Adds speed to Vegas' receiving corps
The Raiders selected Thornton in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 108th overall.
ANALYSIS
Thornton had modest collegiate production, though he did average 25.4 yards per catch with six touchdowns in his final year with Tennessee. The Raiders likely drafted him with a similar role in mind, as he'll be able to use his 4.30 40-yard dash speed to threaten defenses vertically, in turn opening space underneath for the likes of Jakobi Meyers and Brock Bowers. That may not mean a lot of production immediately for Thornton, but targets after Bowers and Meyers are up for grabs in the Raiders' wide receiver corps.

Goes to SF in Reuter's mock
Chad Reuter of NFL.com's mock draft 2.0 has Thornton going to the 49ers in the fourth round.
ANALYSIS
Thornton's a speedster who led FBS with 25.4 yards per catch in 2024 en route to 661 yards and six touchdowns at Tennessee. If he lands in San Francisco, Thornton would likely be used to stretch defenses with deep routes, freeing up more room for George Kittle and Christian McCaffrey on short and intermediate routes.
