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!
He and his receiver will be ghost town, never a part of the action. McDuffie Island will grow over time when people realize he's shutting his guy down. [Reply]
While not hearing anything about the guy IS a nothingburger, we did hear quite a bit about Eric Berry and Marcus Peters in their offseasons. Both guys were making plays day 1 and then into training camp. It's nice to hear that kind of stuff, of course. [Reply]
Shake my head. He IS shining. I've mentioned this before, you aren't going to hear about McDuffie. His play isn't Marcus Peters baiting the QB to throw after letting a guy get open and then recovering fast enough to make the interception.
McDuffie's play is "the QB never throws to his receiver because he's blanketed" and that's exactly what is happening so far, save a miracle catch by Skyy Moore. They're moving McDuffie all over the defense and he's running with the 1s
Trent McDuffie is putting together a strong day in coverage.

I've never had such a wide range of emotions during the play where Marcus Peters ripped the ball out of Kelvin Benjamin's hands and then immediately punted the ball into the stands. "Yes! Peters is an absolute beast!" and then "NOOOOO!!! YOU INCREDIBLY STUPID FUCK!!!" [Reply]
I think I'd rather have the guy that plays bigger than his size than the guy who plays smaller than his size. Elam is kind of a weak competitor. Bad tackler, lazy fundamentals and relies on his length rather than being in the right place at the right time.
Loses his leverage unnecessarily.
Allows a little too much clearance early in the route.
Needs better open-and-sprint timing when squatting underneath.
Vertical specialists can overtake and stack him.
Inconsistent digesting route combinations.
Too much panic and grab in his 2021 tape.
Can improve his eye balance between the man and the ball.
Doesn't play to his size in run support duties.
Inconsistent coming to balance as open-field tackler. [Reply]
