If the G-Men land Andrew Norwell in free agency, offensive tackle has to be a top priority in the draft. The Giants have questions to answer at both right and left tackle this offseason, and Mike McGlinchey could be a steal at the top of the second-round.

Notre Dame’s left tackle is beginning to slide on some draft analysts’ big boards. ESPN’s Todd McShay didn’t include the Fighting Irish prospect in the first-round of his most recent mock draft. NFL Network’s Bucky Brooks and Daniel Jeremiah both didn’t include McGlinchey in their mock drafts.

This pick is very similar to Jacksonville’s selection of Cam Robinson at No. 34 overall in last year’s draft.

Connor Williams and Kolton Miller are two offensive tackles on the rise. Quenton Nelson, Will Hernandez, Billy Price, and James Daniels all have the potential to be first-round picks, which in turn, could lead to McGlinchey falling to the second-round.

The 6-foot-8, 312-pound prospect earned Pro Football Focus’ top grade for an offensive tackle in 2017.

McGlinchey is far from a finished product, but he would immediately help New York’s offensive line. He would be an upgrade over Ereck Flowers on the left side of the offensive line or could flourish as a right tackle at the next level.

The Giants could look to add a running back, cornerback, or pass rusher at the top of the second-round. But getting one of the best offensive tackles in this year’s class at No. 34 overall would likely make most Big Blue fans happy.
