As previously mentioned by others, near the end of the first round would be optimal--a successful team who picks CMac will recognize his value and put him in a place to win immediately.  He's not going to do well on teams at the top of the draft, which almost universally have more pressing needs (and generally poorer OLs).  Plus, I think we all suffer from a bit of the Cardinal-tinted goggles, but not unjustifiably so :)
