After calming down some after the Bodine gone news, I would take McGlinchey over a Center in round 1.I agree....
We would still almost be assured at least getting Frank Ragnow in round 2.
In the 2017 Draft, it looks like Ethan Pocic was the first Center taken with pick #58 in round two and then Pat Eiflein went with pick #70 in round 3.
There probably will be at least one Center going in round 1 this year but I doubt 3 will go by our pick #46 in the 2nd round. The Bengals probably even have a 4th Center that they like which may mean a round 3 pick is used.
In my mind, Legit Left Tackles are harder to come by, so I would take McGlinchey who former NFL GM Charlie Casserly says is a top 15 player and even recommended him for the Bengals to play on the right side early and then switch with Cordy Glenn later putting Glenn at right tackle maybe in McGlinchey's 2nd or 3rd year.
Glenn, Boling, Ragnow, McGlinchey - (with Hopkins, Westerman, Fisher, Hart etc competing for the last Guard spot)
* This would seem like an Offensive Line overhaul to me and be done after round 2.
be nice if McGlinchey would slide to the 21 spot....
