Eluemunor has been above average in pass protection all three years.  McGlinchey great run blocker but not so great in pass protection.  If we go by your numbers I think we should all agree McGlinchey would be a bad pick up and is not worth 15-16 million a year for someone who is not good in pass protection.   Ive never been a fan of signing McGlinchey for that reason.  Too much money for a guy who is not good in pass protection.  Im not sold on McGary or Taylor either.  From my perspective I dont see any great, home run free agent signings at RT.  I see some workable solutions.  I think Kelvin Beachum although not one of the guys listed above could also be a good depth option.

Eluemunor has such a small sample size in his previous 2 years though. Taylor, McGary and Eluemunor all had good years last year but didn't show as well previous years. I don't think any of them are clear home runs either. It's kind of a pick your poison situation. I'm also completely out on McGlinchey.

From my thinking, McGlinchey is going to be asking for too much and Taylor is going to be near or at the same range. McGary will be behind them but it remains to be seen how far behind. 

Guys like Beachum and Fant would be ok for depth but i wouldn't bring them in to start 17+ games. Eluemunor just doesn't have the sample size or wow factor, even at his APY for me to say "let's get him!". 

My leaning is towards the guy who is a known run blocker and showed improved passpro last year, who should come in at a more reasonable price than the top couple guys.
