Player Notes
- Trent McDuffie is one of those prospects that feels impossible not to love; besides size and length, he checks all the boxes to be a great corner in the NFL.
- Appears to have one of the best characters in this draft; great in interviews and has been praised for his football IQ as it also shows on film
- Has truly elite acceleration paired with very good long speed; also has amazing instincts for a corner prospect
- Very versatile skillset; great playing the run as a slot and could fit in multiple schemes as an outside corner
- Very good tackling and pursuit for a corner
- Short arms and not the greatest height to go along with it; limits his upside in press coverage and with his ball skills
- Not much experience in press coverage or zone coverage in general; has the traits to improve though

Grading Scale
Pot=Potential: players’ highest upside
Imp=Impact: player’s immediate impact
Int=Intercept: # of overall points subtracted from overall grade for a given position; the formula for each position comes up with a base overall which is then subtracted by the ‘Int’ # to get the final grade; each position’s base overall scale varies from 110-170.

| CB | Scheme Definition |
| Press- Cover 3 | A press-heavy scheme that depends on long and physical corners that have good straight-line speed; uses primarily cover 3 and variations of press-man coverage. |
| Man | A man-heavy scheme that depends on all-around great athletes that play best in man coverage; uses a variation of press-man and off-ball man coverage. |
| Balanced- Split safety | A split-safety scheme that depends on quick and instinctive corners that don’t have great press ability but have solid ball skills; uses primarily quarters coverage which is essentially man coverage for the DBs on most plays; cover 2 and cover 2-shell are also used in this scheme. |
| Slot | The traditional nickel-corner position needed in every defense; has good lateral agility and quickness, while also having good run defense and tackling. Is able to cover slot receivers and TEs one-on-one and has good zone instincts. |
Individual trait scale (1-7):
7 – Rare world-class skill; best in the league and no room for improvement | 6 – Great-elite skill; one of the best at that given trait but still has some room to improve | 5 – Very good; above average and has potential to be elite | 4 – Average; able to suffice but, not ideal long-term | 3 – Below average; able to suffice at college level | 2 – Poor; hinders overall play and is a liability to the team | 1 – Awful; not good enough to play given position at any level above D2 | Note: Consistency plays a large factor.
Overall Draft grade scale (15-100):
85+ – Generational talent; immediate all-pro/ potential HOF. | 83-85 – Bluechip prospect; immediate star with elite upside | 81-83 – High first-round talent; high-end starter/ elite potential. | 79-81 – First rounder; Day one starter/ boom or bust (low risk). | 76-79 – Replacement level starter/ boom or bust (high risk). | 73-76 – Will become good starter with 2-3 years/ high upside project. | 70-73 – Eventual average starter. | 68-70 – Day one backup/ potential starter. | 64-68 – Depth piece/ Special teamer | 64-0 – Practice squad/ league min. level; journeymen/ longshots | QBs have +5 draft value compared to average position.
