Rapoport’s partner, Tom Pelissero, added the terms of the deal. “The Browns have been shopping this pick for weeks,” ESPN’s Adam Schefter said just before the pick was made.

Delane was a unanimous All-American in one season at LSU.

Delane transferred to LSU for his senior season after playing his first three years for the Virginia Tech Hokies. In 2025, Delane recorded 45 tackles, 11 passes defended and two interceptions. He is a unanimous All-American.

At Virginia Tech, Delane racked up 146 tackles, 16 passes defended and 11 interceptions.

Lance Zierlein of NFL.com provided a scouting report on Delane in his . “He excels in press coverage, altering release timing with punches and slides,” Zierlein wrote. “Smooth hips and efficient footwork keep him connected in man coverage, while his processing allows for quick transitions in off-man and short zone looks.”
