From the article

Projecting or ranking Stafford outside the top five at his position is ludicrous. Valuing him outside the top-12 is inexplicable. If I have other players I want in rounds 8-10, I'd go as early as the seventh round with Stafford.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

Stafford's top-five arm and elite weapons make him a top-12 value; take by round 7.

Waldman argues that projecting or ranking Stafford outside the top five at his position is ludicrous, and valuing him outside the top-12 is inexplicable. Despite age concerns, Stafford retains a top-five arm and benefits from top route runners and a strong offense in a tough division that will require passing volume. Waldman would take Stafford as early as the seventh round if other targets are available in rounds 8-10, noting that older passers in good shape can play into their early 40s.
