If he couldn't do great against leverage speed rushers, what makes u thinking he'll do well against much more talented rushers in the NFL?
He handles them fairly well but gets beat on occasionally when they have great speed AND bend to the outside.

I guess. If I want a amazing run blocking tackle that can also hold up against all pass rushers, I'm taking Orlando brown over mcg. Mcg just has to many questions marks and struggled in the biggest games in pass pro. Brown didn't. And if u draft mcg ur putting him at rt and hoping to iron out the issues. Which I fairness we have a good oline coach now. I'm not trusting mcg to protect his blindside anymore than ogbuehi. Maybe 3rd rounder was a little too hard he'd probably be a second rounder next year bc u have the next whitworth coming out next year in Trey Adams.but bottom line is I don't think he can hold up against the pass rushers in the NFL. Myles Garrett, takk.mccinley, von mileer, etc. I think he'd get eaten alive. So if we're going overall, I'll take brown over mcg.
With that said, I still disagree because he wasn't "always" destroyed by speed rushers as you claim. If that were true, it'd be splattered across nearly every scouting report written by respected draft sites.
According to this link https://247sports.com/college/notre-dame/Article/Mike-McGlinchey-nations-top-tackle-on-Pro-Football-Focus--113408948), McGlinchey was the highest rated OT in college football at 90.6. He did allow 3 sacks in 2017 along with 2 QB hits and 10 QB hurries, which put his pass blocking in the middle of the pack. However, his run blocking was ridiculously good, "obliterating the competition" to quote the link.
And also, Andre Smith struggles with speed rushers in the NFL yet he still was a projected an early first-rounder and went to the Bengals at 6. Do I think Smith was worth the 6 overall looking back? Probably not, but he still deserved to be a first rounder.
And there are not a ton of AMAZING OTs in next year's draft that would put McGlinchey as a third rounder either. If so, McGlinchey wouldn't be rated the top overall OT in college football. Clearly you're overrating next year's class.
Personally, I think you greatly undervalue run blocking and overvalue pass blocking.
