Avoid round 2 to preserve flexibility for Trey McBride at pick 28

Brock BowersTELV

Mrs. Flock avoids drafting Bowers in the second round due to strategic draft flexibility concerns. The drafter learned from past mistakes where taking Bowers in round 2 prevented access to Trey McBride at pick 28, forcing a choice between McBride and Chris Alave. By skipping Bowers and taking Nico Collins instead, the drafter preserves the ability to select McBride at pick 28 without sacrificing positional depth; explicitly prefers the pairing of Nico Collins and Trey McBride over Bowers and Chris Alave.

Source transcript excerpt
The lesson that I have learned is we do not draft Brock Bowers here. We take Nico Collins because here's the deal. We will be on the clock at 28 in this draft and there is a damn good chance that Trey McBride will be there and if it comes down to Trey McBride or Chris Alave I want to take McBride and I can't do it if I took Bowers in the second round.
