The hosts name Caleb Banks as their combine answer and refuse to name anyone else.

1. NFL Stock Exchange: An NFL Draft Podcast centers its mailbag on the 2025 linebacker class, combine questions, and team-fit answers. 2. The hosts are Trevor Sikkema and Connor Rogers, the show's draft analysts, and they spend the episode reacting live to super chats and listener prompts. 3. The episode asks which prospects, teams, and positional fits actually matter when the draft board and combine chatter start colliding. 4. One listener asks which player is most likely to "show a dong" at the NFL Combine, and Caleb Banks becomes the immediate answer. 5. A separate question asks for the most disappointing prospect ever evaluated, and Tyree Wilson rises to the top of the hosts' list. 6. The conversation about Jihad Campbell and Sonny Styles compares last year's linebacker class to this year's deeper group. 7. The hosts say Campbell and Styles sit in a similar athletic tier, but Campbell showed more true drop-back coverage work at Alabama. 8. Another thread asks whether the Las Vegas Raiders have had this much optimism since the Derek Carr era or the Jon Gruden return. 9. The hosts frame the Kubiak hire as a reason for some optimism, while also noting that earlier Raiders rosters under Carr and Gruden were stronger. 10. Multiple linebacker questions focus on CJ Allen, Jake Golday, Josiah Trotter, Aiden Fisher, Deontae Lawson, and Lander Barton. 11. The hosts repeatedly describe CJ Allen as a strong answer for teams looking at 33 or the top of round two. 12. They say Josiah Trotter could fit a defense that needs more physicality in its linebacker room. 13. They describe Jake Golday as a possible higher ceiling fit than CJ Allen for some teams because of his skill set. 14. The episode also covers Will Howard, whom one host says he would have taken in the fourth round and potentially considered in the third. 15. The hosts mention Harold Perkins as a player whose ACL injury, weight, and edge-linebacker role complicate his NFL outlook. 16. The listener prompts also trigger quick rankings on start-bench-cut debates, including Jericho Cotchery, Braylon Edwards, Antonio Holmes, and a Buccaneers trio of Derek Brooks, Rondé Barber, and Warren Sapp. 17. The tone is live, fast, and unpolished, with repeated interruptions from chat messages, super chats, and running jokes about typos and hand washing. 18. The format is essentially a live Q&A, with the hosts pivoting from draft grades to NFL history and back again. 19. Listeners who follow NFL Draft linebacker evaluations and team fits will get the most out of this episode. 20. Listeners wanting a tightly edited, topic-specific breakdown may skip this one.
