# Matty Lane: 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.

2 checkable claims — 1 depth chart call and 1 mock draft pick — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet.

It names 3 players and teams, each linked to their own record.

1 of 2 have settled so far, averaging 67.7 out of 100, against 50 for a naive guess at the same calls.

Of the 1 unsettled call enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room.

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