Consensus board vs. draft day: the full OT class, charted.
The Steal
Kyle Murphy was ranked OT11 on the consensus board (#132 overall) but lasted until pick 200, where the Green Bay Packers took him in Round 6. A 68-spot fall, the largest gap between consensus and draft day of any OT in the class. Behind him, Jerald Hawkins (+30) and Spencer Drango (+26) also outlasted their rankings.
The Conviction Pick
The Philadelphia Eagles took Halapoulivaati Vaitai at pick 164, 75 spots ahead of his #239 consensus rank. That's the league's strongest disagreement with the public board at the position. Teams showed similar conviction on Cole Toner (51 spots) and Alex Lewis (44 spots).
The Cliff
After Le'Raven Clark went at pick 82, the next OT didn't come off the board for 39 picks. That's the sharpest drop in the class.
The Spend
Teams spent 20 picks on OT, 6 of them in the first two rounds. That's below the position's average of 24 since 2018.
The Bet
The Baltimore Ravens spent more draft capital on OT than any other club: picks 6 and 130, 33% of their total draft investment.
The One Who Slipped
Avery Young, ranked #198 on the consensus board, went undrafted through all 253 picks.
