    On McDonald, his run defense does not rate as good, very good. It is top drawer as rates are better than any other DT in 2026 draft class. It is the best I have seen of DT's in the past three years of the draft.

    He might only be a very good to great 2 down player, and so-so 3rd down player. But dude is very big and powerful . An immovable object who can push OL players backward as if they are on roller skates. Think prime Casey Hampton. Oh how he can update our run defense, and goal line defense!

    He is my #1 choice for now in round one until more information comes about QB Simpson.

    There are questions about Simpson he's a one-year starter and he faded at the end of last season.

    McDonald is high on my list for this draft. Lot to like there.

    Imagine having Davis and Porter Jr as your starting CBs.

    I'm not sure any of those three will make it to #21, Tyson worries me with his injury history.

    LOL .. I am going to catch so much hell for asking this question, but ....

    Any news on Jordyn Tysons medical? I know they already announced he would not be doing any of the drills at the combine.

    I keep hearing crazy talk about the Steelers moving up to get Tyson, but can they really afford to sit on their #1 pick this year if Tyson is out for the 2026 season?

    Tyson, Tate, Lemon in that order. I like all three though. Tyson has the medical, but I am not that worried about his injuries. His knee injury was 2022 and he missed 2023. He had a collarbone and a hamstring since then, neither of which are particularly concerning. He's big enough, explosive, a good route runner, and quality after the catch. As for Tate, I love him as a technical chain mover and route runner. Excellent in contested catches. Has size. He won't burn anyone, but can still win on deep routes. Lemon is more of a slot/outside hybrid. He's tough and is a good explosive route runner, just a touch smaller. He's a pretty good player too. I hope that Tyson or Tate are the ones that fall into our range. I wouldn't mind moving up to 15ish to grab either of the two.

    He's recovering from a hamstring injury; I don't think it's something that would put him out for the 2026 season.

    Out for the season? With a hamstring injury that he dealt with late in 2025? I highly doubt that. I get that he is going to skip the drills, but I'd be more concerned if he skipped them at his pro day too. He's over 3 years removed from his knee injury. I am not entirely sure that is a concern still.

    I haven't heard anything, but lets see what happens over the course of his pro day to see if there is anything to truly be worried about.

    Tyson has a long history of Injuries, and his current Hamstring Injury is from October. 4 months later with no football and Tyson still can't walk or run because of a Hamstring injury?

    I guess we will wait and see if he can do anything at his Pro Day.

    They some up Jordan Tyson's injury history pretty well. Collarbone injury, not a problem, all his lower body injuries could be a major problem.
