I don't really see any on the FA market or even in the draft that I think could give immediate contribution and be a stud in pass protection.
Maybe I'm not thinking of someone though.
Unfortunately, I dont know if there is a stud RT free agent out there with great pass blocking skills. McGlinchey gave up 6 sacks and 36 pressures. McGary gave up 6 sacks and just 19 pressures but the year before he gave up 9 sacks with 41 pressures. Jawaan Taylor gave up 5 sacks with 21 pressures. The year before he gave up 6 sacks with 34 pressures. I dont know if any of them are great but Taylor has improved every year in pass protection and is just 25 years old so he would probably be the best. He did finish in the top 15 in pass protection which Im sure is part of the reason for his expected salary estimates. He does have a problem in run blocking. He is very bad at it.
Other names mentioned, Eluemunor gave up just 3 sacks and 26 pressures but he also played less snaps (940 total) than McGlinchey (1210), McGary (1051) and Tayor (1230)
Kelvin Beachum played 1178 snaps and gave up 5 sacks but he will be 34 years old when the season starts. He is still very solid in pass protection and could provide depth for a very affordable price. The last projection I saw was 1.5 million a year. I would rather have Beachum as depth at RT than I would Adeniji.
