据报道，突袭者队在决定草案中在鲍尔斯和阿诺德之间抛硬币

据报道，拉斯维加斯突袭者队通过掷硬币的方式决定在 2024 年 NFL 选秀中以第 13 顺位选中特里昂·阿诺德 (Terrion Arnold) 和布洛克·鲍尔斯 (Brock Bowers)。据阿诺德说，拉斯维加斯向他通报了抛硬币的消息，但他最终输给了鲍尔斯。虽然总经理助理钱普·凯利否认了这一说法，但他没有确认或否认抛硬币的可能性，这使得实际的决策过程存在不确定性。

Las Vegas Raiders Flip a Coin to Decide Between Terrion Arnold and Brock Bowers in the 2024 NFL Draft

The Las Vegas Raiders have been meticulously constructing their roster this offseason, and their latest acquisition in the 2024 NFL Draft is Brock Bowers, a highly-touted tight end who was selected with the 13th overall pick. However, according to Detroit Lions' first-round pick Terrion Arnold, he narrowly missed out on hearing his name called by the Raiders, as they reportedly flipped a coin to choose between him and Bowers.

拉斯维加斯突袭者队在这个休赛期精心构建了他们的阵容，他们在 2024 年 NFL 选秀中最新引进的是布洛克·鲍尔斯 (Brock Bowers)，他是一位备受吹捧的近端锋，在第 13 顺位被选中。然而，根据底特律雄狮队的首轮秀特里昂·阿诺德的说法，他差一点就错过了突袭者队叫到他的名字的机会，据报道，他们通过掷硬币的方式在他和鲍尔斯之间做出选择。

Arnold, who was ultimately selected 24th overall by the Lions, recently disclosed that the Raiders informed him of the coin toss, which ultimately favored Bowers. Upon hearing this, the Raiders' front office swiftly issued a response through assistant general manager Champ Kelly, who vehemently denied the claim.

阿诺德最终在第 24 顺位被雄狮队选中，他最近透露，突袭者队通知了他抛硬币的事情，最终有利于鲍尔斯。得知此事后，突袭者队管理层迅速通过助理总经理钱普·凯利做出回应，凯利极力否认了这一说法。

"I cannot confirm that at all," Kelly asserted. "Terrion is an exceptional player, and I eagerly anticipate following his career. However, we drafted Brock, and we are thrilled to welcome him to our team. I am confident that every member of our draft room unequivocally endorsed this decision."

“我根本无法证实这一点，”凯利断言。 “特里昂是一位杰出的球员，我热切地期待着他的职业生涯。然而，我们选中了布洛克，我们很高兴欢迎他加入我们的球队。我相信我们选秀室的每一位成员都明确支持这一决定。”

The Raiders' decision to select Bowers over Arnold raised eyebrows among many observers, as the team has glaring needs in other areas of its roster. Despite drafting Michael Mayer in the second round of the 2023 draft, the Raiders opted for Bowers, a tight end position that is not considered a pressing priority.

突袭者队选择鲍尔斯而不是阿诺德的决定引起了许多观察家的不满，因为球队在阵容的其他方面有着明显的需求。尽管在 2023 年选秀第二轮选中了迈克尔·梅尔，突袭者队还是选择了鲍尔斯，这个近端锋位置并不被认为是紧迫的优先事项。

Arnold, on the other hand, could have addressed a more urgent need for the Raiders, as their starting cornerback duo of Nate Hobbs and Jack Jones has raised concerns. Ironically, Arnold's draft stock unexpectedly plummeted, allowing him to fall to the Lions after the Raiders passed on him.

另一方面，阿诺德本可以解决突袭者队更紧迫的需求，因为他们的首发角卫组合内特·霍布斯和杰克·琼斯引起了人们的担忧。讽刺的是，阿诺德的选秀股出人意料地暴跌，让他在突袭者队放弃他后落入雄狮队。

Intriguingly, Kelly's response neither confirmed nor denied the alleged coin toss, leaving the possibility open that it may have indeed been the method used by the Raiders' front office to make their decision. While such a simplistic approach may seem improbable given the extensive research and analytics involved in NFL draft selections, it cannot be ruled out as a possibility.

有趣的是，凯利的回应既没有证实也没有否认所谓的抛硬币行为，这可能确实是突袭者队管理层做出决定的方法。虽然考虑到 NFL 选秀中涉及的广泛研究和分析，这种简单化的方法似乎不太可能，但不能排除这种可能性。

Ultimately, Bowers is now a Raider, and Arnold a Lion, with Arnold expressing enthusiasm for his new team in Detroit. As for Bowers, his rookie campaign may face challenges if the Raiders are unable to identify a reliable quarterback to lead their offense.

最终，鲍尔斯现在成为了突袭者队的一员，阿诺德成为了雄狮队的一员，阿诺德对他在底特律的新球队表达了热情。至于鲍尔斯，如果突袭者队无法找到可靠的四分卫来领导进攻，他的新秀赛季可能会面临挑战。
