# Chris Clark: Clark made the Chiefs' mock draft selections: Sonny Styles in the first round, Zion Young at 40, Trigg at 74, Bud Clark at 109, Bryce Lance at 146 and cornerback Davis at 176. **Claimed:** Mar 2, 2026 **Pundit:** Chris Clark — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/pundits/chris-clark **Outlet:** Locked On Chiefs (podcast) — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/outlets/locked-on-chiefs-podcast **How it reached us:** said on air, transcribed by us **Original:** https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/pdrl.fm/194e78/lockedon.simplecastaudio.com/991e4a1b-5d12-4619-83ff-6448c2e3e44f/episodes/e80db42c-80a5-4bf4-928d-0784294d519c/audio/128/default.mp3?aid=rss_feed&awCollectionId=991e4a1b-5d12-4619-83ff-6448c2e3e44f&awEpisodeId=e80db42c-80a5-4bf4-928d-0784294d519c&feed=9czLVzrJ 6 checkable claims — 6 mock draft picks — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet.
