I remember listening to Sirius radio SB preview and they had Albert Breer on. This is just a crazy story.

Veach, Spags and Merritt all loved McDuffie. They had resigned themselves to thinking he would be picked around 18-20. When the Patriots were on the clock the Chiefs called just to see if it was even possible. It was essentially a cold call.

Breer said the Chiefs were absolutely beside themselves in shock that Bill wasn’t going to take McDuffie. Breer said the scouts all loved him in NE but Bill felt a little uneasy about McDuffie being able to play outside full time. He liked him but didn’t love him.

Veach mentioned the Bills were trying to trade up and Bill knew it. He agreed to trade and the rest is history. We jumped Buffalo and they got Cole Strange.

Breer said Veach and the entire staff were so sure of McDuffie like they were Mahomes.

Guess it wasn’t a total loss bc Bill got Gonzalez the next draft and he’s a top 10 corner. But man
