The Kansas City Chiefs traded up in the 2026 NFL draft to select cornerback Mansoor Delane from LSU. They gave up a third-round and a fifth-round pick to move from pick 9 to pick 6 because they wanted to be sure to get Delane, who is seen as a strong replacement for their former All-Pro cornerback Trent McDuffie.
Key Facts
The Chiefs moved up three spots in the first round of the 2026 NFL draft, from pick 9 to pick 6.
To move up, they traded their third-round pick (74th overall) and a fifth-round pick (148th overall) to Cleveland.
The player they chose is Mansoor Delane, a 22-year-old cornerback from LSU.
The Chiefs needed a new cornerback after trading Trent McDuffie to the Los Angeles Rams.
Their draft decision was influenced by simulations that suggested other teams (Washington and New Orleans) might pick Delane before them.
New Orleans eventually picked a receiver instead of a cornerback.
Adding Delane improves the Chiefs’ cornerback group, which now includes Delane, Jadon Canady, Kristian Fulton, and Nohl Williams—all 27 years old or younger.
If they had not traded up, the Chiefs planned to pick edge rusher Rueben Bain Jr., who was taken 15th overall by Tampa Bay.
