The Las Vegas Raiders were aggressive in addressing the wide receiver position during the 2025 NFL Draft. Not only did they select TCU's Jack Bech in the second round, but they added Tennessee's Dont'e Thornton Jr. and Montana State's Tommy Mellott in Rounds 4 and 6.

Thornton certainly garnered the most attention during the offseason, as his combination of size and speed is not commonly found, even at the professional level.
