It was a hell of a first preseason game for the Raiders rookies against the Detroit Lions. The overwhelmingly positive introduction to the likes of P.J. Hall, Nick Nelson, Maurice Hurst and Eddy Pineiro was a very welcome sight for the Silver and Black.
As great as that first game was, it wasn’t a complete preview for the Raiders 2018 draft class because they were still missing their 2 injured 3rd round selections, OT Brandon Parker and DE Arden Key. For those of us that have been anxiously awaiting the chance to see these two in action, they’ve taken a step closer to that happening.
