Davis Mattek declared Jack Bech a screaming Round-12 value, saying the rookie needs only to out-snap Trey Tucker to matter. Mattek loves the fit with new OC Chip Kelly, whose Eagles offenses annually finished top-3 in plays per game and top-5 in rushing attempts while still ranking second in total passing yards. A turbo-tempo system inside Allegiant Stadium’s dome plus six more indoor games in the AFC West creates optimal passing conditions. Mattek reminded listeners Bech actually led a 2021 LSU squad loaded with future NFL receivers (Malik Nabers, Brian Thomas Jr., Trey Palmer, Kayshon Boutte) in catches as an 18-year-old tight-end convert before smashing again after transferring to TCU. With Jacoby Meyers likely locked into intermediate work, Mattek envisions Bech handling the high-volume slot role on three-receiver sets, projecting “something like 65–70 receptions” if he logs even 70 % route participation. That rookie-year floor at a nothing cost makes him Mattek’s favorite late-round wideout in Best Ball tournaments.

Sam Monson labeled third-round pick Jack Bech a sneaky immediate contributor for the Raiders. Monson emphasized Bech 6'2", 215-pound frame, powerful YAC ability, plus acceleration despite average long speed, and refined route craft—particularly how he sells outside stems to win inside on slants. Monson noted Bech reliable hands and willingness to run through contact, projecting him as a chain-moving big slot who complements down-field threat Dante Thornton and could quickly become Geno Smith’s short-area safety valve. That combination of target volume potential and red-zone physicality makes Bech a deep sleeper in season-long leagues and a cheap best-ball stab, especially given Las Vegas’ thin proven WR depth behind Davante Adams.

Davis Mattek called current market enthusiasm for rookie Jack Bech "pretty aggressive," arguing that expecting him to out-target Jacobi Myers is unrealistic. Mattek reminded listeners that Myers owned a 25 percent targets-per-route rate last year and runs his routes in the same short-and-intermediate areas Bech will inhabit. Even in a best-case scenario Bech can be, at best, the third option behind Davante Adams and Myers. The Raiders also ranked 28th in neutral-situation pass rate, a team tendency that further squeezes volume for ancillary pieces. Without clear red-zone usage or down-field splash-play ability, Mattek capped Bech’s median at 60–70 targets and moved him down to a "cross-your-fingers" 18th-round dart, advising drafters to prioritize proven veterans in that range instead.

Rich Rebar admitted he took Jack Bech strictly because Day-2 draft capital forces the issue, but he warned dynasty managers not to overpay. Rebar compared Bess’s role at LSU to a glorified move tight end—manufactured touches, jet sweeps, and very little true wide-receiver tape. That lack of man-coverage wins worries him in the NFL where spacing is tighter. With Brock Bowers already soaking up schemed looks and Davante Adams still demanding volume, Bess must wait for Jacoby Myers to exit in 2025 before a starting spot even opens. Rebar labeled him a hold-your-nose pick whose best-case scenario is a 2026 slot share, advising listeners to shop the selection aggressively if anyone in their league is chasing draft capital.

Davis Mattek said Jack Bech is a sneaky second-round steal who could vault into three-wide sets almost immediately for Las Vegas. Bech posted a 32 percent dominator rating and 2.28 yards per team attempt in his lone season at TCU, then tested better than expected at 214 lbs with a 34.5-inch vert, 10.5-foot broad, plus strong agility drills. Mattek noted the Raiders’ receiver room behind Brock Bowers and Jakobi Meyers is Trey Tucker, Kristian Wilkerson and practice-squad types—"absolutely nothing standing in his way." Although Sim-score comps include several busts (Josh Palmer, Parris Campbell), Mattek still views Bech as a late-round best-ball and redraft dart with real Year-1 volume upside, especially once draft capital is factored in.
