Summary
In This Episode: On this edition of The Audible, Cecil Lammey and Sigmund Bloom break down the NFC North's 2026 NFL Draft haul and what it means for one of the league's most unpredictable divisions. The Bears added talent across the board — but how does Sam Roush fit into an already crowded tight end room, and could he carve out a role sooner than expected. The Lions made aggressive, win‑now moves… but did they do enough to push themselves back into a Super Bowl window.
Meanwhile, the Packers and Vikings took very different approaches: Green Bay leaned into their developmental philosophy, while Minnesota made picks that signal a longer‑term reset. Every team added pieces — but which ones actually changed their trajectory.
