My Take
Will McDonald IV intrigues me as a player still writing his story. A 6-foot-4 defensive end out of Pewaukee, Wisconsin, taken 15th overall in the 2023 draft, he carries the weight of a first-round pedigree and a name that literally bears generational history. I'm drawn to the arc from a Waukesha high schooler to Iowa State standout to a New York Jets first-rounder; that climb signals real hunger. Pass rushers with his length and youth are exactly the kind of high-ceiling project I love to watch develop. He's not a finished product yet, and that unfinished promise is precisely what makes him worth following.
