From the episode

I also think people were just wrong about Jonathan Brooks. I just don't think he was ever this great prospect. I think he was a bad pick and a bad class.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalBust

Bad prospect in weak class; pushed up boards unfairly, Hubbard always better.

Source argues Brooks was a bad prospect in a weak 2024 running back class; he was pushed up draft boards based on Texas production but was never as great as perceived. Chuba Hubbard was always the better talent. Source compares the situation to Tank Bigsby and Travis Etienne, where the shiny new toy narrative proved wrong.
