The pick of Mike McGlinchey initially came as a surprise, considering the San Francisco 49ers have other pressing needs on the roster. However, with the current situation on the offensive line, the selection makes a lot of sense.
Starting left tackle Joe Staley will turn 34 years old come the 2018 season and McGlinchey could be a possible replacement once he retires.
ESPN’s NFL Insider Adam Schefter reported that San Francisco has traded right tackle Trent Brown to the New England Patriots.
49ers are trading OT Trent Brown and pick number 143 overall to the New England Patriots in exchange for pick number 95 overall, per @FieldYates and me.
