The Raiders selected Tennessee WR Dont’e Thornton with the 108th pick of Round 4 in the 2025 NFL Draft. Thornton led the Volunteers in receiving yards and led all of FBS in yards per reception at 25.42. His 4.30 40-time at nearly 6’5 and 205 pounds is extremely impressive. Thornton was a four-star recruit who headed to Oregon based on his speed and athletic ability. He never quite developed in Eugene, but he found some success as a deep threat in Tennessee over the last two seasons. He had a 9.85 Relative Athletic Score (RAS) based on his predraft testing. He also ranked 48th among Combine WRs in 2024 Target Share at 9.1%, and 18th among those WRs in PFF Receiving Grade with an 80.6. He is currently 22 years old with a Breakout Age of 18.8. He ranked 25th among WRs in our Draft Sharks predraft Rookie Model scoring 6.00. Our Comp for him in our Rookie Guide is Marquez Valdes-Scantling. Thornton is likely a one-trick pony in the NFL, but he may develop into one of the best deep threats in the league.
