Mike McGlinchey - T - PlayerGil Brandt expects Notre Dame OT Mike McGlinchey to be selected in the first 10 picks of the NFL Draft.
OG Quenton Nelson, a teammate at Notre Dame, is widely expected to be the first lineman off the board, but Brandt thinks McGlinchey will quickly follow. Especially with the number of quarterbacks expected to be selected, it is difficult to find a landing spot for McGlinchey in the first 10 picks, but Green Bay could make some sense at No. 14 overall.Source: MMQB

Let me call you an Uber, you're drunk uncle Gil...

@"Geoff Nichols" said: I could actually see it. I have him graded as a better prospect than Conklin was in 2016 and he went #8 overall to Tennessee. Leading up to that draft nobody really agreed with me that he would go any higher than #15 and there he went. Team needs might have McGlinchey drop out of the top 10 but I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if he were gone by 15. 
This aged well.

@"pumpf" said: I dunno... I can see it.  It's the kind of position that teams will over-draft (take higher than their talent deserves). Then again, I've had a few concussions... so maybe Gil and I are on the same brain-wave...
Told 'ya...  ;)

As did my McGlinchey defense.  I also called like 3 picks right in a row in the draft thread. Gunning for your job Guru!

I'm confused. Because you correctly predicted MM would go high, then your evaluation of this player is, um, correct?

My evaluation of Tackle thirsty teams was correct, Maroon. Still think he's a great RT but a reach at LT.  Didn't you opine that he'd slide out of the first?

No this isn't about the evaluation. The point is that the OT's were going to come off the board early and this is now two out of three years its happened. Just a realization of common day draft trends that people continually are not catching on to.

No, that he SHOULD not would. I said he was a 25 to 40 type player and I stand by that. I could be wrong, but I think he's a 10 year pro at RT who never makes a pro bowl. That's who I think he is. He's Tim Irwin.

I know what I think, but I don't often try to predict what the NFL thinks. Like I've said before, that's like trying to predict 32 dimensions of stupid. :-)

Then clearly we're talking about two different things.
