Woods was selected at No. 29 from Clemson, adding depth at defensive tackle behind three-time Super Bowl champion Chris Jones.
Before picking Woods, the Chiefs moved up from No. 9 to No. 6 in a trade with the Cleveland Browns and drafted Delane out of LSU.
“It’s a blessing. I just want to be part of a winning program,” Delane told KSHB 41’s McKenzie Nelson in Pittsburgh. “It’s not often winning programs are in the Top 10, so I think this is the best situation I could have been in. I’m excited.”
Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said the club had a focus heading into the draft to build back the defensive side of the ball, following the trades of cornerbacks Trent McDuffie and Jaylen Watson during the offseason.
Reid praised Delane’s skills after the Chiefs made their selection.
“I think he’ll come in and contribute,” Reid said. “Like all the guys, they have to earn their spot on the team. He’s a heck of a player and a heck of a kid.”
