Matty Lane· Apr 24, 2026

Before the pick was announced, Lane predicted the Chiefs' trade-up to No. 6 in the 2026 draft was for edge Ruben Bayne, with Jordan Tyson as the next likeliest target. After the selection, she said Mansour Delaine walks in as the Chiefs' CB1 and can do everything Trent McDuffie did.

It's gonna be Ruben Bayne, probably followed by Jordan Tyson.

    Think this is wrong?

  • Mansoor Delane to be 1st on the depth chart

    And he walks in as CB one. Now part of that is, you know, the the room is not great.

    Not settled yet. This is graded once the result is in.
