Nick Wright praised the Trent McDuffie trade from Kansas City's side, called McDuffie the best slot corner in football, predicted the Chiefs stay put at No. 9 in the draft and use their first-rounders on skill positions and defensive line, expects Jalen Watson to leave in free agency, and believes the Eagles must trade A.J. Brown, possibly to New England for the 31st pick.

Trent McDuffie to finish top 1 at his position, by interceptions
“McDuffie's an excellent player... a good outside corner and the single best slot corner in football. I think he is the best in football at slot corner.”
Too vague to check — we could not tell what would count as right.

Jaylen Watson to move
“Jalen Watson, their other starting corner, seventh round pick, is gonna hit free agency and get paid a bunch of money by other people, by somebody else... They are letting him walk.”
