On Friday night, the Las Vegas Raiders selected Maryland offensive tackle with the No. 77 overall pick. While not the biggest name of the position group, Glaze certainly fills a void for the Raiders, and his versatility is something that Raider Nation should be excited about.
Las Vegas may have reached a bit for this pick, but the talent pool was getting thin at a position group that was one of the biggest needs for the Raiders going into this draft. While many might not know who Delmar Glaze is now, he has the opportunity to make an impact in Year 1, whether that is as a starter on the right side, or as a swing tackle.
Here is how X (formerly Twitter) reacted to the drafting of Glaze.

Delmar Glaze had a phenomenal Senior Bowl week and showed off his terrific feet and balance in pass protection. Interested to see if he can win Raiders RT job as a rookie pic.twitter.com/prOvhmlrVe
