Will McDonald NFL Draft Prospect

[Cfinnerty16]

He’s killing it during the Senior Bowl practices and turning a lot of heads. He’s a unicorn of sorts and his stock is only going to continue to rise.

I've been seeing scouts talk him up big time. He beat a projected first rounder OL from Tennessee in the 1:1 drills

If Will can show some adequate cover skills, he could be very appealing to a team as a 3-4 OLB.

I think he's more a Micah Parsons style rusher. You're right if he could drop into coverage and move in space to cover the flat he will be a first rounder.

Careful you will be chastised for comparing him to the great Micah Parsons

Cowboys are my team and defense is my thing. Will would be similar but not the same. I mean more about having his hand in the dirt vs stand up.

Based on the tweets, it looks like Will made himself some money this week.

There’s an old saying about a person “not doing themselves any favors”. Looks like Will is doing himself favors aplenty.

Just needs to top it off with a big performance in the actual game.

Ya I know, there's plenty of loud mouths on here.

He'd be a great pick to mix with TJ Watt (6'4", 252 lbs) & Alex Highsmith (6'4", 242 lbs) at OLB for the Steelers. 33rd pick (1st if 2nd round - from Chicago for Claypool) or 50th pick in 2nd round.

Was listening to the Athletic's Chicago Bears reporter podcast, Hoge and Jahns, today and whoever they had reporting from the Senior Bowl said that Will was the standout performer overall so far. He was the only player mentioned. The Bears coaches are coaching the National side this year. Hoge and Jahns said the Bears, even with the No. 1 overall pick, would likely be drafting multiple defensive line players in this draft.

Good production in college and will do well in drills showing of his athleticism. I think he will be an enticing prospect. Pass rushers are probably the 3rd most valuable players in the NFL after QBs and OL

I beg your pardon?

In that context:

What this doesn't show is Will intercepting the pass after he ripped it out of the receiver!

That is what I saw!

Rose didn't get drafted because he had a major shoulder injury that was going to take over a year to heal.

Do you think Rose will wind up on a roster next year?

He’s doing what he needs to do. If you want to be a first rounder, then you need to dominate those Senior Bowl practices.
