Consensus board vs. draft day — the full OT class, charted.
The Steal
Dametrious Crownover was ranked OT11 on the consensus board — #109 overall — but lasted until pick 196, where the New England Patriots took him in Round 6. A 87-spot fall, the largest gap between expectation and draft day of any OT in the class. Behind him, Caleb Tiernan (+39) also outlasted his ranking.
The Conviction Pick
The Philadelphia Eagles took Markel Bell at pick 68 — 68 spots ahead of his #136 consensus rank. The league's biggest vote of confidence against the public board at the position. Teams showed similar conviction on Travis Burke (57 spots) and Drew Shelton (31 spots).
The Cliff
After Travis Burke went at pick 117, the next OT didn't come off the board for 62 picks. The sharpest drop in the class — teams that waited paid for it.
The Spend
Teams spent 18 picks on OT — 7 in the first two rounds. That's below the position's average of 24 since 2018.
The Bet
The Cleveland Browns spent more draft capital on OT than any other club — picks 9 and 86 — 32% of their total draft investment.
