Offensive Tackle(3): Kolton Miller, Trent Brown, Brandon Parker

Offensive tackle is pretty much set for Oakland. A first-round pick at left tackle and highest-paid offensive tackle per year on the right side. We know exactly who the starters will be in Oakland this upcoming season.

The backup spot will be Brandon Parker, who was a third round pick last year.

Andre James is a player who I believe will be on the practice squad, and could eventually be asked to move up. The rookie was Kolton Miller’s teammate in college. He started all 13 games in 2017 opposite of Kolton Miller, and then replaced him at left tackle for the teams 12 games in 2018.

Other then those four guys, I don’t see the Raiders carrying more tackles then that. David Sharpe and Denver Kirkland will both be cut. Although they were decent practice/backup players, they never shined when given the chance.

Practice Squad: Andrew James
