they traded Trent McDuffie in part because like we think spags and Dave Merritt, their defensive backs coach, we think that they can develop that position at an incredibly high level.

So we don't need to spend $30 million there.

If we've got to make a tough decision, we will spend it on a defensive end or an offensive lineman or, you know, or obviously the quarterback.

I think New Orleans was probably going to take Delane at eight, so they did have to do this to get him.

However, was it their biggest need?

And I think that's a fair question.

I think Delane's a really good player, and Delane was really helped by the injury situation with Jermod McCoy, which I feel terrible for the kid.

A lot of teams regard him as a one-contract guy.

I know there are teams that medically failed him.

And so that's why he fell out of the first round.

But once the McCoy situation kind of crystallized, it left Delane alone as the number one corner.

And then, you know, Delane runs that 40 at 438, which is like, yeah, this guy is as explosive and twitchy as you'd want him to be, even though it may not look like it at all times on tape because he's so smooth.

Uh, you know, I think the chiefs feel like they, they, they come out of the draft with a real potential number one corner.

Um, and they get them obviously at whatever, it'll be a quarter of the price that they would have had to pay for Trent McDuffie.

Yeah, I think he'll be a captain in his second year.

I don't think you're going to miss on him.

Now, it's like you said, it's kind of like, all right, it's like we were talking about with Tate.

It's like, can he elevate to being a top three safety in the NFL?

And I think he probably can.

I remember talking to Matt Patricia about him and the comp he had.
