On this episode of On the Couch, Sigmund Bloom sits down with Patrick Daugherty to dig into one of the most important — and misunderstood — questions in football: Are NFL general managers actually getting better… or are we just grading them on vibes and results.

Pat's annual GM rankings spark a wide‑ranging conversation about team‑building, risk‑taking, politics inside front offices, and how fantasy managers can learn from the best (and worst) decision‑makers in the league. From blockbuster trades to quiet roster construction, Bloom and Pat break down what separates the sharp GMs from the ones who are just surviving.

This one goes deep — team philosophy, talent evaluation, organizational psychology, and how all of it trickles down to fantasy football strategy.

In This Episode: On this edition of The Audible, Cecil Lammey and Sigmund Bloom break down the NFC West's 2026 NFL Draft, a division that delivered one of the wildest mixes of brilliance, confusion, and long‑term gambles.

The Arizona Cardinals may have landed a future superstar in RB Jeremiyah Love, a dynamic, explosive runner who could become the focal point of their offense sooner than expected. Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Rams left everyone scratching their heads after drafting QB Ty Simpson in the first round — a move that raises more questions than answers about their direction and timeline.

Up in Seattle, the Seahawks grabbed Jadarian Price, a smooth, versatile back who might be the perfect replacement for Kenneth Walker. And in San Francisco, the conversation turns to John Lynch — is he actually good at drafting, or is the roster carrying the reputation.

In This Episode: Cecil Lammey and Sigmund Bloom turn their attention to the AFC West as they break down how the 2026 NFL Draft reshaped one of the league's most competitive divisions. Did the Denver Broncos land a future star in RB Jonah Coleman, a back Cecil believes could become the centerpiece of Sean Payton's offense. Over in Las Vegas, the Raiders hit the reset button with Fernando Mendoza, the No. 1 overall pick — but can he finally give them the franchise quarterback they've been chasing for two decades.

The Kansas City Chiefs made calculated moves to rebound from a down year, but did they add enough immediate impact to reclaim control of the division. And the Los Angeles Chargers quietly built a class that could pay off sooner than people think — but will it be enough to keep pace with the AFC West arms race.
