Las Vegas Raiders 2020 post-draft position review: Offensive Line
Depth Chart
Starters: Rodney Hudson, Gabe Jackson, Richie Incognito, Trent Brown, Kolton Miller
As stated earlier, the Raiders will return their entire starting five from last year, giving the franchise the kind of cohesiveness it needs as they head to Las Vegas. The starters are one of the better five in all of football, and it will be interesting to see how they gel in Year 2.
Depth: Jordan Devey, John Simpson, Sam Young, Brandon Parker, Erik Magnuson, Lester Cotton, Andre James, Eric Kush, Kamaal Seymour, David Sharpe, Denzelle Good
Simpson is going to make the team, as will guys like David Sharpe and Denzelle Good, who have proven they can start when needed. Jordan Devey is the kind of versatile offensive lineman that can play both center and guard, while Andre James was able to step in and start for Hudson during the 2019 season.
Outside of those guys, it will be interesting to see who makes their push to make the Week 1 roster, as Brandon Parker has not proven he can play at the NFL level yet, and was a third round pick in 2018. Lester Cotton was a mauler at Alabama, and returns in 2020, while Seymour was a constant along the offensive line at Rutgers.
Eric Kush, Erik Magnuson, and Sam Young all have proven to be good depth guys in their career, and will all get a chance to make this roster this summer.
It was clear that the Raiders needed to add more depth after last season, and they certainly did that via the NFL Draft, free agency, and with undrafted free agents this offseason. Looking forward, this could be one of the better units in the AFC, especially if the front five can stay healthy throughout.
