EXCLUSIVE: Kansas City Chiefs and Andy Reid need to address this missing link if they wish for Super Bowl return
Sneed’s departure was not only significant in losing a key player but also in the potential reevaluation of the team’s cornerback lineup. Now, the Chiefs are left with a top-three rotation featuring 2023 All-Pro slot cornerback Trent McDuffie, alongside Joshua Williams and Jaylen Watson, both drafted in the 2022 NFL Draft.
The question looms: Is this trio enough to maintain the defense’s elite status, or does the team need to invest in premium draft picks to bolster their cornerback depth?While some argue for adding a premium draft pick to enhance the cornerback group, there are compelling reasons to believe otherwise. McDuffie’s proven prowess, versatility, and status as an every-down corner make him a cornerstone of the defense. Despite concerns about Watson and Williams, their previous performances suggest they can provide stable contributions throughout the season if needed.
