From the episode
Jonathan Brooks, who his ADP has really, really risen... I pretty much leave every draft, if possible, with either a share of Brooks or a share of Blake Corum, because I want that upside shot on one of these two guys. I have over 20 shares of each... my whole bet on Brooks is, look, he was very talented... But it's his pass-catching ability... All you heard in the offseason is he wants him in the passing game. I'm watching clips every week of this kid catching passes... So I'm going to take a shot on that.
STACKED’s take
Jonathan Brooks' ADP surged to 6-5; speaker has 20+ shares betting on pass-catching upside.
ADP has risen significantly; went as high as fourth round in FFPC format a week ago, now at 6-5 in this format. Was living at the 5-6 turn previously. Speaker leaves every draft with either a share of Brooks or Blake Corum for upside, with over 20 shares of each. The preseason game against the Bills actually increased speaker's conviction rather than souring him. Brooks was very talented at Texas, playing primarily after Bijan Robinson. Speaker's entire thesis is on his pass-catching ability; with a weak Panthers offensive line and weak quarterback play (starter threw for just over 200 yards only three times last year), the offense will rely on dump-off passes. Brooks is being featured in the passing game in practice clips, not just dump-offs but also downfield routes. Speaker is all-in on Brooks as the silver lining in a bleak Carolina offense, and believes he doesn't fail as a player.
