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.

The guys dive into Indiana QB Fernando Mendoza, a passer with surprising nuance and a ceiling that might be higher than people realize. They examine whether Notre Dame RB Jeremiyah Love — the top running back in the class — can make an instant impact at the next level, or if landing spot will determine everything. And they break down why Oregon TE Kenyon Sadiq might be the best move tight end in the entire draft, with the kind of athletic profile that changes how an offense operates.
