This is where things get weird. The return of a fully healthy Kolton Miller is massive, after struggling in the first five weeks fans turned on Miller before he came back to his usual self to finish the season. After a nagging shoulder injury last off-season, he's coming back into form this year and is gunning for his Pro Bowl honor. Alongside him is Dylan Parham, who's started three straight seasons. Like he has the last three seasons, Parham will now flip back to left guard after playing 2024 at right guard where he allowed 36 pressures and 5 sacks. Parham has developed into an above average guard and going into a contract year, the Raiders will be looking for further development before getting any extension done. Center is a change, after originally starting the 2024 season with Andre James (who was quickly benched), then rookie Jackson Powers-Johnson took over where the Remington award finalist from Oregon flashed. This year, Jordan Meredith who graded out as the 8th best guard in the NFL last season after allowing 9 pressures and 0 sacks in over 500 total snaps, moves to center. Meredith got looks from the staff to start camp at center and quickly entrenched himself there which moves the aforementioned Jackson Powers-Johnson to right guard. Powers-Johnson should play well at guard, and regardless he gets the best five on the field with Meredith moving to center. Next to him is fellow 2024 selection, DJ Glaze. Glaze had an up and down 2024 season where he allowed 51 pressures and three sacks but graded out well and had some strong performances vs top competition.

In terms of depth, the Raiders get a little questionable. They lose Cody Whitehair, who turned in an average season playing just 221 snaps but allowing nine pressures and 0 sacks. Additionally, former Saints first rounder Andrus Peat leaves after playing only 65 snaps and not performing to a good level. The aforementioned James was released just a year into his extension, and inevitably ended up with the Chargers as their backup center. Las Vegas also made the move to cut 2022 7th rounder Thayer Munford, who had previously started nearly 16 games for the team, after a rough preseason where he graded out as one of the worst T in the NFL. Munford allowed 5 sacks and 10 pressures last season in only a little over 150 games so it's not fully surprising. What is surprising, is replacing Munford with former Seahawks and Giants tackle Stone Forsythe who was one of the worst T in the NFL from 2022-2024 and largely responsible for the Giants struggle at tackle at times. Forsythe last season, prior to being benched, led the NFL in pressures with 35 and the next closest tackle had 19. He's a big offensive lineman with good movement skills but Forsythe struggles to maintain balance and foot speed which causes him to struggle at times. In addition, Las Vegas added Alex Cappa who notably led NFL offensive lineman last season in pressures, sacks, and hurries allowed. Cappa pushed for the Raiders starting guard spot before an injury and is not the teams first off the bench for an interior OL injury. Behind them come 2024 UDFA Will Putnam, who played better in 2025's preseason than he did in 2024 but is also the teams only true center for what that's worth. 3rd round rookies Charles Grant and Caleb Rogers don't provide a ton in their rookie seasons, with Grant likely taking on a "redshirt" season to develop after coming to the NFL from William & Mary. Both played in the preseason and showed flashes but often there was some struggles with technique from both.
