Dud: Brandon Parker

The Brandon Parker experiment may finally have come to an end, as second year player Brandon Parker often struggled last season, and it has continued in 2019. Fellow second-year offensive lineman Kolton Miller struggled last year as well, but he has been much better in 2019, whereas Parker has not.

Parker has shown struggles throughout the season and those struggles were on full display as Derek Carr was sacked three times. Parker struggled as Melvin Ingram worked inside of him and had a difficult time reacting to defensive stunts. Parker was later replaced by Davide Sharpe at halftime.

Next. Oakland Raiders struck gold after the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft. dark

The Raiders have already announced that Sharpe will start at right tackle for the team this weekend, which means Parker will be heading back to the bench. He has not shown he can play at the NFL level through his first two seasons in the league, and you have to wonder if the team is going to cut bait with him next offseason.
