Raiders coach Klint Kubiak called Brock Bowers “a football robot from heaven.”
Are there robots in heaven? And why are they built to play football? Either way, it’s clear Kubiak thinks highly of his superstar tight end. He added that the team needs to get the most out of Bowers this year. It doesn’t take a detective to figure out Bowers will be the centerpiece of this team’s passing attack. The receiver room is led by Tre Tucker and Jalen Nailor. Both players are primarily deep threats who have never been the focal point of a pro offense.
Tell me again how we need that "#1 WR"...

Yuck. Guess this staff doesn't believe in Rogers or Grant yet.
It's just the 2nd or 3rd day of OTA's in May. Plus who knows who was lined up and where when they were closed to the media

Which is why I said 'yet'.
But Burford is hot garbage and Glaze is lukewarm garbage. Hopefully it gets sorted out sooner than later.
Great news. If he can lock up RT, that's a huge win.

From the reports out of camp, it seems as though seniority is playing a big role in the initial "depth chart". Rookies playing with rookies. More seasoned vets on "1st team". It's probably too early to judge how it's going to shake out when a vet seems to be ahead of a younger player in the ranks. But if a rookie is getting early looks with the 1's, it will be time to sit up and take notice. I don't mind that the young guys have to earn their way up the ladder - everyone is getting reps and it will shake itself out.
For now I trust this staff to identify and play the best players, especially on the oline. I'm not a big believer in DJ Glaze, but if Dennison pegs him as the best RT then I'll trust him at least until I see how it's working.
