From the episode

If you can get a comparable tight end three rounds later, but you can't get a comparable wide receiver with your next pick, then the wide receiver is probably the better choice. You should go with Chris Godwin.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

Godwin is a better middle-round pick than a backup tight end due to positional scarcity.

JJ Zachariason suggests that Chris Godwin is a better pick than Sam LaPorta in the middle rounds, even if LaPorta is projected for slightly more PPR points. The reasoning is that wide receivers are higher-demand positions where you cannot easily find comparable talent later in the draft.
