Consensus board vs. draft day: the full OT class, charted.
The Steal
Stone Forsythe was ranked OT15 on the consensus board (#118 overall) but lasted until pick 208, where the Seattle Seahawks took him in Round 6. A 90-spot fall, the largest gap between consensus and draft day of any OT in the class. Behind him, Teven Jenkins (+18) and Samuel Cosmi (+14) also outlasted their rankings.
The Conviction Pick
The Chicago Bears took Larry Borom at pick 151, 84 spots ahead of his #235 consensus rank. That's the league's strongest disagreement with the public board at the position. Teams showed similar conviction on Dan Moore Jr. (68 spots) and Josh Ball (63 spots).
The Cliff
After Tommy Doyle went at pick 161, the next OT didn't come off the board for 36 picks. That's the sharpest drop in the class.
The Spend
Teams spent 30 picks on OT, 10 of them in the first two rounds. That's above the position's average of 24 since 2018.
The Bet
The Los Angeles Chargers spent more draft capital on OT than any other club: picks 13 and 159, 36% of their total draft investment.
The One Who Slipped
Alaric Jackson, ranked #211 on the consensus board, went undrafted through all 259 picks.
