The first five picks of the NFL Draft weren’t a shocker, but you knew it wouldn’t be long before a surprise pick would happen. Who would have thought it would be from the Kansas City Chiefs?

The Chiefs traded up with the Cleveland Browns to grab cornerback Mansoor Delane from LSU.

This pick came as a shock to many because Delane was not talked about as a top-10 pick. Delane played most of his college career at Virginia Tech before transferring to LSU.

Here is his list of accomplishments via the LSU website
