Texans Land McDonald, Boost Defense

0:00On April 25, Houston, Texans, GM Nick Casario made a bold move in the draft, trading two picks to jump up two spots and snaggle Ohio State defensive. Tackle K to McDonald at Pick 36. This All-American was high on their board, turning him into an instant fan-fay for the team. McDonald had been building buzz with the Texans for weeks, hitting up a top 30 visit at their stadium after the combine, sitting down for a formal interview there. When linking up again at Ohio State's pro day last month, fans lost it when Houston landed him, stunned that a first round lock slid today too but hyped about the value, even with the cost and picks. As 6 foot 2 and 326 pounds, he's built to dominate up front. Last season, he anchored the Big Tens top run defense, racking up 65 tackles, 9 for loss, 3 sacks, 2 forced fumbles, and a recovery peer disruption machine. Now with McDonald locking down the line, the Texans defense looks stacked and ready to roll into next season.
