The 2023 NFL Draft finally came to a close Saturday evening, as the seventh round brought an end to yet another three-day extravaganza of trades and surprises.
The best teams in the league are the ones that can find hidden gems at the end of the draft, and this year’s class gave them plenty of worthy options in the final round.
Here are our picks for the best value selections in the seventh round of this year’s draft:
TE Zack Kuntz (No. 220 overall, New York Jets)
James Guillory – USA TODAY Sports
The Jets were patient in their pursuit of a tight end this weekend, and it paid off in a big way, as they landed the No. 128 overall player on our board. Kuntz showed off rare athleticism at the NFL Scouting Combine, and could develop into an impact player.
CB Jaylon Jones (No. 221 overall, Indianapolis Colts)
Daniel Dunn – USA TODAY Sports
The Colts have been stealing corners throughout the entire draft, and they do it again here with Jones. He’s got the size and length to be a perfect fit in this defense, and brings tons of value as the No. 103-ranked player on our board.
RB DeWayne McBride (No. 222 overall, Minnesota Vikings)

If there’s a changing of the guard in the Minnesota backfield anytime soon, the Vikings now have one of the most productive backs in college football who could eventually take over the starting role. At No. 114 overall on our board, McBride was a massive steal here.
RB Kenny McIntosh (No. 237 overall, Seattle Seahawks)

It may be a crowded backfield in Seattle, but they’re not afraid to add value and depth to a position that was already a strength. McIntosh is a three-down back who came in at No. 118 on our board, and his pass-catching ability could get him on the field, even with Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet in the mix.
CB Cory Trice (No. 241 overall, Pittsburgh Steelers)

The Steelers grab another big, long corner who fits their scheme perfectly, and they get him at a fantastic value. The No. 96 overall player on our board, Trice has all the physical tools to be a dominant shutdown corner at the next level.
S Brandon Hill (No. 248 overall, Houston Texans)
Brianna Paciorka/News Sentinel
An undersized but explosive safety who loves to lay the lumber, Hill plays much bigger than his listed height and weight, and has a knack for making big plays when the ball gets near him. Hill took the No. 123 spot on our board, making him a huge bargain here.
