2026 Projections
Lands with Kansas City
The Chiefs selected Delane in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft, sixth overall.
ANALYSIS
Kansas City traded up from the ninth pick to snag the sixth choice from the Browns. Delane was evidently coveted by the Chiefs to the point that they could not bear to miss out on him, and that's not terribly shocking given that the Rams poached both of the Chiefs' prior starting corners -- Trent McDuffie (trade) and Jaylen Watson (free agency) -- earlier this offseason. Delane (6-feet, 182 pounds) initially built up his game at Virginia Tech, where he was a memorable true-freshman starter before transferring to LSU for his fourth collegiate season. With so much quality experience and production to go with his 4.38-second pro day 40, it's understandable why the Chiefs were determined to reel in Delane as their new CB1.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
In position for early success
Tom Blair of NFL.com predicts Delane will have quick success in the Chiefs' defense as a rookie.
ANALYSIS
The Chiefs invested the sixth overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft -- a slot they traded into from the No. 9 spot -- in the elite cornerback from LSU, making it clear they have immediate plans to make Delane a key component of the defense. Blair cites the combination of Delane's "head-of-the-class talent," the stability of the Chiefs' coaching staff and his premium spot on a team expected to bounce back from a disappointing season as critical components of Delane's chances for early-career success on a team with an impressive recent history of successful young corners.
