What's Wright - NFL Draft Reaction: Chiefs TRADE UP for Delane, Simpson to Rams + NBA Playoff STUNNERS

Colin Cowherd delivers a rapid-fire, unfiltered breakdown of the 2026 NFL Draft, focusing on the Kansas City Chiefs' bold move to trade up from pick 9 to 6 to select LSU cornerback Mansoor Delane. Cowherd expresses initial skepticism about trading up but ultimately defends the decision, citing the high hit rate of top-10 cornerbacks over the past decade and the Chiefs' urgent need to bolster a secondary that lost three of its top four players. He praises the selection of Delane as a potential shutdown corner and highlights the Chiefs' second-round pick of Clemson defensive tackle Peter Woods as a high-upside, high-impact addition to their defensive line. Cowherd also critiques the Rams' selection of quarterback Ty Simpson at No. 13, calling it a baffling move that undermines Matt Stafford's legacy and raises concerns about long-term planning. He offers sharp takes on other draft picks, including the Cowboys' acquisition of Caleb Downs, the Jets’ questionable tight end selection, and the Titans’ misstep with Carnell Tate. The episode concludes with a deep dive into the NBA playoffs, where Cowherd expresses alarm over the Denver Nuggets' collapse against the Timberwolves, questioning Nikola Jokić’s status as the league’s best player after a series of underwhelming postseason performances. He urges Jokić to elevate his game to maintain his elite standing.
