I dont see many issues with Mcdonnells defence TBH, for a lightweight he is pretty good. Positional play sometimes lets him down, but one-on-one he stops most linebreaks. Depending on the money he is on, I think he'd be a good reserve grader to have during origin. Under 100k of coarse. But he is a hard worker, who doesnt shy away from the tough stuff. He had all the talent in the world as a junior, and even though he has lost his speed and agility, its still not too bad, and I think WB would be able to use him well. The price is the major sticking point though, but off-contract, he may be willing to stay around because he isnt going to walk into a starting position anywhere in the comp, except if he as a winger, and even thats a stretch.
