Chiefs Trade Up for Delane, Jets Stack Roster

0:00It's April 24th. Welcome in. This is NFL News Today, where football meets AI. Kansas City Chiefs made waves in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft, trading up to the 6th spot for LSU cornerback Mansour Delane, and grabbing defensive lineman Peter Woods at 29. They sent 3rd and 5th round picks to Cleveland just to jump 3 spots for Delane, filling a huge gap at corner after shipping out trend. He dug Duffy to the Rams for picks and cash savings. That McDuffy deal freed up over 125 million over four years on his new LA contract, but it left the Chiefs thin at the position, with injury worries elsewhere. Delane steps in as a day one starter with sharp instincts, though some see it as a reach since he ranked around 14th on big boards, and better. Values like Ed Rushers lingered later. Fans and analysts are split pressures high on this pricey move. But Delane called it the draft's smartest play after a quiet pre-draft chat with a team.

1:01Chaos hit, went to tornado sirens blared right before their second pick, sending staff to shelter in the draft room while Andy Reed stayed cool in the safe spot. Meanwhile, the Jets stacked their roster with Texas Tech-Edged David Bailey at number 2 Oregon-Tied-In Kenyon Sadeek at 16 and Indiana. Wide-out Omar Cooper Jr. at 30 after trading back in. Brands shocked everyone taking Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson early, with coach Sean McVey looking less than thrilled in his presser. Day 2 brings Ed Rushed up for the Chiefs, names like Texas A&M's. Cassius Howe or Missouri Zion Young waiting at pick 40. Plenty left to build that defense into a beast.
