- Seahawks steal RB Damien Martinez at No. 223: Seattle lands the Oregon State standout over 140 spots below his PFF Big Board ranking, capitalizing on overlooked power and production in a crowded running back class.
- Jets reach for Georgia WR Arian Smith at No. 110: New York bets on blazing speed and vertical potential, selecting the WR more than 230 spots ahead of his ranking despite limited production and polish.

The NFL draft is equal parts science, art and projection — a meticulously crafted process where value can often be in the eye of the beholder. Every pick reflects a team’s unique blend of roster needs, scouting analysis and long-term vision.
Now that the draft is over, we can begin to step back and assess how each team approached the board. The visuals below are simple: green highlights players who were taken later than their ranking (a potential value steal), while red marks those selected earlier than expected based on our board.
It is essential to note that this is not a judgment; it serves merely as a reference point. After all, taking the 10th-ranked player at No. 11 is hardly a steal, just as grabbing the 25th-ranked player at No. 20 isn't really a reach.
This isn’t about declaring winners and losers. It’s about mapping how each team navigated the class: which picks aligned with consensus, which ones defied it and where the most interesting bets were placed.
