* ↑ The Raiders traded WR Davante Adams to the New York Jets in exchange for this third round selection (being conditional at the time of the trade) The condition – that Las Vegas would receive a third-round pick in 2025 if Adams was not named to the 2024 All-Pro Team during the 2024 NFL season and the Jets failed to reach the AFC Championship Game or Super Bowl LIX with Adams on the active roster – was met on December 8, 2024 when the Jets were eliminated from playoff contention and Adams was not named to the 2024 All-Pro Team, eventually receving the Jets' third round selection previously acquired from the Lions (92nd overall).
