Mike McGlinchey. 29. player. 36. . Offensive Tackle. Seattle Seahawks

Despite the Seattle Seahawks finding their groove over the 49ers in Week 3, there’s no questioning how problematic Seattle’s offensive line has been four weeks into the regular season.

While the Hawks added first-round draftee Germain Ifedi to bolster the line in the NFL Draft a year ago, a failure to repeat this approach in 2017 could mean even more pressure on quarterback Russell Wilson. He’s taken his fair share of hits already this season.

Notre Dame tackle Mike McGlinchey is the next best offensive lineman on our board, and he’d be a 6-foot-7, 310-pound upgrade over current right tackle Garry Gilliam or anyone else Seattle wants to throw out there.

McGlinchey is tough, nasty and would immediately add much-needed strength along a weak O-line.

He said he wanted to return to Notre Dame next season, but other players have said that before only to turn pro.
