Mike McGlinchey OT NFL Draft

OVERALL

Mike McGlinchey has issues (needs to add strength, needs to bend better in the run game) but is an excellent pass-blocker. He requires almost no projection because Notre Dame's scheme transitions so well to the NFL. That will add value to his name in an era where offensive line play is so bad.

GRADE: 7.00 (Round 1)

PRO COMPARISON: Jack Conklin, Tennessee Titans
