overall I would like that pick.


If Bowers is there that means that the higher ranked OT's are off the board..
I have been a big supporter of taking Bowers and it hasn't been met with positive reactions. This guy has success written all over him.

Teams don’t have the same grades on all players, if they did the draft would be predictable

Laporta is 6'3''.

Should be noted that Gronk is 6'6'' 260 so he's gonna make a lot of draft prospects look ordinary.

Starting OL/DL can be found in 2nd round, you most definitely take Bowers! He could be a top 5 TE

This is correct

Brock bowers/Jared Verse/ELITE OL


This is what I’ll be hoping for. I really think Jared Verse will be good.

If he’s there, you take him. He would likely be the highest rated player on the board. I think he will be gone though.

I think he and bowers will both be game changers. Verse reminds me of Khalil Mack coming out of college

yeah absolutely.

I dont think we win it all next year but I love him as a piece moving forward.

He is a true TE who can block and catch

Guys like Laporta,Kincaid, McBride, Engram, Kittle, Hockenson, are all 6’3”- 6’4”

Bowers is going to test very well and have elite arm and hand length as well

Not if Verse or JC Latham are still on the board.

Honestly it's way too early to talk about specific players.

The focus should be OT/Edge Rusher/ Offensive weapon for the 14th pick.

Whoever you have rated highest that is on the board at 14.

fwiw, I'm not certain the top taded OTs or DE's will last. A QB or WR could slip as they always do. If a top CB slips that could be enticing as well.
