5 Las Vegas Raiders who should not have made the 2020 53-man roster

Brandon Parker

Brandon Parker was a surprise to most when chosen in the third round of the 2018 NFL draft. A small-school prospect with a lot of tools, the upside has always been there for Parker. However when called upon to perform in spot duty, he has been downright atrocious to start his NFL career.

The Raiders ended up releasing veteran tackle Sam Young and trading David Sharpe, both of whom have had better NFL film than Parker. Since coming into the league, Parker has not shown that he can play at the NFL level, but the Raiders still will use him as the swing tackle for the 2020 campaign.

Parker will enter the season as the 3rd tackle on the team, meaning he will back up both Kolton Miller and Trent Brown. Let that sink in. Parker is one snap away from seeing the field for the Raiders in 2020, and based off of everything we have learned thus far, that is a scary thought.
