They are still working on getting the locker room the way they want not only on the field but also off the field. McG is from all i heard a great locker room guy. This is fair...because I agree the Raiders would have taken him. So at least 2 teams had that type of grade on him. It just didn't match up with the draftniks.

We all fall in love with certain guys in the draft, which is a lot of what makes the process fun. I was in love with Landry, and he's still on the board at #19, so I guess the NFL evaluators didn't like him as much as I did. Still, gotta move on. The players, as always, have to prove it on the field. Absolutely. Once the knee jerk is over, it's all good. I think he'll be fine. I don't think he has elite tackle potential, but he should be safe. I would have rather gone defense, but I also didn't know the brown stuff if that was true. Plus, this draft could still kick major butt in the second / third. So it's still early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groo Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Why pass on better prospects at positions of greater needs. So far being gifted Jimmy G had been Lynches only saving grace as GM So very bummed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N4L Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Judging by the compensation the raiders got for moving back (3rd and a 5th) it doesn't seem like there were very many teams trying to move up. I'm warming up to this the more I watch the film. If brown is really MIA, then it we would have had a huge hole at tackle. I mean last year we had freaking Zane Beatles playing T for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
48 1/2ers Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 I Always value Geoff Schwartz offensive line opinions, he's pretty spot on with that area from what i've noticed. He likes McGlinchey as do most reports I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know that he's a left tackle, but even if he's "just" a right tackle, if he's good at it, it's a big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, as Schwartz mentioned a few months ago, most of the top pass rushers are actually lining up across the RT making it just as important as the LT position. Miller/Mack/Lawrence/Graham/etc all rush from that side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he plays well for us for a long time. Shanahan really wanted to help Jimmy G by getting his run game jump started. Granted, it did suck last year. McKinnon and McGlintchey are two big investments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Brown's injuries and weight issues (and maybe the 2 are related) I would much rather have McG on the right side and Brown backing up both tackle spots. If we can get a 2nd or 3rd this year, well and good. However having a starting quality tackle on 7th rounder money for 1 more year will pay for itself. Then we could look at getting a comp pick in FA if he decides to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
