DallasCowboys.com Draft Show – Bryan Broaddus, Kyle Yeomans, Voch Lombardi, Nick Harris, Bobby Belt, Tommy Yarish

---

Episode Overview

The Draft Show crew gathers for a high-energy, war room-style first-round mock draft with a focus not only on the Cowboys but on the entire NFL landscape. The show dives into the 2025 draft class, mock strategies, and key names expected to shake up the board. Insider insights and debate abound as the panel navigates picks, potential trades, and how a real "wipeout scenario" might affect the Cowboys’ approach.

---

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Mock Draft Philosophy & Process ([04:13])

• The panel sets ground rules, emphasizing that the mock attempts to predict team behaviors but also encourages some unpredictable, “realistic” unexpected picks.
• Voch Lombardi voices a common sentiment:

  “We suck at mock drafting…Teams suck at drafting.”

• The exercise is both war room simulation and entertainment, expecting the unexpected and including possible trades.

2. Early Picks and Edge Rushers Dominate

Picks 1–5 ([06:44]–[11:32])

• #1 Raiders: Fernando Mendoza is the consensus pick, disregarding the real-life signing of Kirk Cousins.
• #2 Jets: Arvell Reese (edge/LB, Ohio State), with discussion if the true draft kicks off at this pick.
• #3 Cardinals: Francis Mauigoa (OL), heavily rumored to Arizona.
• #4 Titans: David Bailey (Edge), with Nick Harris dismissing RB Jeremiah Love as early “smokescreen.”
• #5 Giants: Sonny Styles (LB/S), described as a nightmare for NFC East teams to face.

3. Trades & Team Strategies in Focus

Browns at #6 – The Trade Dilemma ([12:03]–[16:35])

• Bobby Belt details how the Browns want to trade down in real life, even trying to work a simulated trade with the Cowboys and Panthers.
• No deal satisfied both sides, so Browns stick with OT Monroe Freeling.
• Cowboys’ potential targets (Bailey, Bane, Downs) are debated; Cowboys don’t trade up in this scenario.

4. Wide Receivers Start Coming Off the Board ([17:36]–[18:55])

• #7 Commanders: Carnell Tate (WR)
• #8 Saints: Jeremiah Love (RB, described as a BPA/luxury, possibly signaling an Alvin Kamara trade)
• #9 Chiefs: Monsieur Delane (CB)
• #10 Bengals: Caleb Downs (S)
• #11 Dolphins: Reuben Bain (Edge)
  Cowboys are up next and find themselves "wiped out" on their main defensive targets.

---

Cowboys’ First-Round Struggles & Trade Conversation

The "Wipeout Scenario" at Pick #12 ([29:52]–[37:02])

• Cowboys’ top targets are gone; discussion ensues about trading down.
• Offers from Vikings (pick #18 + thirds or second-rounder) and Bears.
  • “If I’m picking receiver at 12, then…for resource management, I have to pick up extra capital…” – Bobby Belt ([33:55])
• Nick Harris (as Vikings GM) wants to trade up for S Dylan Thieneman.
• Internal debate: if forced to pick, names floated include Jordan Tyson (WR), Makai Lemon (WR), and Akeem Mesidor (EDGE).
• Consensus: Cowboys trade back to 18, pick up the 49th overall pick.
• Vikings take Thieneman at 12.

Picks 13–17

• Rams: Makai Lemon (WR)
• Ravens: Jermod McCoy (LB/EDGE)
• Buccaneers: Colton Hood (CB)
• Jets: Jordan Tyson (WR)
• Lions: Spencer Fano (OL); debate if he's projected at G or T.

Cowboys at #18 ([40:56]–[42:17])

• Consensus pick: Akeem Mesidor (EDGE, Miami)
  • “You can get whatever player on defense you want at this point…so you can go safety, corner, linebacker, edge.” – Voch Lombardi ([41:40])

---

More Trade Offers and Drafting for Value

Pick #20 – Stick or Trade Again? ([47:03]–[51:43])

• Cowboys field more trade offers (Texans, Chiefs).
• “I want as many picks as possible. I would take the Chiefs' offer.” – Tommy Yarish ([48:52])
• Ultimately, for clarity, they “stick and pick” at 20:
  • Pick: Avion Terrell (CB, Clemson)
• Discussion on his fit given an already deep corner room: “Does he play over anybody?” – Voch wonders about existing personnel ([51:53]).

