It was a busy day for the Oakland Raiders organization on Monday, as the team inked two of their nine draft picks to their rookie contracts. The day started with the team signing Nick Nelson, a standout cornerback from Wisconsin, who is expected to challenge for immediate playing time in year one.
Later on, the team signed Brandon Parker, who was arguably the best offensive tackle in the FCS last season. Parker is expected to bring depth to the offensive tackle position this season, and could prove to be a very valuable member of the roster if something happens to the likes of Donald Penn and Kolton Miller.
