From the episode

Say, like, I wait to the fifth round, hypothetically. I got DeAndre Swift. I take a Jonathan Brooks. And then I get my RB3 later on in, like, the eighth round. I get a Dobbins or a Mason.

STACKED’s take

DeAndre Swift as fifth-round anchor in 'building backwards' strategy.

Used as an example of a fifth-round pick in a 'building backwards' strategy where speaker waits until the fifth round to secure a strong running back, then pairs it with an upside shot like Jonathan Brooks in the same round, and secures an RB3 later (eighth round) with players like Dobbins or Mason. This approach allows for four strong wide receivers while maintaining running back depth.
