Ryan Tracy· Mar 2, 2026

In a Chiefs mock draft, Tracy advocated taking Ohio State linebacker Sonny Styles in the first round, Missouri edge Zion Young at No. 40, tight end Trigg at No. 74, safety Bud Clark at No. 109, and cornerback Davis at No. 176.

“I would say take the Mizzou Tiger, plug him in, and let him hunt that quarterback.”

Who this take is about

5 checkable claims in this take

Each one is scored on its own against the published methodology. A pundit naming several outcomes is graded on each, not on all-or-nothing.

  • Sonny Styles to be picked “first round” (picks 1–32)

    “To me, I almost think you have to go with Sonny Styles. / That's that's where I'm at... you plug him in next to Nick Bolton, you have a new duo.”

  • Michael Trigg to be picked at number 74
