Round 3, Pick 93: Kaleb McGary, OT, Washington

Opinions are all over the place when the name Kaleb McGary gets dropped. There are plenty who believe he should be a second-round pick and others who wouldn’t touch him until day three. In this mock, he lands near the end of day two which is probably where he should go.

A right tackle at Washington, opinions also vary as to where he will play in the pros. Lance Zierlein of NFL.com seems to think he belongs inside as a guard:

"McGary has been a right tackle his entire career, but that could change once his athletic limitations are challenged by NFL-caliber rushers. He would benefit from a move inside to guard where his strength and ability to generate movement as a run blocker would outweigh his issues with lateral quickness. McGary could find early starter’s reps at guard, but struggles with balance and keeping blocks centered could lead to early growing pains that will require a team’s patience."

Just as many think he can remain at right tackle and be a mauler in the run game. Personally, I see McGary sticking with the tackle position but there’s nothing wrong with grabbing a solid player and seeing where he fits best.
