KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Chiefs are looking to replenish the cornerback position Thursday in the 2026 NFL Draft in Pittsburgh.
With Trent McDuffie, Jaylon Watson, and Joshua Williams all gone, the team is evaluating premier prospects to fill the void in the secondary.
The top two consensus cornerbacks in this year's draft are Mansoor Delane from LSU and Jermod McCoy from Tennessee.
McCoy missed last season with an ACL injury but remains highly regarded.
He hails from Whitehouse, Texas, the hometown of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, and even took pictures with Mahomes as a kid.
Avieon Terrell from Clemson is another first-round talent available at the position. His brother was a first-round pick in the 2020 draft.
Toriano Pride from Missouri also hopes to hear his name called in the NFL Draft.
McKenzie Nelson and Matt Foster with KSHB 41 Sports will be on the ground in Pittsburgh for the draft.
Our first Chiefs on the Clock special will air at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, followed by a first-round recap at 10:30 p.m.
Our coverage continues throughout the weekend with two more draft specials on Friday and Saturday, both starting at 6:30 p.m., and a Day 2 draft recap airing at 10:30 p.m. on Friday.
