Chiefs Made a Big Mistake Not Being More Aggressive in Trying to Trade for Quinton Dunbar

In just five games, Quinton Dunbar went from a raw, undrafted free agent out of Florida to one of the most promising cornerbacks in the entire league. While the Washington Redskins benefited from his standout play over the last five years, Dunbar demanded a trade out of D.C., resulting in the Skins dealing him to the Seattle Seahawks for a fifth-round pick.

While several teams had to be kicking themselves after Dunbar was traded for such a paltry draft pick, the Kansas City Chiefs, who could stand to make some improvements in the secondary, had to be downright livid.

The Redskins replaced Dunbar with Kendall Fuller, a former Chiefs corner that starred during their playoff run last year. This leaves the Chiefs with a cornerback depth chart featuring Charvarius Ward, Keith Reaser, and Rashad Fenton. Yikes.

Dunbar is a 6-2, 200-pound speedster with long arms and excellent ball skills. If that doesn't sound like a man coverage corner built specifically to play in Steve Spagnuolo's defense, I don't know what does.

Last season with the Redskins, Dunbar recorded four interceptions, eight pass breakups and 37 tackles across 11 games.

The Chiefs missed out on their chance to bring in an ideal replacement for Fuller in Dunbar, but inaction from Brett Veach allowed the 27-year-old corner to end up with another Super Bowl contender.
