Last April the Raiders went tackle with two of their top three picks — Kolton Miler at 14 overall and Brandon Parker in the third round. Now in just the fifth game of the season those two rookies will be starting across from each other.
Top pick Kolton Miller stepped in at tackle in the offseason while Donald Penn recovered from foot surgery. Once Penn returned, right tackle Breno Giacomini had been lost to injury, so the team opted to move Penn to right tackle — a position he had never started a game in his long career — and keep Miller at left tackle.
