How did Garett Bolles and Mike McGlinchey rank in 2024?

The thirty third crew simply launched their checklist of prime move defending offensive tackles for 2024 and each of the Denver Broncos beginning offensive tackles made their checklist.

The one different crew with each tackles within the prime 10 was the Payments. Garett Bolles ranked fifth permitting stress on 3.5% of his move blocking snaps whereas Mike McGlinchey ranked tenth at 4.5%. Rookie and Fellow domer, Joe Alt, ranked ninth. This matches up pretty properly with ESPN’s move block win fee (which can not have been up to date?) however that reveals McGlinchey at sixth and Bolles at seventh. ESPN additionally has Tristan Wirfs ranked first, however due to a unique minimal snap quantity, they’ve Trent Williams ranked 2nd. He didn’t have the five hundred snaps wanted to qualify for the above rating.

From a person standpoint SIS assigns all gamers a factors worth related (however not the identical) as PFR’s AV (approximate worth). Of their rankings Bolls was 4th with 35 factors and McGlinchey was twenty ninth with 24 factors.

You may want a to zoom on this to learn it.

Evaluating to the Bronco LTs (which had been nearly all Bolles) in 2024 to the LT spot for the remainder of the league, we allowed the third fewest sacks with 3, and had one of many decrease blown block totals with solely 21. The Chiefs LTs allowed a whopping 17 sacks, and that doesn’t rely those they allowed within the Tremendous Bowl. Additionally they had a league worst 56 blown blocks and 9 holding penalties.

The Bronco RTs (which incorporates the snaps that Matt Peart performed because the sixth OL) allowed solely 5 sacks whereas having 32 complete blown blocks. The Patriots had the worst RT play within the league, with former Bronco, Demontrey Jacobs beginning for them.

The opposite guys who took some snaps at OT for the Broncos, Alex Palczewski, Peart and Frank Crum, all performed decently given their restricted taking part in time and the restricted expertise from each AP and FC. AP earned 5, MP earned 3 and FC earned zero as a result of he solely performed 3 snaps on offense.

By complete SIS factors the Broncos had the fifth finest OT group within the league.

In fact, I’d nonetheless like us to take a position some draft capital into the OT group for the reason that Broncos haven’t drafted an OT since 2017. It could be good to have McGlinchey’s substitute on the crew and prepared for when the Broncos resolve to maneuver on from him after his contract is up. Whereas AP performed fairly properly in 2024, there isn’t a assure that he’ll be capable to play at an above common stage for a whole season if/when he has to. Frankly, I’d a lot somewhat we “waste” some day three picks on OTs somewhat than DBs and WRs who’re by no means going to play within the NFL.
