The Raiders had three rookies last season that were Day 1 starters for the team; Alex Leatherwood, Trevon Moehrig and Nate Hobbs. But with limited draft capital this year, will they even have one?
In a recent article by The Athletic, they asked their 32 beat writers to name the player that will have the biggest impact in Year 1. For the Raiders, that was Dylan Parham on the offensive line. Can he win a starting job as a rookie? Here is what Tashan Reed had to say about that possibility:
“With Andre James as the starting center and several players in the mix at guard, it’ll be tough for Dylan Parham to carve out a starting role in 2022, but he’s going to have the opportunity to compete from Day 1.
If he wins a job, he has the traits to give the Raiders an average to above-average starter on the interior offensive line. That might not sound too exciting, but it’d be an upgrade for an offensive line that’s played poorly as a unit since 2020.”
