Oakland Raiders 2019 preseason superlatives and team grade

Biggest Disappointment: Brandon Parker, OT
Brandon Parker struggled in 2018, but as a rookie tackle that was not supposed to be starting, what could someone expect? Parker was kept around with expectations to improve dramatically, but from what we have seen, he has not improved much at all.
Parker has struggled in camp and in games this preseason, and this was shown best in week 4 against Seattle, as he let an end run right by him for a sack. It is tough to see Parker making the roster for anything other than his youth, but he is doing all he can to make sure he does not make it.
Parker is probably the biggest disappointment to all Raiders fans right now, even if people did not expect a lot out of him. The hope here is that he can round into a swing tackle for this franchise, as any chance of him becoming a starter in the NFL is becoming a long shot.
