Mike McGlinchey-OT-Denver Broncos

Protecting a franchise QB is never a bad idea so I get the idea behind the pick. Two time team captain at ND so he's a leader type, don't have to worry about commitment or off field issues. I don't like that he's already 24, but not sure if he just turned 24 or what. Either way, OT is a position where being a true technician at the position can allow a player to play at a high level into the mid 30s. Not to mention he probably fits the skillset to execute in the run game.

I don't mind the pick too much, but at #9? Why couldn't we pull the trade back that Oakland or TB got, Mcclinchey May have still been there, but hey, I understand we NEED a tackle. I hear nothing but good things, that his floor is a long term starter at RT. I can't complain too much. Let's go

Are we supposed to be surprised by this news? Brown is the laziest guy in the league.

Once again I'm right. I argued with guys (NY and Genus) for a year about Kaepernick.

I argued with guys for a year about Trent Brown and how he is a horrible pick.

I argued about Solomon Thomas and taking a DE 3 years in a row.

And now I was the first person on earth to mock McGlinchey to the Niners days before the hype came out.

Oakland traded back as soon as the 49ers took McGlinchey and they ended up drafting a tackle afterwards. This whole "they could have traded back" stuff sounds good but rarely meshes with reality.

He can play inside this year, can't he?

From Bob McGinn.

1. MIKE McGLINCHEY, Notre Dame (6-8, 310, no 40, 1): Started at RT in 2015 and at LT in 2016-'17. "He'll be a good pro," said one scout. "He's just steady. Know what you're getting. Nothing is great. Everything is really good. He'll be a better right tackle but he can play left. Intangibles are through the roof." Led tackles in the 50-question Wonderlic intelligence test with a score of 37. "He's a great kid," said a second scout. "He acts like a CEO of a Fortune 500 company. He's not a devastating left tackle but he gets his man every time." Arms were 34 inches, hands were 10. Those measurements represent good, not great length. "When he went against somebody good he wasn't that impressive," a third scout said. "He got exposed against Georgia big-time. He was probably just OK against (Harold) Landry and Boston College. I went back in the last two weeks and watched him. There's some things he does well but, wow, he is nowhere remotely close to an (Jonathan) Ogden or (Tony) Boselli or Joe Thomas." From Philadelphia, where he was an outstanding prep basketball player.

No. Kyle said he'd compete at RT.

We're just trading brown for him. No improvement.

He can play inside this year, can't he?

Don't like it when someone like Minkah is sitting there waiting to be taken and our safeties are mediocre at best.
