If Mike McGlinchy performs well he may move himself up the draft board and out of reach for the Panthers barring a trade. Carolina currently picks No. 24 in the first round and depending on the needs of other teams, McGlinchy could be a commodity.

"McGlinchey will need to add more strength and mass to his athletic frame in order to hold up against NFL power, but his technique and instincts are pro-ready. He could be a polarizing prospect based on inconsistencies from his tape, but he gets guys blocked at a much higher rate than he loses his rep. McGlinchey should become an early starter at either tackle position, but his ability to handle bull rushers and power at the point of attack will define the type of career he has."
