From the episode

he's not worth that round eight or nine pick. You got to wait till 10, 11, somewhere in there... he's just going to be like a good bench piece, good bye week replacement wide receiver.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalValue

Avoid Deebo in rounds 8–9; wait until 10–11 as a bench piece only.

The source advises against drafting Deebo Samuel in round 8 or 9, citing conditioning concerns from early in his career, age, and the crowded 49ers offense with McCaffrey and other moving parts. While acknowledging his history with Kyle Shanahan and his unique dual-threat profile (only WR in NFL history with 20+ receiving and 20+ rushing TDs), the source prefers to wait until rounds 10–11 or later, viewing him as a bench piece rather than a starter. The source expects 6 touches per game and 10–12 PPR points, making him a bye-week replacement at best, not worth chasing his name early.
