From the episode

the deeper the IR spots, the more and also the deeper the bench spots... the deeper my bench is, the more likely I am to take a tight end... if you have a short bench, six, five, something like that, kind of crazy short, then I'm not taking a backup tight end in that scenario.

STACKED’s take

Willingness to draft Kittle depends heavily on bench depth and IR spots. With deeper benches (12 teams), pairing him with a backup tight end is viable. With short benches (5-6 spots), better to leave him on the board.
