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.

Here’s what @dpbrugler had to say about Trent McDuffie. pic.twitter.com/kL3dDnqFr2

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!

I admit I haven’t seen enough of McDuffie to make a comparison. But I’ve read a lot about him since last night. His size combined with the way they talk about his skill set, physicality, competitiveness, and intelligence brings Antoine Winfield to mind. If he’s anything close to Winfield it’s a helluva pick.

I think you might just drop a tongue on his bung in 5 seconds and get in line for sloppy seconds.

Sneed is 6’0, probably just under 200lbs today

Mcduffie is 5’11 195. He’s like our second biggest CB based on listed size

Agree with this and would also point out Mathieu is only 5’9”. Fenton was one of the highest ranked corners on PFF at a point last year and he’s basically the same height/weight as McDuffie.

From Bob McGinn:

3. TRENT McDUFFIE, Washington (5-10 ½, 193, 4.48, 1): Third-year junior. “He’s late one, early two,” one scout said. “I think he can play outside. Solid player. To say he’ll be a starter depends where he goes. Has good balance; you don’t see him on the ground. He has a knack for understanding routes.” Short arms (29 3/4), small hands (8 ¾). “He was clearly the more instinctive player, the better player, the more polished corner outside (than teammate Kyler Gordon),” a second scout said. “He’s a solid No. 2 corner. He’s going to be overdrafted just because people have to reach on corners. He’s a steady eddie. Very polished. A-plus young man. He’s got a good feel in zone and can do some press work. He’s going to come up a little short against those NBA power forwards outside. Desmond Trufant came out of there (in 2013). This guy wasn’t maybe quite as fast or as explosive but maybe a little better player. He’d be a good fall-back option between 20 and 30 if you didn’t get one of the top guys. You know what you’re getting, but is he a shut-down island corner? Maybe not.” Finished with 94 tackles, two picks and 10 PBUs as a three-year starter. Wonderlic of 19. From Westminster, Calif.

Who da fuq is Bob McGinn? Sounds like some cartoon character.

Every one of these seems on the negative/pessimistic side.

Most of those takes on McDuffie are asinine.

KnowMo is desperately trying to push a narrative.

It’s Case-of-Dildos Joe…what did you expect?

[UChieffyBugger]

Darrell Revis and Tre White are both 5 foot 11 and Marshon Lattimore is pretty much that too so I'm not worried about height.

McGinn’s scouts weren’t particularly kind to Benitto either.

They sound like ****ing morons if we’re being honest.

[Rainbarrel]

Hiding a 6'9" criminal isn't easy. Still try the Raiders, Knowmo

[MahomesMagic]

Those criticisms of his height make sense why he is not a top ten pick.

If you're spending a top ten pick on a corner you want a guy who can shut down everyone and I would assume McDuffie could struggle against the giant WR's.

But in today's NFL how many Jalen Ramseys are there? If he can shut down the faster, twitch guys...well, he is incredibly useful.
