From the episode

Marshawn Lloyd, if I go back to my thinking in the preseason and the draft guide and stuff, I had him as a dart throw in the draft guide... In hindsight, I wish that I had ranked him lower than I did... he just looked really, really stiff so far this season. And maybe it has to do with like the hammies and the work that he's done there.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Lloyd's early stiffness and hamstring concerns make him a regrettable draft pick.

Lloyd was ranked as a dart throw in JJ Zachariason's draft guide, initially kept in due to Josh Jacobs uncertainty. In hindsight, Zachariason wishes he had ranked Lloyd lower (10th round instead of 7th-8th round). Lloyd has looked stiff early in the season, possibly due to hamstring issues, and lacks the explosiveness expected from his prospect profile despite having good speed and speed score metrics.
