The Oakland Raiders offensive line was bad last season. This isn’t some newfound conclusion or a groundbreaking epiphany either. If you tuned into any Raiders game last season, chances are that you would have seen some pretty terrible offensive line play.
Not that that was to be expected, but it certainly isn’t surprising in hindsight.
The Raiders were starting a pair of rookie tackles — one of whom dealt with a nagging knee injury throughout the season. And both of whom weren’t seen as plug-and-play can’t-miss prospects.
Left tackle Kolton Miller was drafted in the first round, but even he was seen as more of a potential-based selection with plenty of room to grow into his athletic frame.
