We take a look at the interior offensive line for the Raiders ahead of free agency to give it a condition of either Strong, Stable, Unstable, Serious, or Critical.
Returning starters: Dylan Parham, Andre James
Depth: Netane Muti, Hroniss Grasu, Vitaly Gurman, Jordan Meredith
Free agents: Alex Bars
Parham had a decent rookie season and settled in over the latter half of the season once he was not being moved around to three different positions.
James was his usual underwhelming presence at center and Bars was downright awful. And if the depth was any good, the starters wouldn’t be lacking.
Condition: Critical
Why: The Raiders are desperate for at least one new starter. Should Parham remain at left guard, right guard would be the glaring void. If Parham moves to center, it leaves a need at both guard spots. They could use an upgrade at center at very least, but could probably get by with James. That is unless they opt for the $5 million in cap savings should they cut him.
