After the Las Vegas Raiders drafted Ashton Jeanty on day one of the NFL draft, with the sixth overall pick, they were one of the biggest winners in the AFC West among their divisional rivals and who they selected in the first round.

The Raiders decided to follow up on that pick with another player who will be dynamic for their offence in Jack Bech, a wide receiver from Texas Christian University. Although he was only with the TCU Horned Frogs for two years, Bech made his impact known and was one of the most productive receivers on the team.

In 2024, he had 1,034 yards on 62 receptions, his longest catch went for 52 yards, and he had nine touchdowns. He averaged 16.7 yards per catch and will definitely help the Raiders' undefined wide receiver room.

He will see consistent minutes as a rookie, and he's already projected to be in the starting lineup as their third-best wide receiver. Bech was in a press conference after the second day of the NFL draft, and he was asked what he brings to the table for the Raiders.

"All of my emotions, I'm not afraid to let out on the field. I'm not afraid to put my nose in there and crack a safety or crack a linebacker. I love doing those things and coming across the middle of the field, catching the ball, and knowing I'm about to get hit. I think that's where my dog mentality comes into play".

His mentality and physicality will be appreciated greatly by Raider Nation, as well as Pete Carroll and the new regime in Las Vegas. They need players who are striving to win and leave it all out on the field if they want to turn their franchise around and win more than four games next season.

Bech paired with Brock Bowers on their own will already shift how effective their passing attack will be, not to mention consistent quarterback play from Geno Smith, with the added benefit of having Jeanty in the backfield. The Raiders had to address their offense in the draft, and in the first two rounds, they did a magnificent job at not only getting players that fit the culture they're trying to establish, but also will make a difference early on.
