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!

Even more, the team had previously devalued corner in general, only using day three picks and UDFA'S.
For what it's worth, I agreed in general, because the current rules emphasis really neuter corner play. Churn and burn, in general, I say.
Clearly, I was incorrect. I wasn't against the pick, just surprised. [Reply]

I think most.people here felt like you and, to be honest, it was a reasonable take given the results. I was probably a little more keen on investing a little more there, but people wanting us to focus on the DL first...totally fair imo. [Reply]

Yeah. But if I'm going to gloat when I'm right ( and let's be honest, I'ma gloat like a mufucka) I'll also admit when I was wrong. Lol [Reply]
Absolute soul stealing, game changing, heart crushing stud. Never imagined he would be this good, and especially this fast. It's absurd he lasted into the 20s, NFL GMs are so stupid sometimes. [Reply]

He's going to need to pile up some interceptions to be considered with those guys as the best. That presents a problem because they don't throw his way very often because he is so good. [Reply]
Heading into Monday night’s rematch vs. Philadelphia, Chiefs’ CB @trent_mcduffie still remembers the feeling of beating the Eagles in Super Bowl LVII. But he and the Chiefs’ defense also remember giving up 35 points.
