From the video
I don't have Christian McCaffrey above Jamar Chase or Puka Nua. But I think from a strategy standpoint, if you're at the three or four, you'll without a doubt be able to get Christian McCaffrey because no one's taking him over those guys... It's okay to take guys earlier than their ADP. It's okay if you don't follow exact ADP from picks one through seven.

STACKED’s take
Positive signalValue
Value play at 3-4 turn; falls due to WR priority; acceptable to take early despite ADP.
Strategic value play at picks 3-4 despite not ranking above Chase or Nacua in the source's personal rankings. The source makes a case for targeting McCaffrey at the 3-4 turn because the draft strategy and ADP suggest he will fall to picks 3-4 when other drafters prioritize elite receivers, making him a value acquisition at a premium position. The source also notes it's acceptable to take elite running backs like McCaffrey earlier than ADP in the first seven picks, recommending experimentation (e.g., taking CMAC at pick 13) since early-round players won't finish at their draft rank anyway.
