Raiders' Pierce Defends Brock Bowers Draft Pick amid Backlash, Highlights Chiefs Play

The Las Vegas Raiders made what some considered a risky move by drafting tight end Brock Bowers with the 13th pick, but head coach Antonio Pierce noted his versatility and pointed to the Kansas City Chiefs in defense of the pick, per ESPN's Paul Gutierrez. "This is different," Pierce said. Bowers was a standout at Georgia, collecting 714 receiving yards and six touchdowns despite dealing with injuries that sidelined him for multiple games.
