Bad draft picks cause riots with fanbases, but good draft picks feel oh, so great. One pick we’ll be happy getting used to getting accolades is the San Francisco 49ers’ first pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, tackle Mike McGlinchey. A pick who won ESPN’s NFC West Rookie of the year.
49ers reporter Nick Wagoner broke things down:
The immediate returns on McGlinchey have been positive, particularly in the area most expected, the run game. For what it’s worth, Pro Football Focus rates McGlinchey as one of the best run-blocking tackles in the league, and the statistics are there to support it.
