From the episode

One of the concerns that I have with Justin Jefferson at eight or nine overall... if Kyler Murray does not play well, they will get another look at J.J. McCarthy.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Jefferson's high ADP carries risk if the Vikings pivot to J.J. McCarthy.

Adam Levitan expresses concern about drafting Justin Jefferson at his 8-9 overall ADP due to the risk that the Vikings might pivot to J.J. McCarthy if they fall out of playoff contention, which would hurt Jefferson's fantasy playoff value. Levitan also prefers a running back-heavy approach at the top of drafts.
