The Las Vegas Raiders wheeled and dealt their way to five top 100 picks in the 2025 NFL Draft. After not having selections in mind at either spot, the team traded away picks No. 37 and No. 48 to the Dolphins and Texans, respectively, gaining extra selections along the way. When the dust settled and Vegas finally picked at No. 58 (Houston), TCU wide receiver Jack Bech was ready for the call.

Bech’s story was an emotional one. He lost his brother in a terror attack just under a month before he was set to showcase his talents in the Senior Bowl. Not only did he play, Bech hauled in the game-winning touchdown for the American squad and was named MVP. Now he moves on to the NFL and Las Vegas, who hopes he’ll provide more magic.

Bech is a deceptively big wide receiver, listed at 6-foot-2 and over 200 pounds. The 22-year-old played all four years of his eligibility, the first two being at LSU before transferring to Texas Christian. His first three seasons totaled just 835 yards on 71 catches with four touchdowns. However, as a focal point of TCU’s offense his senior season, Bech exploded for 62 catches and 1,034 yards. He checked off nine trips across the plane and a yards per catch (YPC) over 16.0.

The Lafayette, LA native is repeatedly referred to as a playmaking threat from anywhere on the field who should inject even more excitement into the Raiders’ “Black Hole.”
