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’s rocketing up the charts of my favorite Chiefs ever. Great talent, well-spoken, humble, hyper-competitive. Not sure how he dropped to 21, but excellent work by Veach to snap him up. Bet a lot of GMs are kicking themselves. I didn’t watch much video on him, Gardner, or Stingley because I figured they’d all be long gone by the time our pick rolled around. I had McDuffie going top 12. Even thought he might go before Stingley, which he likely would if they did a redraft. [Reply]

I think I watched that hit on Tyreek probably 500 times. I still can't comprehend how he fell into the 20s in the draft, it makes zero sense if he was putting this kind of shit on film. [Reply]

They guy is ALL over the field and in on almost every play. Reminds me a little of Troy Polamalu except Mcduffie is doing it playing corner. [Reply]
