From the episode

We didn't like Matthew golden's collegiate tape. We were shocked that he was a first rounder. I had him as like a third round grade. And then he really did get opportunities as a rookie and fail.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Matthew Golden failed to score a touchdown in the regular season as a rookie despite getting opportunities; he is on a list of first-round wide receivers over the last decade who failed to score in the regular season, including Kevin White, Josh Doctson, Laquan Treadwell, Corey Davis, Mike Williams, John Ross, and Cadarius Toney.
