The Kansas City Chiefs made a move during the first night of the 2022 NFL draft, trading up to select highly-touted Washington cornerback Trent McDuffie.
It was an unexpected move, but one that immediately shook up the draft. Chiefs GM Brett Veach is the man at the forefront of decisions, and he was beaming with optimism while speaking about his move up for McDuffie.
“With our first pick – it’s a little funny – every year, we go through what we think is every scenario possible,” Veach said. “We didn’t go over (Trent) McDuffie’s scenario, I don’t think we thought he’d be there. Some of the trades, even the player trades that happened today, I think, impacted us.”
