McGlinchey getting worked over tonight...he'll probably be our pick

My definition of "up and down performance" is in line with what Royle said that Chubb beat him bad on one rep, but otherwise kept him in check.

I think you're a little hard on McGlinchey because you really want a Whitworth-caliber OT (which you aren't going to be able to find this year or next year) and have this false sense that a player isn't worth a top 10 pick if they have a flaw. We're all going to have to come to the reality that Whitworth was a rarity and we probably won't see another OT like him in a Bengals uniform in a long time, especially being that dominant OTs coming out of college have become even more rare than before.

McGlinchey may not be BPA where the Bengals pick, but by no means would it be a terrible selection. He'd still be a big upgrade over Ogbuehi and should have a solid career in the NFL.

If a team keeps saying year after year of not taking Player X because he's "not worth that pick" and instead keep drafting pure BPA, the team could end up being in constant mediocre limbo by having some really good positions but also very weak positions.

Oh...I'd be ok with us drafting him...but chances are as a rookie he's going to come in and give up sacks. Expectations management really.
