Raiders Like What They See of Pair of Rookie Tackles
No. 1 pick Kolton Miller and third-rounder Brandon Parker have made big strides already, say teammates and coaches By Doug Williams Published at 8:28 AM PDT on Jun 18, 2018Kolton Miller and Brandon Parker already have come a long way with the Raiders. The pair of offensive tackles, taken in the first (Miller) and third (Parker) rounds, were seen as risk picks by some. Though the Raiders needed help at right tackle, Oakland’s selection of the two offensive linemen prompted some critics to say the franchise had drafted more for need than talent, and that the Raiders had reached. Miller from UCLA and Parker from North Carolina A&T each had significant flaws, according to some NFL scouts. Yet through organized team activities (OTAs) and the recent full-roster minicamp, Miller and Parker have taken big strides, working with offensive line coach Tom Cable and the rest of the coaching staff.

You can see that coming from a mile away.

How Rookie Brandon Parker Earned Respect of Raiders Vets Right Away
By Scott Bair Published at 1:01 PM PDT on Jun 21, 2018ALAMEDA – The Raiders have high hopes for Brandon Parker. They used a third-round pick thinking the athletic tackle can be a long-term solution on the offensive line. The North Carolina product wasn't thinking about the future this spring. Parker was focused on learning a new system, working with new position coach Tom Cable and endearing himself to new teammates. That last goal isn't always easy, especially on the offensive line. Rookies are tested and pushed early regardless of position. Offensive linemen want to see you stand up for yourself and protect your own. That is, after all, their primary job description. Parker did that on the first day of last week's minicamp, pushed back against defensive lineman Fadol Brown in an exchange that evolved into a post-rep scuffle. Coaches didn't love it. It distracted from practice and a two-minute drill. Brown was penalized and ejected from practice for fighting. The offense got some extra yards by penalty and kicking a field goal. The linemen, however, were pleased to see Parker refusing to back down. "Brandon stood up for himself," left guard Kelechi Osemele said. "That was really cool to see. You always want to see that, you worry about a guy's toughness. He's a tough kid. He's been playing well. He's really intelligent. Really smart." Veterans test newbies. Parker made a good impression there. Read more: www.nbcbayarea.com/news/sports/csn/raiders/How_rookie_Brandon_Parker_earned_respect_of_Raiders_vets_right_away-486186231.html

I dont think Parker played in the Raiders' first preseason game last now. Saw him on the sideline, but not on the field.
Not sure what's the deal with that.

I was looking for him...but after the 2nd teamers played, I figured something was up because, he should be behind the kid from UCLA.

Arden Key, Brandon Parker back practicing and Raiders could have entire draft class for 2nd preseason game
By Marcus Allen Krause@krause_marcus Aug 13, 2018, 2:30pm PDTIt was a hell of a first preseason game for the Raiders rookies against the Detroit Lions. The overwhelmingly positive introduction to the likes of P.J. Hall, Nick Nelson, Maurice Hurst and Eddy Pineiro was a very welcome sight for the Silver and Black. As great as that first game was, it wasn’t a complete preview for the Raiders 2018 draft class because they were still missing their 2 injured 3rd round selections, OT Brandon Parker and DE Arden Key. For those of us that have been anxiously awaiting the chance to see these two in action, they’ve taken a step closer to that happening. Both Brandon Parker and Arden Key have returned to practice today, which hopefully means the Raiders will have their entire draft class for their next preseason game this Saturday night against the Los Angeles Rams.

I have not been following the Raiders this year, anyone know how Parker is doing so far.. I'm watching the Browns @ Raiders game right now and he is on the field for this final drive (down by eight with 34 seconds left).
TOUCHDOWN, RAIDERS!! Going for 2-point conversion and he is on the field...GOT IT!!
TIE GAME (42-42) WITH 30 SECONDS LEFT!!
He's now played in THREE games for the Raiders.
Here are his pregame stats: www.cbssports.com/nfl/players/playerpage/2091132/brandon-parker
