Reacting live to the Chiefs trading up to No. 6 for LSU cornerback Mansour Lane, Clark says Lane will immediately be a starter in Kansas City, and lists the edge/pass-rush prospects he thinks could be first-round options at pick 29.

“Obviously, he's going to be a guy that's gonna step in and be a starter.”
