Would the Dallas Cowboys Really Do this Again? + Analyzing the Top 10 Picks & What it Means

Welcome back to the Landry Hat Podcast, powered by FanSided

In today’s episode, we take a deep dive into the top nitty-gritty of the 10 picks of the 2026 NFL Draft and how Dallas Might Be Forced to do something they've done for YEARS.. Take an offensive player.

Would the Cowboys really take another OT, WR, TE with their premium first round pick..? They might not have a choice

We break down the realistic odds of top prospects falling to Dallas, which names feel like long shots, and why it’s starting to feel more likely that the Cowboys could be sitting there at 12… without a player they truly love. That leads to the bigger question: do they stay patient—or get aggressive?

We also explore a potential trade-up scenario, what it would cost, and which players could be worth going up to get if the board starts falling the wrong way. If Dallas has “their guy,” would they finally go get him?

This episode covers:
