From the episode

Brock Bowers, because a lot of the same logic applies here, is player 18... I have seen too many drafts where I'm sitting there at the back end of round two, hoping for one of those guys to arrive to me. It doesn't happen.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalValue

Bowers at 18 overall is a second-round target worth securing early.

Ranked 18th overall on the board; speaker would pull the trigger at pick 16 in the second round of a 10-team league rather than risk missing him at pick 25, indicating strong conviction on his draft position. The gap between Brock Bowers and other tight ends is massive—Trey McBride's per-game production with Jacoby Brissett was over 100 points ahead of the next tier, demonstrating the elite advantage of securing a top-tier tight end.
