The Las Vegas Raiders signed Trey Zuhn III and Brandon Cleveland, and they now have most of their draft picks signed.
One of the signs of a successful NFL organization is the ability to select and sign draft picks quickly and efficiently, and the Las Vegas Raiders are doing just that so far after what was considered a very successful draft.
The Raiders now have seven of their ten draft picks signed, with the latest being guard Trey Zuhn III and defensive tackle Brandon Cleveland, according to a report from Charean Williams of Pro Football Talk.
Zuhn is the more important signing. He’s a third-rounder who played five seasons at Texas A&M, where he played a total of 54 games and made 50 starts. His collegiate honors included first-team All-SEC in 2025, according to Williams, and Zuhn was also the co-winner of the Jacobs Blocking Trophy as the top offensive lineman in the SEC as he started all 13 games the Aggies played, according to Williams.
Cleveland spent four seasons at North Carolina State, where he played in 45 career games and made 26 starts. His final stats included 126 tackles, 16 for loss, to go with six sacks, one pass defended, two forced fumbles and a single fumble recovery.
He was durable as well, appearing in 13 games last year, and his 2025 stats included 36 tackles, seven tackles for loss and two sacks.
Zuhn will compete for playing time on a revamped offensive line, which now features new center Tyler Linderbaum and left tackle Kolton Miller, who is expected to be fully recovered from a stress fracture in his ankle that kept him out for much of last year.
The rest of the line is still in flux, but given his background and draft position he’ll have a legitimate chance to contribute and perhaps even start. Zuhn is currently listed behind Linderbaum at center on the Raiders depth chart.
Cleveland projects as more of a depth player given the significant signings the Raiders made on defense earlier this offseason, and he’ll likely slot in behind defensive tackles Adam Butler, JJ Pegues and Brodric Martin-Rhodes. He’ll have an uphill climb to make the roster, as the Raiders hope to be much better up front this year.
The Raiders’ earlier signings this week included safety Treydan Stukes, fourth-round running back Mike Washington Jr., fifth-round safety Dalton Johnson, fifth-round cornerback Hezekiah Masses and sixth-round wide receiver Malik Benson. The big question going forward is the signing of new quarterback Fernando Mendoza, who chose his Raiders number this week as he continues to make multiple media-based appearances.
