From the episode

Bucky Irving had zero carries inside the five yard line. I don't want running backs that aren't catching passes and aren't scoring touchdowns.

Silva avoids Irving due to lack of goal-line and passing-down usage

Evan Silva ranks Bucky Irving at 82 overall (RB31), citing concerns over his lack of receiving work, competition from Kenneth Gainwell, and the potential for Sean Tucker to handle goal-line duties. Silva notes Irving had zero carries inside the five-yard line last year.
