Consensus board vs. draft day: the full IOL class, charted.
The Steal
Wyatt Teller was ranked IOL9 on the consensus board (#98 overall) but lasted until pick 166, where the Buffalo Bills took him in Round 5. A 68-spot fall, the largest gap between consensus and draft day of any IOL in the class. Behind him, Will Clapp (+33) also outlasted his ranking.
The Conviction Pick
The Arizona Cardinals took Mason Cole at pick 97, 56 spots ahead of his #153 consensus rank. That's the league's strongest disagreement with the public board at the position. Teams showed similar conviction on Austin Corbett (33 spots) and Frank Ragnow (26 spots).
The Cliff
After James Daniels went at pick 39, the next IOL didn't come off the board for 58 picks. That's the sharpest drop in the class.
The Spend
Teams spent 17 picks on IOL, 8 of them in the first two rounds. That's below the position's average of 20.9 since 2018.
The Bet
The Indianapolis Colts spent more draft capital on IOL than any other club: picks 6 and 37, 38% of their total draft investment.
The One Who Slipped
Jeremiah Kolone, ranked #182 on the consensus board, went undrafted through all 256 picks.
