The board just shifted—and it might’ve handed Dallas exactly what they needed.

On this episode of DoubleMove, Zac breaks down how the Dallas Cowboys could benefit BIG TIME from the New York Giants trading for Dexter Lawrence and jumping back into the top 10. With the Cincinnati Bengals now OUT of that range, a guaranteed defensive pick disappears—and that changes everything for Dallas at #12.

We dig into what this means for the draft board, why the Giants’ roster (on BOTH sides of the ball) makes them unpredictable, and how their decision-making could push one of those top defensive prospects right into the Cowboys’ lap. From Caleb Downs to Sonny Styles, the names Cowboys fans have been watching for months are suddenly a lot more attainable.

Plus, we talk through the ripple effect across the top 10—why teams like Washington, New Orleans, and others could prioritize offense, and how that “offense-heavy” trend could set Dallas up perfectly. And if the board falls just right? Don’t rule out a potential trade-up scenario.

If you’re trying to map out how the Cowboys land a difference-maker in Round 1… this is one of the clearest paths yet.

Welcome back to DoubleMove — where we break down everything going on with the Dallas Cowboys and the NFL Draft.

In today’s episode, we’re diving into Peter Schrager’s latest mock draft… and I’ll be honest, this one might’ve laid out a dream scenario for the Cowboys.

We’re talking about the possibility of Caleb Downs falling to Dallas at 12 — and why that would be a no-brainer, instant-impact move for this defense. But at the same time… I’m not sure we should be getting our hopes up just yet.

We also break down what’s happening inside the top 10 — including a heavy offensive run, the rise of offensive tackles like Francis Mauigoa and Spencer Fano, and why wide receiver might be a bigger priority for teams than people expect.

Plus, we get into a really interesting trade-up scenario involving Rueben Bain Jr. at pick 8… and why that might actually be more realistic than it sounds.

Then at 20, we’re talking about Akheem Messidor — one of the most “Cowboys-type” picks you’ll see in mock drafts right now. Day 1 contributor, experienced, and someone who can immediately help fix one of the biggest issues on this roster.

If you’re trying to figure out what the Cowboys are actually going to do on draft night — this is one you don’t want to miss.

Did Jermod McCoy just shake up the entire Dallas Cowboys draft strategy?

In this episode of the DoubleMove Cowboys Podcast, Zac breaks down the biggest takeaway from McCoy’s pro day—he worked out… and looked healthy doing it. After questions surrounding his injury status, this changes the conversation in a big way heading into the 2026 NFL Draft.

We dive into:

• What Jermod McCoy’s pro day performance means for his draft stock
• Why his health could push him back into Round 1 conversations
• How this impacts the Cowboys at pick #12 (and potentially #20)
• Whether Dallas could realistically target McCoy—or if another team jumps first
• The ripple effect this has across the entire NFL Draft board
