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.
