Episode notes
Chiefs Got Strong Draft Equivalent For McDuffie
- Wright compares the McDuffie haul to past Chiefs trades and draft-value charts, saying the Chiefs got about 80–92% of Quinnen Williams value.
- He highlights the trade included the 29th, a third, a fifth and a sixth, equating to roughly the 20th overall pick in value.
Use New Picks To Restock Smartly
- Wright advises the Chiefs must hit on these new draft picks to stay A-list contenders, citing recent draft misses.
- He warns 2023 draft results were poor and this haul makes the 2024 draft critical to restock talent cheaply.
How The Chiefs Are Likely To Use Two Firsts
- Wright projects Kansas City will use pick nine on an offensive skill player and use 29/40 to target pass rushers or move around the board.
- He names Reuben Bain as an ideal pick at nine despite arm-length concerns.
