Agreed

I think McGlinchey has played well!! Didn't have a strong game against KC but I think he is better in the long haul. He contributes in the run game really well

I hated this pick when it was made. After only 3 games though the value in the pick has become crystal clear. He is imo at least as good as Brown was in passpro and a significant upgrade in the run game. His personality is a better fit and I love that he and Joe get along so well. It feels like a true mentorship in which Joe is comfortable passing that torch on to McG. We will see, 3 games does not make a career, but it's off to a really good start for the rookie.

You can just tell from a rookie's first few starts whether he belongs or is just completely overmatched and has a steep uphill battle. It's clear that he belongs. I see him get beat wide on some pass pro reps, but I don't see why he can't tighten that up with more experience.

Tomlinson made it work last season. Coleman has been on the roster for a month now and has starting experience. He was seen as one of the top tackles in his draft class, still some upside there.
Still hoping our OL scrubs will miraculously turn into Probowlers?

Guy has been fine in my opinion. The whole o line had a rough go last week not just im in terms of pass pro. But let's see how his run blocking holds up now. No Jimmy G means more men in the box to stop the run.

A little too early to make that claim but that certainly is the hope; that not only is it a better fit but that he reaches his full ceiling.
To me he is already infinitely better at run blocking. He's not as good at pass blocking, but he has more than held his own and should get better. So I'm not seeing some drop off at all at RT. If anything the talent, at this point, is a wash.

Trent Brown 56.3 rating (58th overall Tackle)
Mike McGlinchey 68.1 rating (22nd overall Tackle)

Mike G has been totally fine this far. Believe it or not people there is a learning curve for every position coming into the NFL. I don't believe Joe Staley was a pro bowl player his first year. Big Mike will be fine and will get better as the year goes on. year two for him he will be much more comfortable and confident and you will start to see why he was our pick.
It took Staley 5 years to become a Pro Bowl player.

I'll take a 3rd round pick vs a depth OT.
Only if we use it for something valuable.

Tackles are expensive, we have a 25yr old tackle at a good price for the next 5 years. Good job, he's been better than expected and will only get better.

Only if you're looking strictly at pass blocking.
McGlinchey right now is a far better run blocker than Brown has ever been. Where Brown was pretty passive in the run game, McGlinchey goes out looking for someone to smash. He finishes blocks and when he gets done with one guy he goes looking for more work.
The bold. It's been 3 games. It's way too early to claim anything definitely either way. That said, I'd much rather have Brown as a swing T over Gilliam or Coleman.
But OK...

He's been exactly what you'd expect. Stellar in two of the three games. poor, average and above average in PP. Even better in PP one game over his run blocking.
Personally, I think he's probably been the best rookie OL so far. It's exciting!

drafted a DB with a s**t ton of upside....kid can also play as a single-high free safety.
better than letting a fat ass sit the bench for a yr then watch him leave for nothing.

Didn't we use Brown's pick to move up for Pettis?
Moore? I'm hoping he finally gets off the bench himself. I'd love to see him get some snaps this year!
