Eric Edholm's Commentary
Who knew Kliff Kingsbury loves tight ends so much? McBride can watch and learn daily from Zach Ertz and become a good "move" receiver. We didn't love McBride quite as much as others did, but he provides a high floor as an NFL contributor.

Eric Edholm's Commentary
A few years ago, the Cardinals took Zach Allen, and Thomas is a similar type of prospect, but perhaps with more penetration ability. He's a horse who played a ton of snaps for the Aztecs and is used to kicking inside, which he did extensively early in his career. Thomas is more of a pressure player than a sack artist. His energy will help this unit.

Eric Edholm's Commentary
Sanders' fit was a big debate in scouting circles, especially after he showed up at the combine weighing 228 pounds. That's ultra-light for an edge rusher, and he was back at 247 at his pro day a month later. Sanders also played out of position often for the Bearcats, as it was what that defense needed. He's a mystery as a projection but there's something to work with here.
