If rumors are true, sounds like Denver may do something to trade up from 64... depending on who and what they give up, I'm half and half at this point. I'd prefer them stay where they are given how things are falling.

The more I read about this guy, the more I like the pick. He has exceptional makeup - no character concerns. The chances of this pick being a bust seem extremely low barring injuries. I'm not sure if he'll be a shutdown corner (hope so) but his floor seems to be a very good consistent player for this defense.

I'm a little disappointed to hear that they're focusing on him being an outside guy.
Slot CB is one of the most difficult positions to find in the modern NFL and this kid is born for the role. Smart, agile and quick - exactly what you want to see there. And he's aggressive coming downfield so he'll be stout against the run. I just think pigeonholing him into an outside role where larger WRs tend to play that can give him a hard time due to him just flat having short arms is a mistake. I want him playing more inside with Sneed out wide. But hell, if that turns out to be necessary, I'm confident that's what will happen. It just seems to be something of an old school mentality. "Well if this kid is our most talented CB and we spent a 1st rounder on him, we need to have him outside!" I just think that's wrong in the current NFL.

I'll bet the kid MURDERED every interview he had. I was honestly blown away by the maturity and confidence he immediately put out there. His personality is just impossible to miss.

Here to profess my love for this pick. After studying him a lot more last night, it's real hard to imagine this kid busting. Elite fluidity, elite acceleration. He's so damn quick and fluid that he often runs the routes better than the receiver.
I watched him cover some USC receiver last night on a hook route and McDuffie simply broke faster, had better feet and just simply ran the route better than the receiver did. His zone recognition skills are already NFL caliber. Torpedo in the run game, good ball skills..... Not sure if this has been mentioned yet or not, but he JUST turned 21 in February. He's a day one starter both inside and outside and he should only get bigger, faster and smarter. He'll only be turning 26 when he's due for his second contract, which means we'll be getting a player at his legitimate peak when the bill comes due.

Honestly shocks me that anyone is against this pick after Brandon Flowers.
He is a more athletic, faster, stronger version of B-Flow. And having two corners who can offer elite run support is amazing. That's even more important for this team since we still don't have an enforcer safety.

I think he turned 21 in September and will turn 22 fairly early in the season. Still a very young prospect though

Yeah I don’t buy this kid only playing outside. Sneed has played outside, inside, covered TE’s. He’s done a lot.
I think McDuffie is gonna be used all over the place and it’s going to **** Ho pre-snap for QB’s.

I think we'll see McDuffie be that chess piece. They may start him outside right away but it wouldn't shock me to see Snead and McDuffie move back and forth between slot and outside CB moving forward.

Either way, young guy with room to grow. I just got caught up with the thread. There's really nothing to say that hasn't been said already. And i'm positive he's one of the players with a 1st round grade Veach was talking about.
