NBC SportsRaiders.com reporter Levi Edwards said WR Dont'e Thornton Jr. "has already become a top target" for Geno Smith.

Edwards writes, Thornton is "using his speed to get vertical down the field," towers "over smaller defenders in the middle of the field and [uses] his acceleration to create separation consistently." Questioning Thornton's 2025 fantasy impact is reasonable. In a best-case outcome, Thornton would likely be operating as the No. 4 receiving weapon behind Brock Bowers, Jakobi Meyers and Ashton Jeanty, leaving him with an unreliable target share. Still, this is the second positive report on Thornton in as many weeks. Perhaps, the Raiders found a starter in the fourth round. Stay tuned.
