From the episode

I do think you have to kind of expect the Seahawks offense to, to fall off a little bit like efficiency wise. And that's going to hurt JSN potentially. Plus I think JSN also has, is going to have more competition this year from the, in the target game... Rashid Shaheed is going to be more ingrained in the offense... they have a couple of tight ends that are interesting... you're probably going to be overpaying for Jason if you're taking like top three, top four.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Target share at risk from OC change and increased competition.

Jalen Smith-Njigba's target share and role are at risk this year due to offensive coordinator change (Clint Kubiak to Brian Flurry), increased competition for targets (Rashid Shaheed gaining comfort in the offense, tight ends AJ Barner and Elijah Royo stepping up), and defensive game-planning that will focus on stopping other receivers; the source expects the Seahawks offense to fall off in efficiency, which will hurt JSN's production despite him remaining a key target, and would not draft him over Puka Nacua, Jamar Chase, CeeDee Lamb, or Amon-Ra St. Brown due to role certainty concerns.
