The Audible

In This Episode:

On this week's On The Couch, Sigmund Bloom is joined by Dan Schneier of CBS Sports to preview the first round of the NFL Draft through a fantasy football lens — and this class brings serious juice. The guys break down the top wideouts who could reshape both NFL offenses and fantasy leagues the moment they step on the field.

They dive into the explosive upside of Jordyn Tyson, the polished, pro‑ready game of Carnell Tate, and the dynamic versatility of Makai Lemon — three prospects who could all land in the first round and immediately command fantasy attention. From landing‑spot volatility to target‑share upside, Bloom and Schneier map out how each player could hit big in Year 1.

On this episode of On The Couch, Sigmund Bloom is joined by Matt Waldman to dig into the brand‑new 2026 Rookie Scouting Portfolio and break down the most fascinating skill‑position prospects in this year's class. Waldman shares his early evaluations, big swings, and the traits that separate the real difference‑makers from the pretenders.

🔥 Description

On this episode of The Audible, Cecil Lammey and Sigmund Bloom dig into a huge week of storylines shaping the 2026 NFL landscape — starting with the new contract for Seahawks WR Jaxson Smith‑Njigba. What does JSN's monster deal mean for the next wave of young receivers looking to cash in, especially George Pickens, who's angling for his own long‑term payday.

The fellas also dive into the 2026 NFL Draft, spotlighting Jeremyah Love, the consensus No. 1 running back in the class. Could he really fall out of the top 10, or is his talent too rare for teams to pass on. Then it's time for a reality check on Ty Simpson, the Alabama quarterback generating big buzz despite fewer than 10 college starts. Is the hype justified, or is the NFL projecting too much on traits and not enough on tape.

    JSN's new contract and what it means for WR market dynamics

    How George Pickens' negotiations could shift after Seattle's deal
