Jack Bech has quietly emerged as one of the more intriguing wide receiver prospects in this year’s NFL Draft. After flashing his potential in two seasons at LSU, Bech transferred to TCU and truly broke out in his senior year. Now, after impressing in the first two days of Senior Bowl practices, Bech has begun to climb up draft boards as scouts take notice of his skill set.
Proven Production & Versatility
Bech’s journey from LSU to TCU has given him experience in multiple offensive schemes, and his versatility is one of his biggest strengths. He flashed at LSU with 600 yards and four touchdowns in two seasons before breaking out at TCU in year four. His senior year logged 1,000 yards and nine touchdowns, proving he can be a reliable go to target and has played both in the slot and as an X receiver, showing the ability to win in multiple roles.
Skill Set That Translates to the NFL
Bech’s film showcases a well-rounded receiver who can contribute in various ways at the next level.
Elite Ball Skills & Catch Radius: At 6’2”, he understands how to use his length to high-point the football and make contested catches.
Polished Route Tree: For a player his size, his route-running is refined, allowing him to create separation in short and intermediate areas.
Strong Hands & Body Control: He consistently makes difficult catches look routine, showing strong hands and excellent footwork near the sideline.
Physicality & Blocking Ability: Unlike some receivers, Bech embraces the physical aspects of the game and is a willing, effective blocker in space.
Senior Bowl Stock Riser
One of the biggest reasons Bech is rising up draft boards is his performance in Senior Bowl practices.
Winning Against Top Competition: Bech has done well in one-on-one reps, proving he can play consistently against NFL-caliber defenders.
Checking Key Boxes: Scouts had questions about his ability to accelerate, and so far, he has answered them with a strong burst off the line and consistent route execution.
Areas for Improvement
While Bech has many NFL-ready traits, there are a few areas where he can develop further.
Top-End Speed: He isn’t a burner, which may limit his ability to be a consistent deep threat, but his burst and route running help compensate.
Consistency at the Next Level: His first three seasons were full of flashes, scouts will want to see if his senior-year consistency carries over to the NFL.
NFL Outlook & Draft Projection
With his strong Senior Bowl showing and tape that backs up his skill set, Bech is positioning himself as a solid mid-round pick. His ability to contribute in multiple ways whether as a WR3 or in a rotational role early makes him an attractive option for teams in need of depth at receiver.
With his stock trending upward, Bech has a real chance to continue boosting his draft position with a strong showing at the Senior Bowl and NFL Combine. If he builds on his momentum, he could become one of the better value picks in this receiver class.
