Author: FanSided April 17, 2026 Duration: 30:55

Welcome back to the Landry Hat Podcast, powered by FanSided. Zac Lee & Foots, breaking down everything you need to know about the Dallas Cowboys as the NFL Draft gets closer.

Today’s episode dives into one of the biggest questions surrounding Dallas right now — should the Cowboys trade up? And more importantly… does it feel more likely than not that they actually pull the trigger?

With Jerry Jones emphasizing the need to land two immediate starters, we explore what that means for their draft strategy. If the Cowboys are serious about being aggressive, moving up the board could be very much in play.

We break down:

  • Why trading up is gaining traction right now
  • Whether it makes more sense for a linebacker or if Dallas should target a DE, safety, or cornerback instead
  • The realistic cost of moving up — and the absolute maximum the Cowboys should be willing to give up


This is a big-picture strategy episode with real implications for how Dallas builds this roster heading into the season.
