Consensus board vs. draft day: the full OT class, charted.
The Steal
Tyrell Crosby was ranked OT4 on the consensus board (#49 overall) but lasted until pick 153, where the Detroit Lions took him in Round 5. A 104-spot fall, the largest gap between consensus and draft day of any OT in the class. Behind him, Jamarco Jones (+90) and Connor Williams (+27) also outlasted their rankings.
The Conviction Pick
The Las Vegas Raiders took Brandon Parker at pick 65, 79 spots ahead of his #144 consensus rank. That's the league's strongest disagreement with the public board at the position. Teams showed similar conviction on Cole Madison (49 spots) and Joe Noteboom (47 spots).
The Cliff
After Kolton Miller went at pick 15, the next OT didn't come off the board for 35 picks. That's the sharpest drop in the class.
The Spend
Teams spent 21 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 Las Vegas Raiders spent more draft capital on OT than any other club: picks 15 and 65, 43% of their total draft investment.
The One Who Slipped
Desmond Harrison, ranked #140 on the consensus board, went undrafted through all 256 picks.
