Consensus board vs. draft day: the full IOL class, charted.
The Steal
Brian Parker II was ranked IOL12 on the consensus board (#111 overall) but lasted until pick 189, where the Cincinnati Bengals took him in Round 6. A 78-spot fall, the largest gap between consensus and draft day of any IOL in the class. Behind him, Sam Hecht (+64) and Connor Lew (+52) also outlasted their rankings.
The Conviction Pick
The San Francisco 49ers took Carver Willis at pick 127, 105 spots ahead of his #232 consensus rank. That's the league's strongest disagreement with the public board at the position. Teams showed similar conviction on Fernando Carmona (101 spots) and Febechi Nwaiwu (85 spots).
The Cliff
After Billy Schrauth went at pick 160, the next IOL didn't come off the board for 28 picks. That's the sharpest drop in the class.
The Spend
Teams spent 32 picks on IOL, 5 of them in the first two rounds. That's above the position's average of 20.9 since 2018.
The Bet
The Houston Texans spent more draft capital on IOL than any other club: picks 26 and 106, 34% of their total draft investment.
The One Who Slipped
Jaeden Roberts, ranked #225 on the consensus board, went undrafted through all 257 picks.
