From the episode
Trey McBride... coming off the board with the 21st overall pick... it's not about how good this guy is... I just think that I can wait a couple of rounds, get someone that's going to be close to where he is... because of it... if you're going to pay Tiffany pricing, you can't get Marshall's quality... he's second? Trey McBride... he was averaging 12 and a half fantasy points per game. Once Brissette came in, he was at 21.1 per game
STACKED’s take
McBride's early third-round ADP is too high despite elite talent and target share.
Bust candidate not due to talent or production—McBride is elite and will maintain huge target share and potentially lead the Cardinals in receptions—but due to draft cost. Coming off the board at pick 21 overall (early third round) or sometimes mid-second round depending on league position. The source argues that at this price, the positional value is poor; other tight ends drafted later will score similarly, allowing drafters to allocate earlier picks to wide receiver or running back. Comparison: paying high-end boutique pricing for department store quality. McBride led NFL in catches and targets over last two seasons (second only to Jamar Chase), but his 12.5 PPG average with Kyler Murray last year jumped to 21.1 PPG with Brissette, who remains the Cardinals QB. Despite elite production, the source declines to pay the cost.
