From the episode

I really like Brian Thomas this year. He's still available. He's my top player on my big board. I'm going to take him. But maybe that isn't the best pick if you're looking and you have five receivers in that same tier sitting there.

STACKED’s take

NeutralValue

Thomas as example of big board rank not always matching optimal draft pick.

Joe Pisapia uses Brian Thomas as an example of a player who might be the highest-ranked on a big board but not the optimal pick in a given draft situation; if five receivers are in the same tier and only one running back remains in that tier, the running back (even if sixth on the big board) may be the better selection if you can still get one of the five receivers at your next pick.
