Raiders GM Jokes He Used Magic 8 Ball, Not Coin Flip, for Bowers-Terrion Arnold Pick

Las Vegas Raiders general manager Tom Telesco found an amusing way to dispute that the team used a coin to determine whether to select Brock Bowers or Terrion Arnold with the No. 13 pick in the 2024 NFL draft.

Appearing on NFL Network's Total Access (h/t NFL.com's Bobby Kownack), Telesco joked he uses a "magic 8-ball and not a coin" to make draft picks.

Telesco's comment comes after Arnold said on The Next Round podcast that Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce called him after the draft and said team officials "had a coin toss" to decide between the two players.
