The Las Vegas Raiders’ 2022 NFL draft class was limited to just six picks, all in the third round or later, as the Raiders sent their first- and second-rounders to the Green Bay Packers to acquire wide receiver Davante Adams. So, for this addition of “Where are they now?“, we’ll take a look at the results of the trade in addition to providing updates on what was another underwhelming draft for the Silver and Black.
Davante Adams Trade
Raiders Stats: 37 games, 221 catches, 2,869 yards, 23 TDs (3 seasons)
Post-Raiders Stats:
25 games, 127 catches, 1,643 yards, 21 TDs (2 seasons)
Current Team: Los Angeles Rams
Adams really only played about two and a quarter seasons in Las Vegas, asking to be dealt early on in the 2024 campaign. He gave the club a couple of productive years, most notably putting up a 100-catch, 1,500-yard and 14-touchdown performance with Derek Carr in 2022.
However, the instability at quarterback post-Carr and the losing led to the trade, where the Raiders received a third-round pick from the New York Jets. Ironically, the Raiders used that pick to acquire Geno Smith from the Seattle Seahawks, who didn’t solve the problem behind center in Vegas and was traded to the Jets this past offseason.
Circling back to the original Adams trade, the Packers took linebacker Quay Walker with the first-round pick and used the second-rounder to trade up for wide receiver Christian Watson. Adding to the irony of this situation, Walker went on to sign with the Silver and Black during free agency last March. Meanwhile, Watson has been solid in Green Bay, when healthy, and just received a four-year, $92 million contract extension.
Round 3, Pick 90: G Dylan Parham
Raiders Stats: 64 games, 63 starts (4 seasons)
Post-Raiders Stats: N/A
Current Team: Jets
Parham began his tenure in Vegas as a solid starter and ended his tenure in Vegas as a solid starter. The problem was that he never took the next step in his career. To the third-round pick’s credit, that’s symptomatic of playing for three head coaches, six offensive coordinators and four offensive line coaches, including interims, in four years. Still, it seemed like an easy decision for John Spytek to let Parham walk during free agency this offseason. He ended up signing a two-year, $16 million contract with the Jets, where he should remain a starter.
Round 4, Pick 122: RB Zamir White
Raiders Stats: 45 games, 198 rushes, 736 yards (3.7 ypa), 2 TDs
Post-Raiders Stats: N/A
Current Team: N/A
After a strong finish to the 2023 season, White looked like a potential replacement for Josh Jacobs, who won the rushing title the year prior. That played a part in the organization’s decision to let Jacobs walk during the 2024 offseason. However, that proved to be nothing more than false hope, as White went on to rush for just 215 yards and about 2.8 yards per carry during the next two seasons. He worked out for the Dallas Cowboys on June 16, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, but remains unsigned as of June 24.
Round 4, Pick 126: DT Neil Farrell
Raiders Stats: 9 games, 12 tackles, 1 TFL, 0 sacks (1 season)
Post-Raiders Stats: 10 games, 3 tackles, 1 TFL, 0 sacks (2 seasons)
Current Team: St. Louis Battlehawks (UFL)
Farrell was a complete whiff of a pick. He only played 158 defensive snaps as a rookie, per Pro Football Reference, before getting traded to the Kansas City Chiefs for a sixth-rounder a year later, which the Raiders used to take running back Dylan Laube in the 2024 draft. Meanwhile, Farrell played in a handful of games for the Chiefs and Miami Dolphins, but wasn’t on a team in 2025 before heading to the UFL. He was a solid rotational player for the Battlehawks this past season, making two starts in 11 games (including playoffs) while recording 23 tackles, 2 TFLs, a sack and two passes defended for the 2026 campaign.
Round 5, Pick 175: DT Matthew Butler
Raiders Stats: 15 games, 15 tackles, 0 TFLs, 0.5 sack (3 seasons)
Post-Raiders Stats: 12 games, 12 tackles, 0 TFLs, 0 sacks (1 season)
Current Team: Dolphins
After making the team but barely playing as a rookie, Butler spent his second and third NFL seasons up and down between the active roster and practice squad in Las Vegas. He never caught on and was let go during OTAs last spring before Miami picked him up and used him as a backup defensive tackle. It feels like this season will be the Tennessee product’s last shot to carve out an NFL career, entering Dolphins training camp as a third-stringer, according to the depth chart on OurLads.
Round 7, Pick 238: OL Thayer Munford Jr.
Raiders Stats: 48 games, 18 starts (3 seasons)
Post-Raiders Stats: 5 games, 2 starts (1 season)
Current Team: N/A
Munford had an interesting tenure in Sin City. At one point, he looked like a potential steal as a seventh-round pick, serving as a solid backup and swing tackle in year one and starting at both tackle spots from Week 6 on in year two. However, it was all downhill from there. Munford began the 2024 campaign as the Raiders’ starting right tackle before losing the job to a rookie DJ Glaze, and then getting released ahead of last season. That led to the Ohio State product reuniting with Josh McDaniels on the New England Patriots’ practice squad, before getting plucked by the Cleveland Browns and then heading back to New England in late-November. Munford is a free agent at the time of writing due to a knee injury, per ESPN’s Mike Reiss.
Round 7, Pick 250: RB Brittain Brown
Raiders Stats: 6 games, 0 touches (1 season)
Post-Raiders Stats: 3 games, 5 rushes, 37 yards (7.4 ypc), 1 TD
Current Team: Chicago Bears
Brown was a classic preseason star who never did anything during the regular season. As a rookie, he made the team by posting 189 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns on 41 total touches during the three August outings, but was only active for a handful of contests that counted and strictly as a special teamer. The UCLA product ended up getting injured and then cut during the next two training camps in Vegas, respectively, spending the majority of the 2024 campaign on the Seattle Seahawks practice squad. Last year, Brown was on the Bears’ p-squad and got called up for a few games, scoring a late touchdown to help lead Chicago to a win. He’ll continue to battle for a roster spot this summer, though.
