NFL insider offers insight into LA Rams' failed pursuit of Raiders TE Brock Bowers - Getty
Brock Bowers was one of the most hyped prospects going into the 2024 NFL Draft. College beat writers were gushing about the tight end. NFL beat writers were somewhat skeptical as seemingly half of the hyped prospects don't work out at the professional level.
However, at least in his rookie season, Bowers has ascended near the top of the tight end pecking order. The Las Vegas Raiders ended up settling for the tight end instead of getting a quarterback, but it might not have ended up that way.
According to NFL insider Dianna Russini in a Dec. 27 post on X, another team sharing the same time zone as the Raiders had an interest in moving up to grab him. The Los Angeles Rams had interest in the tight end, but either lacked the capital to move up or couldn't find someone willing to trade down.
