Where the draft room stands

Live drafts hold no current pick on Khalil Herbert, and the board ranks him 158th overall on the rest of his evidence.

Our board does not carry Jaylen Wright at all right now: live drafts have stopped taking him and there is no player market on him this week, so he has no rank, no tier and no ADP here.
