Mike McGlinchey OLT Notre Dame | Page 5

NinerSickness · 2017-10-31T20:49:07-07:00

Now that Rosen won't e a Niner, it's time to take a serious look at the other top prospects in CFB. At this point, I think Saquon Barkley or Mike McGlinchey make the most sense in round 1 (probably at 2 or 3). Observations: This guy isn't the next Joe Thomas. However, he could be the next Joe Staley. He's not the athlete Staley was IMO, but he's a pain in the ass for pass rushers. He just seems to have an annoyingly long reach & great hand usage from which it's hard to disengage. Also has quick feet. Has a reputation of being a great character guy & a leader on the field. Negatives: Not the best fit for a ZBS IMO. At 6'8 and average athleticism, I don't know how well he's going to move around all game. He's not as dominant as Quentin Nelson IMO. Overall: My instincts say to pass on him and get Saquon Barkley. Other, good left tackles can be had. However, they better figure something out because Jimmy's gonna get killed behind that s**t Niner OL.

With as many as 5 QB's likely to go in the top 10, I don't see any reason there won't be some elite defenders available at #9. Just don't see Lynch taking McGlinchey at #9.

Yep

there are other OTs who may not be as good as McGlinchey now, but in a year or two, those guys will be as good.. so no rush on trying to get on with the 9th overall pick.. in fact, we really should consider trading down..

Zero guarantee of that. If that were the case it would mean that there is no point to drafting anyone in the 1st round for any position if you could consistently get players who are just as good after a year or two.

Talent is talent. While you can always find great players in later rounds, typically you find the truly elite talent in the 1st round.

Wasn't even considering this guy as a possibility until the King article. I'd be pissed

I'm not as low on mcglinchy as most obviously. Not my first choice, but wouldn't be mad at this pick. Especially if the plan is to let brown walk (which I also wouldn't do)

That's how I feel.

And for the record, I've never smoked crack--just the devil's lettuce.

if they draft McGlinchey at 9 overall

I would seriously question this FO if that happened.

Honestly I think it's hogwash, no front office is gonna throw out actual truths 5 days before the draft.

Any OT at 9 would make me furious. One of the weakest OT classes that I can recall and taking one in the top 10 would be crazy...especially when it's not a need right away. You'd basically be taking a guy who wouldn't see the field at all as a rookie if everything goes well.

Not like you want to rotate OLmen.
