Consensus board vs. draft day: the full CB class, charted.
The Steal
Bryce Hall was ranked CB10 on the consensus board (#65 overall) but lasted until pick 158, where the New York Jets took him in Round 5. A 93-spot fall, the largest gap between consensus and draft day of any CB in the class. Behind him, Dane Jackson (+77) and Amik Robertson (+47) also outlasted their rankings.
The Conviction Pick
The Denver Broncos took Michael Ojemudia at pick 77, 59 spots ahead of his #136 consensus rank. That's the league's strongest disagreement with the public board at the position. Teams showed similar conviction on John Reid (47 spots) and Damon Arnette (44 spots).
The Cliff
After Harrison Hand went at pick 169, the next CB didn't come off the board for 42 picks. That's the sharpest drop in the class.
The Spend
Teams spent 26 picks on CB, 9 of them in the first two rounds. That's below the position's average of 32.8 since 2018.
The Bet
The Jacksonville Jaguars spent more draft capital on CB than any other club: picks 9, 137 and 223, 31% of their total draft investment.
The One Who Slipped
A.J. Green, ranked #169 on the consensus board, went undrafted through all 255 picks.
