This is a massive hole that is filled for the #chiefs. Trent McDuffie is considered by almost everyone as the 3rd best CB in this draft. The first two went off the board at 3 and 4.
The @Chiefs make a big move for a top CB (and my model's #8 overall prospect) in Trent McDuffie, who allowed 3.1 yards/target in 2021 at Washington (best in FBS, min. 30 targets).
Could be a key piece to counter the wealth of receiving talent in the AFC come playoff time!

I think McDuffie is gonna be used all over the place and it’s going to fuck Ho pre-snap for QB’s.

Agreed.
The Chiefs could use McDuffie and Sneed interchangeably, moving McDuffie inside to match smaller shiftier slots, or Sneed inside when they want to match bigger slots, as an example.
And they're both excellent blitzers. So you can imagine they'll get creative there too. [Reply]

Both excellent blitzers. Both great against the run.
The Chiefs have needs at receiver after the Tyreek Hill trade, but instead trade up with the Patriots (who have a real need at cornerback) for Trent McDuffie, the best CB in this draft not named Sauce Gardner or Derek Stingley Jr. McDuffie is an aggressive man cornerback with great range who will fit perfectly in Steve Spagnuolo’s defense.

The Athletic gave us the 3rd lowest grade in the 1st on the McDuffie pick (Patriots got the lowest; someone else also got a C-)
Whatever.
The picks just a pretty obvious fit. He wasn't going to make it past Buffalo and that was what it cost to move up.
I might have preferred standing pat and taking Kyler Gordon at 29 (in fact I'm pretty sure I would have), but that doesn't change the fact that this is a solid choice in a vacuum. [Reply]

Love Gordon, but love McDuffie even more. Legit 1st round talent/grade, when we didn’t think we’d get one.

Don't care about "draft grades". How many years did the Jets "win the draft"?
Kid can play it's a win. Kid is hurt a lot but can play it's a push. Kid busts it's an L.
But if you want to draft nerd, Cheatriot Fuckbag pick was pretty bad. That dude is available. in the second round. Fucking Simmons on his podcast was talking about taking the keys away from an elderly parent and we may be getting there with Belicheat. :-):-):-) [Reply]
