From the video

When you take Josh Allen when you take Lamar Jackson even when you take Drake Maye or Jayden Daniels in drafts this year you are skipping on guys who would rank as starters at their position. I've had a couple of these situations in drafts this year where like, "Oh, Lamar Jackson got to the eighth pick of the sixth round."

Taking Lamar Jackson early in drafts creates significant opportunity cost by skipping starters at other positions, with the analyst noting situations where he was available in the sixth round.
