Davis Mattek on Saquon Barkley

VideoStop Drafting Wide Receivers Like An IdiotJune 7, 2026

From the video

Maybe we're going to take Barkley. Maybe we're going to take Kenneth Walker here... I kind of want to take Ken Walker. I I hope that Saquon Barkley goes to the Lamb drafter here.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

Alternative elite RB anchor at pick 13; possibly better value than WRs at mid-draft.

Considered as an alternative elite RB anchor at pick 13 alongside Kenneth Walker. Mattek prefers Kenneth Walker but hopes Saquon Barkley goes to the other drafter (the one who took CeeDee Lamb at pick 11). Later in the draft, Mattek suggests Barkley might have been a better draft pick than Jefferson or Neighbors at this stage, implying superior value and projection compared to wide receivers at this range.
