Every team added pieces — but which ones actually changed their trajectory. 🔥 In this episode: How Sam Roush fits into Chicago’s deep TE rotation Did the Lions add enough to stay in the championship hunt Why the Packers’ draft screams long‑term planning What the Vikings’ approach says about their rebuild timeline Which NFC North team improved the most for 2026 Drop your thoughts in the comments — who won the NFC North draft in your eyes.
