Offensive line (9, 29/53)

  • 1. Kolton Miller (LT)
  • 2. Trent Brown (RT)
  • 3. Gabe Jackson (RG)
  • 4. Rodney Hudson (C)
  • 5. Richie Incognito (LG)
  • 6. David Sharpe (T)
  • 7. John Simpson (G) – Rookie
  • 8. Jordan Devey (C)
  • 9. Denzelle Good (G)

The Raiders’ starting five on the offensive line is very good, one of the best in the NFL.

Despite being considered a massive reach at the time, former first-round pick Kolton Miller has developed into a quality starting left tackle in the NFL and the Raiders paired him up with Trent Brown, a bookend at right tackle who can absolutely shut his side of the field down.

Rodney Hudson remains the premier pass-protecting center in the game at the center position.

Richie Incognito and Gabe Jackson are the team’s starting guards, but for how much longer?

Incognito is still playing well into his mid-late 30s, but there were rumors Jackson could be traded at the time of the 2020 NFL Draft. If he is traded or cut, it pushes reserve Eric Cush back into the roster projection here.

The selection of Clemson’s John Simpson was a shrewd one in the fourth round for the Raiders. He could be starting sooner rather than later.