Rest of the First Round: Value, Needs, and Surprises

• Steelers: KC Concepcion (WR), a shift for the “small fast guy.”
• Chargers: Peter Woods (DT)
• Eagles: Kenyon Sadiq (TE/Weapon), lauded as a “Howie Roseman pick.” ([55:21])
• Browns (from Jaguars): Omar Cooper (WR)
• Bears: Kaden McDonald (DT)
• Bills: Gabe Yakis (DE), “This hasn’t been nonsense enough yet.” – Voch ([56:58])
• Miners: Zion Young (Edge)
• Texans: Kadyn Proctor (OL/OG), “I’m not as high on Banks...” – Voch
• Chiefs: Keldrick Falk (Edge)
• Dolphins: Brandon Cissé (CB)
• Patriots: CJ Allen (LB), “Go watch CJ Allen be an All-Pro for the Patriots.” – Voch ([60:38])
• Seahawks: Emmanuel McNeil-Warren (S), “A lot of M’s – ‘the M safeties.’” – Nick Harris ([61:43])

---

Notable Quotes & Moments

• Voch Lombardi on the unpredictability of drafts:

  “I want to make stupid picks on purpose because I think that’s realistic… Teams suck at drafting.” ([05:01])

• Nick Harris on RB rumors:

  “I think it’s a smokescreen. Why would you take Jeremiah Love at 4 when you need so many other things?” ([10:12])

• Bobby Belt on resource allocation:

  “If I’m picking receiver at 12, then…for resource management, I have to pick up extra capital because…I can’t just devote this much to receiver.” ([33:55])

• Voch Lombardi on sticking to best available:

  “I feel like I would rather have a dude that I think can come in and do spectacular things…than to go back [to 18].” ([34:04])

• “There hasn’t been enough nonsense in this draft. And every year, there’s always some nonsense…” – Voch ([56:58])

---

Key Timestamps

• [04:13] – Show philosophy: “War room” exercise and realism about unpredictability.
• [06:44] – Mock begins: Mendoza to Raiders.
• [12:03] – Browns’ trade-down scenario at #6.
• [29:52–37:02] – Cowboys “wipeout” at #12; trade-down debate.
• [40:56] – Cowboys’ pick at #18 after trade-down: Akeem Mesidor.
• [47:03] – Cowboys field another trade at #20; ultimately select Avion Terrell.
• [51:43] – Discussion on cornerback depth and Dallas’ draft strategy.
• [61:01] – Seahawks' pick and final notes.

---

Cowboys’ Final Haul

• #18 Akeem Mesidor (EDGE, Miami)
• #20 Avion Terrell (CB, Clemson)
• Plus, an extra 2nd-round pick (via trade back with Vikings)

The consensus is that while it’s not a “fantasy draft,” the draft set up broke against Dallas – a “wipeout scenario.” The panel largely agrees that trading back and picking up extra capital is a realistic and likely approach if top-tier targets are off the board.

---

Episode Tone & Flow

The show is energetic, playful, and authentic, with the analysts poking fun at each other, but always circling back to insightful, often contrarian, analysis. The “war room” spirit shines as they debate, agree, and sometimes bemoan the luck (or lack thereof) of the Cowboys’ simulated draft scenario. There’s a running joke about “wiping out” and “stupid mock picks,” embodied in Voch’s quips and the group’s collective self-awareness.

Summary Table of Mock Draft (Top 12)

| Pick | Team | Player (Position, School) | |------|-------------|-----------------------------------| | 1 | Raiders | Fernando Mendoza (QB) | | 2 | Jets | Arvell Reese (Edge/LB, Ohio St.) | | 3 | Cardinals | Francis Mauigoa (OL) | | 4 | Titans | David Bailey (Edge) | | 5 | Giants | Sonny Styles (LB/S) | | 6 | Browns | Monroe Freeling (OT, Georgia) | | 7 | Commanders | Carnell Tate (WR, Ohio St.) | | 8 | Saints | Jeremiah Love (RB) | | 9 | Chiefs | Monsieur Delane (CB) | | 10 | Bengals | Caleb Downs (S, Ohio State) | | 11 | Dolphins | Reuben Bain (Edge, Miami) | | 12 | Vikings (via Cowboys) | Dylan Thieneman (S) |

Closing Thoughts

The mock exemplifies how actual NFL teams approach the unpredictability of draft night, the pressure of wipeout scenarios, and the value of trade flexibility. For the Cowboys, the group’s simulated “worst-case” highlights the importance of considering both Plan B and C, with nearly unanimous agreement: “If your board gets wiped out, don’t panic, pick up the phone, and grab value.”

