There are rumors McGlinchey could go in the top 10; why is he listed so low in this Top 50?

McGlinchey is a solid player but not top ten material. In a year when a Trent Williams (Redskins) or a Duane Brown (Seahawks) were in the mix, he wouldn't be in top ten consideration. The desire for McGlinchey is more about the demand for a decent offensive tackle than it is for the player himself. He's not a stiff, but his technique breaks down when facing speedy edge or speed-to-power converting pass rushers.

I think there is no way brown will contribute this year. You dont blow a top ten on insurance. So mcg needs to start day one.

But we were legitimately terrible tackling in the defensive backfield. Didnt address that.

No game changing pass rush. Didnt address that.

So, hope there is a reason other than we might need a tackle in a year or two.

Thats in two years. We have three guys right now in the back field that cant tackle marcus lattimore in a wheel chair.

I've slept on it...if they can get a day 2 pick for Brown and come out of the draft with some good prospects I'm good with it.

He's a plug and play RT, I don't think he's gonna he a pro bowler or anything.

I will say this draft up to really wasn't amazing and I don't know about the "injury red flags" on Landry. I think we gotta try to use brown and our 3rd to move up for someone.

FYI we now have 5 1st rd picks on that OL

could be this year, could be next, if Staley gets an ACL he's probably done. Brown is a huge question mark and shows little desire to keep in shape, yeah he has a labrum injury but does that stop you riding a bike to stay in shape?

In a draft deep in LBs but light in OTs it makes perfect sense to go OT first.

Really hard to address that where we picked last night.

Yes. But then how bout trade down. We can get mcg at 40 plus have an extra pick for a sleeper we like.

Could have had van der esch minka poo instead of mcg at 9.

True. But what about db/cb? I mean is there no way to find an fa or trade for someone by end of june? We have to think outside the box.

the story they're sticking to is that the Raiders would've taken McG. i don't buy it. if anything, praage was demanding too much from the cardinals to trade up and they told us to go f ourselves.
