In the 2024 NFL Draft, the Las Vegas Raiders selected offensive tackle Delmar Glaze from the University of Maryland with the 77th overall pick. Glaze, who stands 6'4" and weighs 315 pounds, has been recognized for his robust performance, earning a third-team All-Big Ten selection. He has shown consistent improvement over his college career, starting 13 games in his final year at the left tackle position after previously playing on both sides of the line. Notably, Glaze allowed a low quarterback pressure percentage of 2.8% since 2021, ranking him 7th among draft-eligible tackles. His pass blocking efficiency is also highlighted by an 87.1 pass block grade since 2022, ranking 4th among his peers. Despite being ranked 152nd on the consensus big board, his selection reflects a strategic choice by the Raiders.
No surprise the @Raiders took a right tackle candidate in Maryland's Delmar Glaze. A big run on that position over the first two rounds may have pushed him higher than most projected.
