STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

Schop's TE1; significantly better value than McBride at current ADP.

Mike Schop ranks Brock Bowers as tight end one and significantly prefers him over Trey McBride at current ADP; last year McBride was going a full round after Bowers but this year they're neck-and-neck in ADP, making Bowers the better value. Schop was on McBride last year but is all over Bowers this year given their relative ADPs. By avoiding the early running back run and stacking wide receivers instead, drafters gain access to alpha-profile players like Bowers who would otherwise be unavailable.
