On one hand, I like that the Raiders are adding to their weak offensive line. On the other hand … why Delmar Glaze? The Maryland product was considered a day-three prospect, so this is too early for him. Glaze is considered a backup swing tackle for the pros.

From what I've been seeing he was considered a fringe top 100 pick. The best he was thought of was mid to late 3rd.Dark Horse wrote Fri Apr 26, 2024 8:21 pm:By who?

Any truth to the rumors that AP looked pissed after the Glaze pick?Raider_Dave » Fri Apr 26, 2024 9:04 pm
Not that I know of, but one thig is pretty clear. Unlike when we had Gruden and McDaniels and we didn't know if it was them or the GM making the picks. I think it's pretty clear Telesco is running this show.bringdafunk wrote Fri Apr 26, 2024 8:47 pm:Any truth to the rumors that AP looked pissed after the Glaze pick?

Nice things being said. This from “The Ringer”.You know, I’m liking this draft despite going on tilt in the 1st round. The QB wasn’t there, but if rumors have any truth to them, the FO put in the effort to make it happen. And really, my goin’ on tilt is more about an accumulation of years of mediocrity at the QB position. It’s not this regimes fault. They’ve got a brand new clock they’re runnin’ off of. Year one they grabbed Minshew in FA. McDoofus and Z grabbed AO and were saddled with Reverend Chickenshit. The moronic Grudock regime rode with Rev. Chickenshit too. Jack and Reggie had showed promise, but that promise became an albatross that sunk them both.[whispers] WINNER: Raider Nation
It’s probably easiest to explain the Raiders’ start to the draft by listing all the things they didn’t do. New general manager Tom Telesco and first-year head coach Antonio Pierce didn’t make an over-aggressive trade-up for one of the developmental quarterbacks who came off the board just ahead of where they were picking at no. 13 in the first round. Even with their glaring quarterback need, they didn’t force themselves to draft a prospect with a poor injury history (like Michael Penix Jr.) or age concerns (like Bo Nix.) Instead, while staring directly into the mustaches of an uninspiring quarterback depth chart of veteran journeyman Gardner Minshew and second-year QB Aidan O’Connell, Las Vegas drafted the best player available in each of the first three times they were on the clock, taking tight end Brock Bowers at 13, Oregon center Jackson Powers-Johnson at no. 44, and Maryland offensive lineman Delmar Glaze in the middle of the third round. For most of the league, that would simply be considered smart drafting; for the Raiders, it’s a massive shift in draft philosophy, a miracle hand-delivered from some kind of higher power who finally grew tired of laughing at the franchise for the last two decades.
The Raiders got great value in both Bowers (The Ringer’s Danny Kelly’s third-ranked player, and the likely target of multiple teams who were trying to trade up in the first round) and Powers-Johnson, the 28th-ranked player on this media consensus board. Sure, both Bowers and Powers-Johnson play low-value positions, and they took Bowers a year after selecting TE Michael Mayer in the second round, but ...

Throw that nerd shit out the window for a second (no offense, Barnwell). Bowers and Powers-Johnson are good players, and look like they can actually be foundational pieces who will stick in Vegas for years. Only two of the Raiders’ 11 first-round picks since 2015—edge defender Tyree Wilson and offensive tackle Kolton Miller—remain on the team, and Wilson isn’t even projected to start in 2024. Bigger than their need at quarterback, or another high-value position, is the Raiders’s need for impact football players. They finally added those on Day 1 and Day 2 of the draft.

I hope I'm wrong but I don't like this pick, there were better players available imo; R Wilson, Tampa, P WilsonSold My Soul wrote Fri Apr 26, 2024 8:13 pm:Las Vegas Raiders: Delmar Glaze, OT, Maryland – D Grade

Yeah, you didn't answer the question. That question was specific. By who? Because about scouting reports aren't the same.Raider_Dave wrote Fri Apr 26, 2024 8:24 pm:From what I've been seeing he was considered a fringe top 100 pick. The best he was thought of was mid to late 3rd.
