Raiders Finally Address WR by selecting Jack Bech in Round 2

The Raiders selected TCU WR Jack Bech with the 58th pick of Round Two in the 2025 NFL Draft. A sturdy athlete at 6’1, 212 pounds, Bech does well making tough catches in traffic. Bech made waves as a freshman at LSU. He tallied 43 catches for 489 yards and 3 TDs, with the first two figures outproducing teammates Malik Nabers and Brian Thomas Jr. Bech’s production dipped the following season, and coaching changes prompted a 2023 move to TCU. After a quiet debut, Bech’s production shot up to 62-1,034-9 as a 2024 senior. Primarily playing outside, he tallied nearly 17.0 yards per catch and a healthy 2.44 yards per route run. He had a 9.50 Relative Athletic Score (RAS) based on his predraft testing. He also ranked 25th among Combine WRs in 2024 Target Share at 19.3%, and ninth among those WRs in PFF Receiving Grade with an 83.1. He is currently 22 years old with a Breakout Age of 21.7. He ranked 11th among WRs in our Draft Sharks predraft Rookie Model scoring a 6.94. Our Comp for him in our Rookie Guide is Allen Robinson. There’s a chance he develops into a real-life WR2.

Bech lands in an ideal spot as the potential slot WR for Geno Smith.
