Raiders Add OL Depth in Third Round of Draft

With the other third-round pick that they got from a trade they made in the second round, the Raiders are taking center Trey Zuhn III out of Texas A&M. We previously mocked Zuhn to the Raiders in our final mock draft.

Zuhn was a great starter for the Aggies last season and had a great college career. In this ERA of NIL and the transfer portal that has been going on in college football, Zuhn was a four-year starter at Texas A&M. That is something you do not see a lot of, and that is a good sign for the Silver and Black.

Zuhn is not only a center but also could play at the guard position on either side. That is something the Raiders could use for depth. You never could have too many offensive linemen. Zuhn brings a lot of experience to the offensive line, which the Raiders value. Zuhn was named to the first-team All-SEC last season. That is saying something, because it is a conference that has some of the best from this draft.

Raiders Take Offensive Lineman in the Third Round

He is a good blocker in both the pass and run games. That will play huge for the Raiders. With the Raiders looking to find out about the rest of their offensive line, Zuhn will compete with the others in that position group. Do not be surprised if Zuhn is named a starter going into next season.

That is the type of player he could be. With many questions on the Raiders' offensive line at the guard positions, he will be in the mix for head coach Klint Kubiak.

This is another pick, where the Raider made based on the position they needed. That is a good sign for the Raiders, who are making good picks here in the first two days of the draft, and they will look to finish off strong tomorrow. The Raiders are building as well with this pick.
