The draft-day project with hopes of becoming a bookend right tackle is getting another shot in Silver & Black. That says a lot of how the Las Vegas Raiders personnel crew feels about Brandon Parker.
Taken in the third round of the 2018 NFL Draft (No. 65 overall) out of North Carolina A&T — the same year the Raiders took left tackle Kolton Miller No. 15 overall — Parker was pegged as a long-term developmental project with upside to man the right side along with Miller. While Miller struggled in his rookie season, the blindside protector out of UCLA has become an anchor and one of the better players at the position.
