DE10 - Ray McDonald, Florida	Official Bio NFL.com Profile
Height: 6-3 Weight: 281 40 yard dash: 4.88 Grade: 82
Strengths: A top prep player, McDonald had a strong career for the Gators. McDonald has a solid frame and despite a lack of great timed speed, he has a good burst off the line of scrimmage. One of the rare defensive ends in this class who can hold his own at the point of attack, McDonald has good strength and really improved his technique in 2006, as he started to use his hands more effectively. Weaknesses: McDonald has a good initial burst but does not have very good long speed. He has a tendency to get too high and get taken out of the play when the blocker can reach his body. He needs to develop more pass rushing moves. McDonald had a pair of serious knee injuries while at Florida, which yields concerns about his durability. Overall: McDonald may be considered a "tweener" who does not have the bulk to play defensive tackle or the speed to play defensive end after moving over to the tackle position halfway through the 2006 season. He projects to be a very solid pro but is unlikely to ever record double digit sacks. He may be best suited for a defensive end position in a 3-4 scheme because of his strength and ability to hold up well at the point of attack.
