It's recruiting season for the 2027 class. The QB market is wide open while playoff teams are out to flip five-stars.

Heading into the 2026 NFL Draft Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, Peter lists his top 5 Combine storylines he's following and provides his thoughts on the 21 new offensive coordinator hirings across the NFL. He, then, brings in longtime NFL GM and executive Tom Telesco to go through the following few months and what that entails for an NFL general manager. Telesco takes us through the draft process of Justin Herbert, Derwin James, Keenan Allen, and Brock Bowers. He, then, goes through the free agent signing of Casey Hayward and the trade for Khalil Mack, and uses all of these situations to explain the various ways player acquisitions can work. The two then go down storytime lane, and discuss the drafting of Pat McAfee in Indianapolis, Philip Rivers days in San Diego, and what Nick Sirianni was like as a position coach for the Chargers.
