Player Notes

CB Trent McDuffie Bio

  • 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

CBScheme 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.
ManA 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.
SlotThe 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.
