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!

Right, it makes sense when you consider it. Oftentimes, a simple incompletion is the preferential outcome of a dropback.
You'll see that often in Tweets hyping up CBs as well. For example, someone might post something saying "Opposing QBs have a passer rating of 9.8 when targeting Sauce Gardner. They'd earn a 39.6 passer rating if they just threw every pass into the dirt."
Basically just means you're probably better off not targeting the guy he's covering because an incompletion is the best-case scenario. [Reply]

McDuffie was an absolute stud yesterday. He was glued to the receiver in key points of the game. He has All Pro written all over him. A truly shutdown corner. [Reply]
There was a play, I don't remember if a ball was caught behind him or a RB ran past him but man, he caught up to him so damn fast. He has some crazy acceleration. [Reply]

I remember that play. I was watching and thought, "Wow, who is #21?" He was moving at cartoonish speed. It took me a minute to click through my mental roster and identify him since he hasn't been back for long. [Reply]

Yeah, he was really impressive. I think there was one play where a receiver got away from him and made a catch, but even that may have just been a coverage design thing. Otherwise he was blotting out a receiver on every play. [Reply]
