In the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft, the Las Vegas Raiders addressed their offensive line by selecting Delmar ‘DJ’ Glaze out of Maryland. Glaze is an interesting prospect because while he has a strong track record in pass protection at offensive tackle, his traits suggest he’d be better suited as a guard at the next level.
For example, the former Terripan earned pass-blocking grades from Pro Football Focus in the mid-80s and only gave up 32 pressures on over 1,000 opportunities over the last two seasons. However, he lacks some foot speed/quickness which can lead to short corners around the edge.
