PFF's Sam Monson opined Washington cornerback Trent McDuffie as the best fit for the Vikings, who are slated to have the 12th overall draft pick. Monson wrote:
At Pick No. 12 overall, there's a chance Minnesota has a shot at the top two players at the position in Ahmad "Sauce" Gardner from Cincinnati or Derrick Stingley, Jr., out of LSU. If those players are both gone, Trent McDuffie may actually prove to be the perfect scheme fit.
McDuffie put up phenomenal tape in college, but he doesn't tick the measurables boxes that a lot of teams need to see at cornerback. He checked in at 5-foot-11, 193 pounds and with arms that are under 30 inches in length. Those features would often get a cornerback branded as a slot-only type for certain NFL teams, but new Head Coach Kevin O'Connell comes from a defense in Los Angeles that got high-end play out of smaller cornerbacks.
Darious Williams just signed a big-money contract in free agency off the back of his Rams production, and he is shorter and lighter than McDuffie, albeit with slightly longer arms.
Ultimately, if the Vikings trust the tape, they could grab a player who didn't give up a touchdown in his final two seasons and allowed a meager 52.1 NFL passer rating into his coverage over that time.
