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!

Fenton hasn't been bad on aggregate. He just has occasional bad beats while taking a ton of tough snaps.
Losing Fenton and not getting McDuffie back puts us in a REALLY bad spot against a team that has 3 dangerous WRs. And no Cook or Gay to deal with Knox.
Folks - this looks real real bad. I honestly have no idea how we can win this game. I'm sure Andy has a plan but suddenly that 6 point spread seems generous... [Reply]

Then you can blitz that mother****er with impunity

Would seem to indicate that he was very close and I don't think Fenton's availability was necessarily any sort of driving factor. Reid just seems too big picture for something like that in a mid-season game.

You gotta be able to get pressure with 4 and drop 7. It hasn't and won't likely change for a long time.
Yep. If you try to consistently blitz JA, you’re going to see some long TD passes to Diggs and Davis. [Reply]

Don't care. I'd rather take that chance and also improve our chances of forcing turnover and getting some good hits on Allen than let him stand there with all kinds of time and slowly carve our D up and take up the time, keeping mahomes on the sideline. [Reply]
