The Chiefs' recent draft investment in defense is extensive.
Last year:
R2, No. 63: DT Omarr Norman-Lott
R3, No. 66: EDGE Ashton Gillotte
R3, No. 85: CB Nohl Williams
R5, No. 156: LB Jeffrey Bassa
This year so far:
R1, No. 6: CB Mansoor Delane
R1, No. 29: DT Peter Woods
R2, No. 40: DE R. Mason Thomas
That’s 7 defensive picks in their last 10 selections listed here, including six in the top 85.
I don’t like the pick of Woods for the Chiefs. I would have liked for them to go edge and wr in the first round. Woods had a down year and doesn’t have elite traits. Not excited about these picks. Delane was a good player at least and a good fit, with Woods I just don’t see it
As the #6 overall pick, CB Mansoor Delane is expected to sign a fully guaranteed 4 year, $42M contract with the #Chiefs, including a $27M signing bonus.
2026 Cash
Mansoor Delane: $27.7M
Trent McDuffie: $22M
Delane is represented by Athletes First.
I really don’t like the pick. We never pay the position and it’s the position the Chiefs develop the best. Was really hoping for WR or Edge especially since we traded up. Mahomes needs weapons and someone who will catch the ball. Will this be another year with minimal help for 15
I hate this pick! We let both of our top CBs go and then spend our highest draft capital in yeas on CB?? We needed WR and Edge before CB and that’s the position we have developed the best… terrible use of the #9 by Veach and the team. The Chiefs need to turn this draft around.

@3guysinagarage love having you on the radio Bink! I’m really hoping the Chiefs take a WR with their first pick! As long as we stay away from Bain and Concepcion I think we’ll be good.
Can’t wait to talk ball with you again sometime. GO CHIEFS!
I really hope the Chiefs don’t draft Ruben Bain! He had big dips in production (only 4.5 sacks in the reg season & 1.5 sacks week 3-11) the fact that he didn’t run at the combine or his pro day is concerning and we haven’t even talked about the arms yet
I do not want the Chiefs to draft KC Conception. He has terrible hands and around a 10% drop rate. The #Chiefs don’t need another WR with drop problems.
