Eh - good luck eating up blocks at 240 lbs in the NFL.

I like McDonald a lot, but more as a rotational OLB for odd fronts or a Wide-9 sort of guided missile on 3rd downs in an even front.

Now he MIGHT be able to be that guy here w/ Karlaftis and Omenihu. You go out there on 3rd downs and go into a sort of LEO front w/ Karlaftis shading and Omenihu sliding inside - you can really do a lot to provide excellent rush angles for McDonald at that point.

But I'm not gonna rely on him as a 3-down player in a 4-3. Even having him out there for 70% of the snaps in a 3-4 may be asking a bit much unless you're 2-gapping in front of him.

He's just awfully light, man.
