It’s a bittersweet goodbye as Yahoo Sports’ Andrew Siciliano, Charles Robinson, Jori Epstein and Frank Schwab gather for one final edition of Inside Coverage. They start by reacting to Mike Vrabel’s latest comments on the New England Patriots potentially adding WR A.J. Brown to the offense, before diving into Matthew Stafford’s contract extension. The crew also dips their toes into the legal waters with breakdowns on the Florida AG subpoenaing the NFL over the Rooney Rule and the NCAA denying Brendan Sorsby’s reinstatement request. Plus, former Denver Broncos safety Justin Simmons joins to discuss retirement! Finally, the show ends with a sentimental One More Thing.

Nate Tice, Matt Harmon & Charles McDonald compete to draft the best roster of NFL skill players heading into the 2026 season. The hosts take turns drafting from among the best skill players in the NFL to create the best offense possible. Matt builds his team around speed, taking Ja’Marr Chase and Jaxon Smith-Njigba at wide receiver, Jahmyr Gibbs at running back, Tucker Kraft at tight end and Nico Collins as his flex option. Charles has the most physical roster, grabbing James Cook, Drake London, Puka Nacua, Colston Loveland and Jameson Williams as a deep speed threat. Nate’s team has Bijan Robinson carrying the rock, with Justin Jefferson, Amon-Ra St. Brown, CeeDee Lamb and Brock Bowers in the passing game.

Nate Tice is joined by Bill Barnwell & Gregg Rosenthal to draft the top 18 NFL quarterbacks heading into the 2026 season.

Next, Nate, Bill and Gregg cover the latter half of the top ten, including where quarterbacks like Jordan Love, Dak Prescott, Trevor Lawrence and Brock Purdy stack up, before rounding out the top 18 with conversations on Jared Goff, Caleb Williams, C.J.