Transcript

[Kyle Yeomans]

This is the DallasCowboys.com draft show, your war room for insider news and draft analysis from deep within the confines of Cowboys headquarters at the Star and Frisco.

[Vach Lombardi]

Now, your hosts, Vach Lombardi, Nick Harris,

[Kyle Yeomans]

Bobby Belt, Tommy Yarish and Kyle yeomans. Today is April 2nd, it's a Thursday, and we are 21 days away from the NFL Draft in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Welcome in to the Draft show presented by Miller Lite, the only beer of the Dallas Cowboys. It's Miller time, and it is nearly draft time, which means it's actually mock draft time. And we are going to go through our first round live mock here on the Draft show today alongside Vach Lombardi with Nick Harris, Bobby Belt, Chris Beam is in the back and Tommy Yarish is here. I promise he will be here very shortly in the studio. He's got some other interviews and things to take care of beforehand because he's doing.

[Nick Harris]

He's doing some real journalism, actual journalism,

[Kyle Yeomans]

real journalism, real journalism all the time.

[Bobby Belt]

Big journalism.

[Kyle Yeomans]

That's what he's doing currently. And he will be back in the building or in the studio rather very, very shortly. Gentlemen, good to have you back. Bobby, Nick. Missed you guys.

[Bobby Belt]

Yeah, it's good to be here. Happy to do it.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Happy to do it. Thank goodness. Nick, how was pro days and the owner's meetings?

[Nick Harris]

Yeah, I think Tommy reviewed the barbecue for you guys, right? Or did he not?

[Kyle Yeomans]

Yeah, it was not on. Not on the show.

[Nick Harris]

It was. Yeah. It wasn't great. Oh, it wasn't great.

[Bobby Belt]

Where was it at?

[Nick Harris]

I. I don't want to.

[Bobby Belt]

No, no. What part of the country?

[Nick Harris]

Lubbock.

[Bobby Belt]

Yeah.

[Nick Harris]

And I figured Lubbock would have been strong.

[Bobby Belt]

Basically New Mexico.

[Keith Davis]

Yeah.

[Nick Harris]

But I figured Lubbock would have been strong. I've had some great. And barbecue in Midland, Odessa, up in the Panhandle.

[Vach Lombardi]

But I saw pics online. I wouldn't. I wasn't thrilled by what I saw. Yeah. Yeah.

[Nick Harris]

It wasn't. It wasn't great. If. Word of advice, the size, like, if I'm ever doing a, like, barbecue tweet and it's like, man, the dessert was phenomenal.

[Bobby Belt]

Yeah, that's.

[Kyle Yeomans]

That's the tell.

[Nick Harris]

Yeah. And the, and the, the peanut butter pie was phenomenal. Don't get me wrong. But anyway, Texas Tech pro. Texas Tech was awesome.

[Vach Lombardi]

Talk to him. And then Bobby, talk to him.

[Nick Harris]

Did owners meetings in Phoen this week. It was kind of a snooze overall, but, yeah, glad to be back in this chair. I'm ready to get ready for the draft, man, we're three weeks away.

[Bobby Belt]

It's crazy.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Crazy how quickly it is found its way here. And we're, of course, 21 days out. We usually do this a month out, but because everybody was on pro day trips and out of the studio for a little bit, we wanted to wait till everybody was back. And even today, Tommy's still in and out, but if we don't do it today, not going to be able to do it next week either. So we are going to go through all 32 picks in the first round. We have an order, and this was randomized last night, and it. It'll go in order, and then we'll skip Tommy until we get Tommy back. And then as we continue on, we'll. We'll kind of go through the picks as needed, but it's going to be Vauch first, followed by Bobby, myself, Nick, and Tommy. So that is the group.

[Bobby Belt]

May I ask questions about this layout here?

[Kyle Yeomans]

Sure.

[Bobby Belt]

Okay. Are we able to trade?

[Kyle Yeomans]

You know what? I. You sent that in a group message and I forgot to respond. If you have a trade opportunity, sure. Let's have some fun.

[Bobby Belt]

Am I picking this as if I'm the GM or what I think these teams are doing?

