First Round Targets

What might cause a slide is that he's a guy that isn't terribly scheme diverse. There will be teams that just flat won't have him on their boards in the 1st or 2nd day, IMO.

So there will need to be 3-4 teams that REALLY like him and see a great way to use him. And then he needs to hope that those 3-4 teams don't have someone on the board when they pick that they like just a liiiiitle bit more.

That's why I like doing that CP Mock - I really started to get an understanding of why guys slide several years back as I was putting boards together for a couple different teams and found myself with some guys who I had as a top 30 player for one team and not in the top 75 for another team. And invariably I was able to get those guys for the team I liked them on a round later than I expected to.

Because that's just how slides happen. I will always say that's why Omenihu fell as far as he did - he was a strict 4-3 guy and there were just guys a bunch of 4-3 teams liked a little bit better.

Then of course the 3-4 Texans took him, he spun his wheels for a while and then got dumped for a 6th round pick to a 4-3 team that could actually put him to use.

Scheme diversity prevents draft slides and I question if McDonald has it.

I agree. He looks incredibly lanky for a DE. More like a safety to me. The comp for him is Randy Gregory and honestly that could not be more appropriate.

I cannot see a 24 year old undersized speed rusher going in the first. That alone is too much stacked against him, but I think this DL class is gonna push him down the board.

I don’t think he fits here but they could try something different. I just see a guy like Derrick Hall who has everything we want but is a tick off on his weight at 254.

Idk guys. I love Foskey but Omenihu seems to be in that role. Really thinking Derrick Hall is the guy
