More PFF Stuff for those that care, RE 1st Round O-line Picks.
PICK NO. 6: QUENTON NELSON, INDIANAPOLIS COLTS
2018 SEASON GRADE: 62.9
This was not the debut the Colts were hoping to see from 2018 first-round pick Quenton Nelson. Starting at left guard, Nelson had a number of downgrades in both run-blocking and pass-blocking, and he particularly struggled in space when he was asked to pull or get to the second level. He played all 82 offensive snaps for his team, 60 of which came in pass-protection, where he allowed two quarterback hurries and was clearly beaten by a defender on three separate occasions.
PICK NO. 9: MIKE MCGLINCHEY, SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS
2018 SEASON GRADE: 55.4
The former Notre Dame tackle didn’t have a particularly impressive debut, but it would be unfair to judge him too harshly on Sunday’s performance alone, as injuries on the 49ers offensive line forced him to kick inside to guard, a position that he’d never played at any level up until that point. All told, McGlinchey spent 42 of his 67 snaps as a pass-blocker, but struggled for the most part and allowed one sack, one hit, and three hurries.
PICK NO. 15: KOLTON MILLER, OAKLAND RAIDERS
2018 SEASON GRADE: 59.5
The Raiders new left tackle played all 70 offensive snaps for his team on Monday night, and while he wasn’t perfect, he showed a marked improvement in pass protection after a couple of wildly inconsistent preseason games. All told, Miller yielded just two quarterback hurries on 47 pass-blocking snaps and only lost one of his pass-blocks all game.
PICK NO 20: FRANK RAGNOW, DETROIT LIONS
2018 SEASON GRADE: 41.2
Like the majority of Lions players who played in Week 1, Ragnow will want to forget his season opener in a hurry. The first-round guard struggled for most of the night as a blocker, allowing two hits and four quarterback hurries on his 56 pass-blocking snaps. If that wasn’t bad enough, Ragnow was consistently defeated by the Jets pass-rush and was left for dust on at least four of his pass-blocks.
PICK NO. 21: BILLY PRICE, CINCINNATI BENGALS
2018 SEASON GRADE: 58.1
The rookie center played all 56 of his team’s offensive snaps, and once again fared much better as a pass-blocker than as a run-blocker. Price spent 34 snaps in pass-protection, where he allowed just one pressure, his first in four games.
