Nope. TJ McDonald, the safety from USC, is Tim McDonald's son.
This is Vance McDonald. Does he look like Tim McDonald to you?

I like Vance McDonald a lot - not sure if we needed to trade up from 61, but I like him more than Kelce. He's not as good a receiver yet, but he's got the longest arms of any TE in the draft other than Toilolo (34 3/8), big hands, he's huge (6'4, 267 with 31 reps at the combine with long arms) and a solid blocker. I like McDonald at 55 way more than Ertz at 34 and I'm not surprised he went ahead of Kelce.

Have a feeling Vernon will play Delaney's H-back role when Vance is in. Will allow Vermon to have more opportunity.

i wanted a TE who was 6'6" or taller but whatev

I dont mind the pick, i just dont like the trade up and lose #178. Hopefully he catches & blocks better than Delanie. Dude looks like he can play.

I don't care if he is Tim McDonald's son or not. That has zero to do with it. Guess we have a good bubble screen blocker now. -_-

McDonald is a better athlete and has a larger catch radius than Zach Ertz because of his much longer arms. He's 6'4 but he has long arms for his height compared to the other TE's in the draft. Toilolo is the only guy who is a much bigger target at TE (maybe Eifert - McDonald's arms are more than an inch longer, but Eifert is damn good at high-pointing balls).
