Craig Stout· Apr 24, 2026

Stout guessed the trade-up target would be Ruben Bayne, Jordan Tyson or Sonny Styles in that order; after the pick he said Delaine will start and play every snap from Week 1 as the Chiefs' CB1, and predicted Kansas City will not trade up again from pick 29.

“They're gonna be able to play him week one. He's going to play every snap, and he's going to be good.”
