From the episode

he's not a superstar talent. He doesn't break enough tackles. He doesn't rip off enough explosive plays... drafting him 15th overall and like versus how good his tape is. I think there's probably just a little bit of a disconnect between that.

Chase Brown's 15th overall ADP doesn't match his tape; competent but lacks explosive upside.

Matt Harmon assesses Chase Brown as a competent NFL starter but not a superstar talent; he doesn't break enough tackles or rip off explosive plays. Despite being drafted 15th overall, his tape doesn't support that draft capital. Week 5 performance was 13 carries for 39 yards, 3 receptions for 21 yards, plus a fumble. Harmon notes the Bengals have abandoned under-center looks (which could have raised his ceiling for explosive plays) within five weeks, and improved defense reduces play volume and compiler receptions. The disconnect is between draft position and actual ceiling—he's a fine goal-line back but not a league-winner.
