When the Oakland Raiders signed Trent Brown to a record-setting free agent deal early in free agency, the expectation was that he would become the team’s left tackle. Last season, as a member of the New England Patriots, Brown helped the Pats to a Super Bowl victory as their left tackle, where he had a standout season.
During the 2018 NFL Draft, the Raiders selected UCLA left tackle Kolton Miller with their first round pick, and he started on the left side his entire rookie season. Battling through injuries, Miller did not have the best rookie season, but when he was healthy, he showed he could be a solid left tackle at the NFL level.
