The 2023 NFL draft is in the books.
Hundreds of thousands of fans attended. Millions more watched on television. Approximately all the barbecue ever was eaten in Kansas City. And most importantly, 259 players now know where their NFL careers will begin.
If there's one thing that you can expect about the NFL draft, it's the unexpected. Some players come off the board much earlier than expected. Others languish in the green room like fish in the most awkward aquarium ever. And there's always a shocker of a trade or two.
2023 was no exception, whether it was a "Big Four" quarterback who wound up being picked from home, the first running back taken in the top 10 since 2018 or a couple of defensive players who waited much longer than expected.
