Notre Dame’s 6-foot-8, 315-pound offensive tackle could have come in at No. 1 on this list, but a poor outing against Miami has caused him to slide to No. 3. Miller writes that McGlinchey is the most pro-ready tackle in this year’s draft class.

The Fighting Irish’s senior left tackle would immediately help New York in pass protection and would allow Big Blue the ability to play Ereck Flowers at right tackle. If the Giants were to re-sign Pugh in free agency and take McGlinchey early in the first-round it would undoubtedly improve New York’s offense.

McGlinchey has all the tools to be a cornerstone left tackle at the next level, but there is still plenty of football and evaluations left before determining the top tackle in this year’s class.
