Obviously, we don't have a huge need for speed-rushing DTs. With Keyunta Dawson, Eric Foster, and Raheem Brock on the roster, it would same like a wasted draft pick. I thought McDonald may be a guy who could slip very late in the draft or be undrafted purely because of his size. Additionally, with teams moving away from the 4-3 this year and no teams that I'm aware of moving to a 4-3 system, it would seem the likelihood that smallish pass-rushing interior DL slipping out of the draft is higher than in previous years. He could provide camp competition if he falls off of the board and I wouldn't be surprised to see him nabbed by the Colts as an UDFA b/c of this team's love affair with speed on the inside of the DL.

Figured some might like the heads up.
