From the episode

it's mainly just because he doesn't run... you're kind of dependent on him having 40 touchdowns to really pay off where you're getting him here.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Burrow lacks the rushing upside to justify his fifth-round ADP.

The source discourages drafting Burrow in the fifth round because he does not provide rushing upside. To pay off his draft cost, he would need to reach elite passing numbers (40+ touchdowns, 4,500+ yards), leaving no margin for error regarding his health or the Bengals' offensive performance.
