Offensive Linemen

Roster: Kolton Miller [LT], Denzelle Good [LG], Rodney Hudson [C], Gabe Jackson [RG], Trent Brown [RT], Brandon Parker [OT], Chaz Green [OT/G], Jordan Devey [C/OG] (8)

Cuts: David Sharpe [OT], Tyler Roemer [OT], Justin Murray [OT], Andre James [OT], Lester Cotton Jr. [OG], Denver Kirkland [OG], Lukayus McNeil [OG/OT] (7)

The Raiders starting five on the offensive line should be pretty much set even following the departure of Kelechi Osemele in the offseason. The only spot that could be up for grabs is Osemele’s vacated position at left guard — although it would be a surprise to see anyone but Denzelle Good come away with the job.

The signing of Trent Brown will push 2018 third-rounder Brandon Parker out of the starting lineup which is probably for the best. He will serve as the team’s primary backup tackle along with veteran Chaz Green who could play both inside and outside.

Jordan Devey also secures a spot and will serve as the primary center as well as providing some versatility at guard. Undrafted guard Lester Cotton narrowly misses out on a roster spot but the team will likely try and sneak the Alabama standout on to their practice squad.

Other notable cuts include guard Denver Kirkland and tackle David Sharpe as they simply become victims of the numbers game. Look for players like Tyler Roemer, Andre James, and Lukayus McNeil to also push for practice squad spots
