Consensus board vs. draft day: the full OT class, charted.
The Steal
Adam Bisnowaty was ranked OT8 on the consensus board (#138 overall) but lasted until pick 200, where the New York Giants took him in Round 6. A 62-spot fall, the largest gap between consensus and draft day of any OT in the class. Behind him, Roderick Johnson (+50) and Conor McDermott (+40) also outlasted their rankings.
The Conviction Pick
The Los Angeles Chargers took Sam Tevi at pick 190, 55 spots ahead of his #245 consensus rank. That's the league's strongest disagreement with the public board at the position. Teams showed similar conviction on David Sharpe (22 spots) and Julien Davenport (20 spots).
The Cliff
After Antonio Garcia went at pick 85, the next OT didn't come off the board for 44 picks. That's the sharpest drop in the class.
The Spend
Teams spent 17 picks on OT, 4 of them in the first two rounds. That's below the position's average of 24 since 2018.
The Bet
The Denver Broncos spent more draft capital on OT than any other club: pick 20, 29% of their total draft investment.
The One Who Slipped
Chad Wheeler, ranked #176 on the consensus board, went undrafted through all 253 picks.