[Vach Lombardi]

That's important. What.

[Kyle Yeomans]

What you think the teams are doing.

[Bobby Belt]

Okay. All right. Because I think in some of these instances, I think definitely one of my teams wants to trade, so.

[Vach Lombardi]

Okay.

[Kyle Yeomans]

So I. I want to say yes. Based on what you believe. The. If you're the Browns, which you are the Browns.

[Vach Lombardi]

Yeah.

[Kyle Yeomans]

If you are the Browns, do you feel like they would trade pick number six? Do you feel like they would take a player in that certain scenario? We're trying to predict the first round. That is ultimately what this first round mock draft is going to be, and we'll see exactly how it lines up. If you want to throw a little bit of personal flair in there, too, Vaj, I know you always like to do that. If you'd like to throw a little bit of that in, you can. But just keep it in mind that that's generally the foundation.

[Vach Lombardi]

Kyle, let me say this.

[Kyle Yeomans]

You hate mock drafts.

[Vach Lombardi]

Yes. But I wasn't going to say that because I don't want to keep saying the same thing.

[Bobby Belt]

We suck at mock drafting.

[Vach Lombardi]

This is a 32 team show. It's more than just cowboy fans watching this. Let me just say, first dog, we don't care about y' all roster, bro. You know y' all gonna go in the comments, be like, vaich, we got this up and coming. Lineback, you Never heard of that's gonna play a bunch of snaps and you wrong dog. We, we don't care, bro. We just doing an exercise. We just putting players on teams for the sake of doing it. I got, you know, convinced to do this. I was gonna call in sick today. Cause I hate mocks that much. But don't get in the comments. Oh, that's a stupid mock. They'll never. So I don't care. Also too.

[Nick Harris]

Has a mock ever been right?

[Vach Lombardi]

Also too. That's absolutely correct. Also too, I want to make stupid picks on purpose because I think that's realistic.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Okay.

[Vach Lombardi]

Teams suck at drafting. If we did a mock draft this time last year and said, oh, Colson Loveland's going to get drafted five picks ahead of Tyler Warren, you'll say, vosh, that's a stupid, stupid pick. That's a stupid draft. Yeah, you're right. It'll never happen. So stuff happens all the time. I'm going to throw some weird stuff in this draft that's supposed to be fun. Don't go y' all goof ass in the comments talking about, oh, Vosh, this will never happen.

[Bobby Belt]

But to be fair, also, teams use these. Teams will go through these exercises too because they want to know, all right, who's going to potentially fall to it. So it's also in the name of trying to figure out who the Cowboys might get.

[Vach Lombardi]

Sure. There you go.

[Kyle Yeomans]

We've said it before on the show. I look at this as a war room. That's what Brian Broadus and Ed Cahill and David Hellman and Dane Brugler always did on the show as well. They looked at it as a war room. And we are a part of our own scouting department on the media side trying to inform those that are in the building or that are outside of the building when you are in the building and you are in the war room. They do go through these mock draft exercises consistently. So this is just our version of that.

[Vach Lombardi]

And.

[Kyle Yeomans]

And the one thing I will ask of you, watch. I'm cool with stupid picks. I'm cool with kind of throwing some. Some things out there. Do not stray away from. From Mendoza at one just because they signed.

[Nick Harris]

You hate Mox.

[Bobby Belt]

Yeah, you hate Mox. So giving you the automatic one first so you don't even have to pick that.

[Kyle Yeomans]

That's not what I did on purpose, but it turned out that way.

[Vach Lombardi]

Didn't Kirk Cousins just get some. I do have a take on Drew out because I watch the quarterbacks now. Yeah, Drew Allen better than Ty Simpson and Nussmeier better than Ty Simpson. I don't know where this Ty Simpson first round stuff come from. Wow. I got Ty in the third. I like Aller and Nussmeier.

[Bobby Belt]

We're going to convene on Nussmeyer, and that's the. I'm very high on that.

[Vach Lombardi]

And Beck better than Ty Simpson in my personal opinion, but whatever. All right, but. Yeah, but we're going to be totally reasonable. I'm not even going to waste y' all time. Do we have a draft sound Dinger beam or not?

[Kyle Yeomans]

Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun.

[Vach Lombardi]

Fernando Mendoza is a Raider. So in the best interest of time, let's get the mock going so we can get into it.

