Raiders Draft Jack Bech After Trading Davante Adams

TCU wide receiver Jack Bech was selected by the Las Vegas Raiders with the 58th overall pick in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft after the team made two trade-downs. Bech had a breakout senior season with 62 catches for 1,034 yards and nine touchdowns, earning Senior Bowl MVP honors. He dedicated his NFL journey to his older brother Tiger, a former Princeton receiver who was killed in a New Year’s Day terrorist attack in New Orleans. Bech honored his brother during the draft process, including wearing Tiger’s watch and catching the winning touchdown at the Senior Bowl. The Raiders, having traded star receiver Davante Adams, see Bech as a versatile playmaker who can contribute immediately alongside Jakobi Meyers and Brock Bowers. Experts have praised Bech’s toughness, reliable hands, route-running, and resilience, making his selection both a strategic move and an inspiring story.
