Chiefs Trade Up for Top CB, Double Down on D

0:00On April 24, Kansas City Chiefs, GM Brett Veach, called his shot on draft night, trading up from 9th to 6th overall to snag top cornerback Mansour. Delane from Louisiana State University, Delane's the consensus best at his position, and now he's the first Chiefs defensive back taken in the first round since legends like Trent McDuffie and Eric Berry. Veach had teased a night full of trays two weeks back, and sure enough, they jumped the gun to beat out teams like the New Orleans Saints. The move fills a huge gap in the secondary after losing McDuffie and two other starters this offseason. Fans and analysts see this as smart aggression, not a reach since Delane's shut down receivers last year. All touchdowns allowed, zero penalties just. Fourteen catches on 357 coverage snaps. At 6B tall and 182 pounds, he's built to ball out right away. Being put at 29th, the Chiefs doubled down on defense with Clemson defensive tackle Peter Woods.

1:00This third year standout brings rare athleticism for his 6 foot 2, nearly 300 pound frame, clocking a 4.640 yard dash. Both rookies pair perfectly with stars like Chris Jones, promising instant impact on a revamp line. Rounds 2 and 3 kick off Friday at 6pm, with Kansas City picking 40th overall next.