[Nick Harris]

I'm going to keep track of the picks here, too, and I'll let y' all know if there's any, like, trades that pop up on this simulator that

[Kyle Yeomans]

I'm not gonna shout out. Ah, there it is.

[Bobby Belt]

There we go.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Let's go beam. All right, so that puts Bobby up next after Mendoza is the pick at one to the Raiders.

[Vach Lombardi]

Yeah.

[Bobby Belt]

And is. I mean, does everybody. Does everybody feel like the draft starts at 3 or starts at 2? Like. Because I think that there's a strong likelihood at 2, but there's still some directions that I guess variables that could swing it the other way. But I think consistently every thing you're starting to hear and turning around is that people think the jets are going to end up taking Arvl Reese.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Yeah.

[Bobby Belt]

And so that's what I would project here is say, Arvel Reese, edge rusher slash linebacker from Ohio State to the Jets. But I don't think it can just be automatically shut down as though, yep, Reese is the pick. Nobody else. Because they very well could look at it and go, maybe they like Bailey more or something like that. But I think confidently right now, the best. The most likely option is RV okay,

[Kyle Yeomans]

so do you want to. Is that your pick?

[Vach Lombardi]

Yep.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Okay, so that's the pick. Arvell Reese. To get things started with the jets at two, you said you think it belongs at two. You or the draft starts at two.

[Nick Harris]

Yeah.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Where would you go? Let's just say you're in a similar conversation. Where would you go outside of that? Is it Caleb Downs or where's your.

[Nick Harris]

Outside of Arvo Reese?

[Kyle Yeomans]

Yeah, outside of that.

[Nick Harris]

I think David Bailey's in the mix there. I think Ruben Bane would be in the mix there.

[Kyle Yeomans]

So just basically pick your ice cream flavor of edge Rusher.

[Nick Harris]

Pretty much. Yeah, pretty much. I don't think they. They need a receiver, but I don't think they. They swing for one there. I think that's probably going to be the 16 sweet spot for them. Yeah, we'll circle back on that. And they probably take their receiver there, but, yeah, I think it's edge, rusher, defender.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Yeah. So Arvell Reese, pick number two to the jets, moving on to three. And the Cardinals. Arizona needs offensive line help. They need a lot of other help. And I'm on the clock with the Cardinals. I'm going to take Francis Malinoa. Seems like there's a lot of smoke where there's fire there. Talked to a couple of our friends over at the Cardinals during the NFL combine. They said Malinois, the most likely selection, asked him again last night, just sent a text and said, hey, is it still kind of the same thought process? They said yes. They said Malinois seems to kind of be the guy that they're honing in on. They could go a number of different directions, and this is where things could get wild. If they don't go with an offensive tackle to start, they go somewhere else, maybe with the downs or with wherever they want to go with best player available. But I think your offensive line needs some help.

[Bobby Belt]

If I was making this pick, I would have picked Mountain as well. That's where I assume they're going. If he doesn't go there in the real draft, I don't have just an obvious, like, next spot for Mao Noah, like, just because it may be one of these guys who he just starts falling through the cracks a little bit because of what teams need. But after three, if he doesn't go there, then he could go God knows where between like 4 and 13. I don't know. It's hard to knell down.

[Kyle Yeomans]

You said that at 12, good on

[Bobby Belt]

the Browns trade, in fact.

[Kyle Yeomans]

All right, moving on to pick number four, the Tennessee Titans are on the clock with Nick Harris.

[Nick Harris]

Yeah, this one. This one, I think, you know, we've seen Jeremiah Love get pinned to the Titans and so many fascinating mock drafts. I think it is a smokescreen. I think they're going to go after one of these edge rushers. So I'm going to take David Bailey here. Wow.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Why do you think it's a smoke screen?

[Nick Harris]

Because, you know, why. Why would they show their hand this early? And why would you take Jeremiah Love four when you need so many other things as well?

[Kyle Yeomans]

And why. Why Bailey over Bane and some of these others?

[Nick Harris]

Just the more the prototype guy, I guess it's more the safe Pick, quote, unquote. From a Titan standpoint, I think it makes sense.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Yeah. Good stuff.

[Bobby Belt]

You think there's any shot styles would be in play there?

[Nick Harris]

Could very well could just because, I

[Bobby Belt]

mean like Salah consistently is. He wants top tier linebackers in his defense.

[Nick Harris]

Yeah, absolutely. Definitely could make sense.

