Grading the Chiefs’ pick of Texas defensive tackle Keondre Coburn

With the 194th overall pick in the sixth round, the Chiefs Texas defensive tackle Keondre Coburn. We have insta-grades from three members of the Arrowhead Pride Draft Team.

Ron: The Chiefs have a set list of positional needs entering the NFL Draft, and I believe defensive tackle was the last one remaining headed into Day 3. They passed on it a few times but knew precisely what they were doing — because Coburn is an absolute steal at where they got him.

Coburn has the skills to play for the Chiefs at nose tackle right away, using his massive body to eat up space and swallow double teams.
