The Cowboys didn’t just add talent—they made a clear statement.

From landing elite safety Caleb Downs to adding pass rush juice with Malachi Lawrence and versatility across the defense, this draft may have reshaped the identity of the entire team.

Plus, a closer look at the Cowboys’ draft-day moves—trading up, trading back, and maximizing value—and why this front office deserves real credit for how they operated.

Then, Zac shifts to what comes next: development, coaching, and whether this new-look roster can actually come together on the field.

And finally… the biggest looming question—what happens with George Pickens? The contract situation could define the future of this offense, and there are real reasons for concern.

Welcome back to the Landry Hat Podcast, powered by FanSided. Zac and Foots are back to break down a huge draft haul for the Dallas Cowboys.

In this episode, the guys dive into Dallas landing Caleb Downs and Malachi Lawrence — and what it means for the future of this defense.

They start with Downs, one of the most complete defensive backs in the class. From his range and instincts on the back end to his ability to impact the game in multiple alignments, Zac and Foots break down why this pick could elevate the entire secondary immediately.

Then it’s Malachi Lawrence — a physical, disruptive presence in the trenches. The guys discuss how he fits into the defensive front, what kind of role he could carve out early, and whether he has the upside to become a cornerstone piece on this defensive line.

Plus, what this says about the Cowboys’ defensive direction moving forward, how these picks impact the current roster, and whether Dallas just laid the foundation for a much more aggressive, playmaking unit.

Today’s episode is all about one of the most fascinating stories in football right now — Brandon Aubrey.

We break down Aubrey’s new contract and what it means for the Cowboys moving forward, but more importantly, we dive into how we even got here. Because this isn’t normal. Not for a kicker, and honestly not for any player.

From a former pro soccer player to one of the most automatic kickers in the NFL, Aubrey’s rise has been nothing short of ridiculous. We talk through his historic start, the numbers that put him in rare territory, and why what he’s doing doesn’t just feel hot — it feels sustainable.

Is he already the most reliable weapon on the Cowboys roster? How much value does an elite kicker actually bring in today’s NFL? And are we watching the beginning of one of the greatest kicking careers ever?

If you’ve been taking Aubrey for granted, this episode might change that.

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.

Welcome back to the Landry Hat Podcast, powered by FanSided. In today’s episode, Zac and Foots break down one of the biggest questions surrounding the Dallas Cowboys heading into the 2026 NFL Draft… could Dallas actually trade UP?

With rumors heating up around David Bailey and the possibility of him going as high as the top 3 picks, the conversation shifts to a major concern — what if the Cowboys sit at pick #12 and miss out on all the top defensive talent?

We dive into:

• The growing buzz around David Bailey and his draft stock
• Why the Cowboys could feel pressure to move up the board
• What it would realistically cost Dallas to trade into the top 3
• Whether giving up picks like #92 should even matter in a move like this
• And if staying at #12 could leave Dallas without “their guy” on defense

Plus, we discuss other defensive options like Rueben Bain Jr. and whether the Cowboys should trust the board… or go get the player they believe in.

Is this the year Dallas finally makes an aggressive draft move?

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.
