As far as I can tell, Spags has his Strahan prototype (Jones), he has his Tuck prototype (Omenihu) and now he’s looking for his Umenyiora speed rusher.

I like Will McDonald, but he's 20 pounds lighter than Osi was. And saying "well he's tall, he can add 20 lbs of good weight' is seeing what you want to see. It's NOT easy to add 20 lbs of weight without losing your athleticism. Ask Karlaftis how that went for him at Purdue.
And yes, the Chiefs would almost certainly put him to use, but how can McDonald be some no-brainer selection when there's a CLEAR red flag here? He is not an NFL starting DE right now. Yet that's something you'll dismiss and say 'we'd have to take him if he's there' while saying that Addison wouldn't be on your board in the first because he didn't time well?
