49ers sign first-round draft pick Mike Mcglinchey

-

SANTA CLARA — Mike Mcglinchey, the 49ers new starting right tackle upon his selection as their top draft pick, won’t be a contract holdout for his initial training camp.

Mcglinchey on Sunday night signed a four-year, $18.34 million contract that’s fully guaranteed, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Media. The 49ers confirmed the deal Monday morning.

Wide receiver Dante Pettis, a second-round selection, remains the only member of the 49ers’ nine-man draft class who is unsigned.

All players are to report Wednesday to training camp, with the first practice set for Thursday.

Taken ninth overall, Mcglinchey expressed no concern about his contract after going through the 49ers offseason program, saying: “It’s not my job to decipher that. I have people that do that for me. I’m here to play football and that’s what I’m going to do.”

Upon Mcglinchey’s first-round selection, the 49ers traded former starting right tackle Trent Brown to the New England Patriots. Mcglinchey figures to start at right tackle his first couple seasons before eventually replacing veteran Joe Staley at left tackle, where Mcglinchey lined up the past two seasons as a Notre Dame captain.

Five other players drafted in the top 10 remain unsigned: Baker Mayfield (Browns, No. 1), Sam Darnold (Jets, No. 3), Denzel Ward (Broncos, No. 4), Josh Allen (Bills, No. 7) and Roquan Smith (Bears, No. 8).
