LAS VEGAS — The Raiders have selected TCU wide receiver Jack Bech with the 58th overall pick in the second round of the NFL draft Friday.

Bech started his college career at LSU before transferring to TCU for his final two years. With the Horned Frogs, he caught 74 passes for 1,180 yards and nine touchdowns. He projects as a starter alongside Jakobi Meyers.

Listed at 6 feet, 1 inch and 214 pounds, Bech is the second offensive weapon the Raiders have added, joining first-round pick Ashton Jeanty.

The Raiders traded down twice in the second round Friday.

In a trade with the Houston Texans, the club agreed to move from the 48th overall pick to No. 58. The Texans will send the Raiders their third-round pick at No. 99.

Earlier on Friday, the Raiders agreed to a deal with the Miami Dolphins to move down from the fifth pick in the round — No. 37 overall — to the 48th overall pick, in the second round.

The Dolphins also sent the Raiders the 98th overall pick in the third round and the 135th pick in the fourth round. The Raiders are sending the 143rd pick (fifth round) to the Dolphins.

As of right now, the Raiders will have five picks within the top 100, including Ashton Jeanty, their first-round selection Thursday, and their third-round pick at No. 68 overall.
