These PFF numbers as of 11-17-23:
| Player | Colton McKivitz | Mike McGlinchey |
|---|---|---|
| PFF Pass Block Grade | 60.5 | 59.0 |
| PFF Run Block Grade | 54.3 | 72.6 |
| Sacks Allowed | 5 | 5 |
| Total Pressures Allowed | 22 | 33 |
| Hits Allowed | 3 | 4 |
| Penalties | 2 | 8 |
| Contract APY | $2.3 million /yr | $17.5 million /yr |
The obvious drop off has been run blocking. McKivitz is a below average run blocker whereas McGlinchey is an above average run blocker, but McKivitz has been cleaner in pass pro, has committed fewer penalties, and costs significantly less.
Keeping McGlinchey at $17.5 million/yr would’ve been a massive mistake. We were right to move on.
Taliese Fuaga is a 1st round tackle prospect our of Oregon State. He plays exclusively on the right side.
I’m hoping he slides a bit in the draft and we trade up in the 1st to grab him.
