From the episode

My most drafted player actually is a late round quarterback. So it's Fernando Mendoza... when I can take that third quarterback who I know is going to be starting at the end of the season, yes, I do not think Kirk is playing the whole season.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalSleeper

Late-round leverage play; elite tools; Cousins won't play full season

JJ Zachariason's most drafted late-round player is Heisman-winning Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza. Mendoza has elite physical tools and rushing ability similar to Trevor Lawrence. Zachariason expects Kirk Cousins to not play the full season for the Broncos, making Mendoza a strong late-round leverage play. Mendoza's playoff schedule (Titans in dome week 16, Cardinals in dome week 17) makes him an excellent third-quarterback option after pick 170.
