Keondre Coburn, a sixth-round pick by the Kansas City Chiefs, has been named the team's biggest steal of the 2023 NFL draft. Coburn, a massive defensive tackle, has shown the ability to impact both the run and the pass, registering four sacks and 31 total pressures in his 2022 season. He will be playing next to Chris Jones this year, which could lead to an even greater uptick in production.
The Los Angeles Rams' selection of running back Zach Evans in the sixth round of the NFL draft has been praised as a "draft steal" by analysts. Despite being a former 5-star recruit, Evans fell to the 215th overall pick due to character concerns, injuries, and average athletic performance. However, he has been touted as having the talent to compete with Cam Akers for the starting running back position in 2023. Evans rushed for 936 yards on 144 carries at Ole Miss last season and also caught 12 passes for 119 yards and a touchdown.
