Consensus board vs. draft day: the full CB class, charted.
The Steal
Desmond King was ranked CB13 on the consensus board (#67 overall) but lasted until pick 151, where the Los Angeles Chargers took him in Round 5. A 84-spot fall, the largest gap between consensus and draft day of any CB in the class. Behind him, Jalen Myrick (+67) and Marquez White (+43) also outlasted their rankings.
The Conviction Pick
The Denver Broncos took Brendan Langley at pick 101, 95 spots ahead of his #196 consensus rank. That's the league's strongest disagreement with the public board at the position. Teams showed similar conviction on Treston Decoud (70 spots) and Nate Hairston (60 spots).
The Cliff
After Brendan Langley went at pick 101, the next CB didn't come off the board for 25 picks. That's the sharpest drop in the class.
The Spend
Teams spent 33 picks on CB, 10 of them in the first two rounds. That's right at the position's average of 32.8 since 2018.
The Bet
The Dallas Cowboys spent more draft capital on CB than any other club: picks 60, 92 and 216, 39% of their total draft investment.
The One Who Slipped
Channing Stribling, ranked #189 on the consensus board, went undrafted through all 253 picks.
