With the No. 9 pick in the NFL Draft, the San Francisco 49ers selected Notre Dame offensive tackle Mike McGlinchey.

Fantasy Impact:

This is somewhat shocking considering how thin the 49ers are at linebacker, though it's not a bad pick. McGlinchey might be every bit as talented as his teammate Quenton Nelson, and he just happens to play a more important position. He will start at right tackle with Joe Staley being the statue at left tackle. After acquiring Weston Richburg in free agency, the 49ers offensive line is looking to be an above-average unit. This does nothing but help the run-game and Jimmy Garoppolo in fantasy football.
