He's gotten beat other times too.

Not looking like a Top 5 pick tonight.

There are no sure picks with offensive lineman.

I didn't pay attention to any of their specific names, but the Miss St. OL is worth taking a look at.  They (I thought) did a heck of a job, versus a typically strong Alabama front seven.

State senior pass rusher Bradley Chubb (6-3, 275, 4.84, #9), a projected top-10 pick in the 2018 NFL Draft. Along with Quenton Nelson at left guard, McGlinchey was dominant in the run game, but his struggles with edge speed in pass protection showed on more than a few occasions. Entering the season, scouts had concerns about his ability to stay on the blindside in the NFL, and his performances against the top defenses on the schedule (Georgia and N.C. State) back up those concerns. - Dane Brugler, NFLDraftScout.com

09/11/17 - As Saturday night turned into Sunday morning following Georgia's 20-19 victory over Notre Dame, Fighting Irish offensive lineman Mike McGlinchey took the blame. "It's awful, absolutely awful...it came down to execution at the end and I blew it," said McGlinchey, a 6-foot-8 1/4, 315-pound left tackle who turned down the NFL to try to help Notre Dame rebound from a 4-8 season. McGlinchey held himself responsible for missing the block that led to Georgia linebacker Davin Bellamy's sack of quarterback Brandon Wimbush and linebacker Lorenzo Carter's fumble recovery that ended Notre Dame's chance of rallying past the No. 13 Bulldogs. The loss dropped the Irish (1-1) out of the Associated Press Top 25 rankings. Notre Dame is at Boston College next week. "Our defense played its heart out. Everyone had their doubts about them and they stepped up," McGlinchey said. "That last play was my fault. We played our hearts out in the fourth quarter." Coach Brian Kelly, who was brusque in ending his postgame conference, insisting things won't "snowball" as they did in 2016 when Notre Dame lost seven of its eight games by eight points or fewer, was in a better mood Sunday and didn't fault McGlinchey. "I've never felt like there's one play that determines a game," Kelly said. "It was just a one-on-one scenario. That's a guy (Bellamy) that's going to be playing in the NFL." - AP College Football

Tackle is such a tough position to predict it seems when you start looking at the last 10 years of Tackles drafted. I would feel better if it was a new coaching staff making the call overall.

Here are the standings for top picks:
Browns (0-9)
Giants (1-8)
49ers (1-8)
Colts (3-7)

Then there's a log jam at 3-6:
Bengals
Broncos
Chargers
Bears
Buccaneers
Texans

Then Jets at 4-6, just 0.5 game ahead of Bengals, but I expect the Bengals to get at least a win over the Browns, which could make them tied with 4 wins each.
Based on probability, the Bengals will likely be picking in the 6-10 range.

It's all but a guarantee we will be picking in that range. Again. We're bad, but not bad enough for a top 5 pick.

Ced gave up a bunch of sacks in college but was regarded as a good tackle because of his athleticism, etc.

You figure, a Tackle may go against an NFL caliber DE maybe 2-3 times a year in college?

Quote:Mike McGlinchey would probably have been the top tackle chosen in the 2017 NFL Draft if he had declared (No. 7 overall to the Chargers?), but he announced that he would be returning to school. Excluding one game (vs. Georgia), he has been great this season.

(11-13-2017, 04:08 PM)RoyleRedlegs Wrote: McGlinchey is a physical blocking OT. He has foot work issues that seem to always be the precursor to his being beat. He often sets too short and that's when the speed guys get him.
He rarely, if ever, loses vs power.
It comes down to what you want or expect from your OT.

It's not a killer flaw but is a flaw. He still has great hand work, shows plus strength and is a strong run blocker.
In theory, this can be fixed. Especially because he seems very well rounded everywhere else in his game. But it's enough to keep him from going top 10 IMO without it being a reach unless this class is just dreadful after all is said and done.

If you want a run oriented offense then McGlinchey can be a great OT for you. If you want to throw it 40 times a game, you might be best off looking elsewhere.

Unfortunately with the current players on the OL and the person coaching the OL, it's probably much easier said than done.

They've had other big games and will have more, so it's not like 1 performance will ruin him.

But....if we could get Rankins in 1 and Q. Nelson, the guard from ND in 2......and then that C from tOSU in 3......I'd be a pretty happy camper.