[Kyle Yeomans]

When you look at their needs across the board for Tennessee, you look at offensive line edge, wide receiver. No chance they take one of those wide receivers at 4. Probably not running back. They could use one linebacker. They could use one, but those are kind of their secondary needs. So getting a top tier edge rusher there is a very smart pick. Back to Vauch now at number five with the New York Giants.

[Vach Lombardi]

Yeah, man, Bobby just said the name. I look at the Giants and think about what they doing. They got the, you know, they got some rushers up there. They probably comfy there. You know, they got big mans in the middle. They comfy there. I know they just signed Edmunds in the off season, come do some linebacker stuff. I don't think the rest of their linebacker room is stopping them from drafting Sonny. So I'm taking sonny Styles at 5 for the Giants.

[Kyle Yeomans]

I would hate seeing him twice a

[Nick Harris]

year from here on out for the next 15 years.

[Kyle Yeomans]

I would hate that.

[Bobby Belt]

Did you hate seeing him more than downs?

[Kyle Yeomans]

Ooh, probably not, no. Because I have downs as a better

[Bobby Belt]

player and I think then watch downs is going to slide to Dan Quinn at 7.

[Vach Lombardi]

Yeah.

[Kyle Yeomans]

And then that's what ultimately happens. So Sonny Stiles is the pick at five. So we're through five picks. Fernando Mendoza goes one to the Raiders. Arvell Reese goes two to the Jets. Francis Malinoa goes three to the Cardinals. David Bailey goes four to the Titans. And then Sonny Stiles goes number five to the Giants. Bobby, you're on the clock with the Browns at 6.

[Bobby Belt]

Yep. And I'm sitting here and I'm waiting for somebody to call me. I'm waiting on a phone call because the Brown universally that has been the. The chatter coming out of Cleveland is that the Browns want out at 6, that I think that they like some guys that they think they can trade back and get and they really want to start stacking capital a little bit while they've been in some of the financial situations that they've been. So I think they're definitely looking for. Right. How can we get more cheap talent on board here, especially if we think some of these guys we like we can move back a little bit on. And so I don't know what are my. What are my Options immediately on that. How do you want to play this?

[Kyle Yeomans]

You can offer a trade. I know that's not normally how it works. Usually somebody calls sure to come up. But if you have any ideas. Do you have any off?

[Bobby Belt]

So yeah, I mean like instantly seems

[Nick Harris]

interested on this simulator.

[Bobby Belt]

Who are those teams?

[Kyle Yeomans]

Play through it.

[Nick Harris]

You have the Dallas Cowboys at pick number 12 and you have the Carolina Panthers at pick number 19.

[Bobby Belt]

I do honestly think that if Cleveland was shopping pick six, I do think Dallas would check in on it. So like I mean that is realistic. I think they absolutely could look in on that. I see it's tough because I don't think, I don't think the. If you just look immediately after that, I don't think the Saints will go up. I don't think the Chiefs will go up. Don't think the Bengals would. Dolphins don't seem to be wanting to like aggressively acquire like big time capital and sacrifice stuff. They look like they're in a stacking mode. So it gets down to Cowboys. Cowboys are probably the easiest first team behind them.

[Nick Harris]

The thing is they don't really have draft capital this year. That would make sense on the chart for Dallas. A 400 point discrepancy to move up from 12 to 6. And the only picks that they have that are worth More than 150 are the two first round picks.

[Bobby Belt]

So what's the, what's the point difference if you go 12 and 20 for 6 and 39?

[Nick Harris]

6 and 39 is a grand total of. I think that's pretty 2110 and 12 and 20 is a grand total of 2050. So it would be a 60 point benefit toward the Cowboys.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Yeah, underpay. Which a lot of times you're going

[Nick Harris]

to have to over which maybe you throw in a fourth round pick to get it done.

[Bobby Belt]

But also if you're Dallas and you're looking at it going like we're on the phone with you because the teams directly in front of us aren't wanting to go up. So you can gladly slide back another 10 spots and want to risk losing somebody.

[Kyle Yeomans]

If Dallas is doing that, are they doing it for Caleb Downs? What are they trying to move up

[Bobby Belt]

and make a pick for? So given that Nick ruined everything with the Titans, I like Caleb Downs. I think Caleb Downs is a really, really good player. Given where their needs are and what they're trying to do over the next three years. I don't know that now I'd be willing to make the move to go up and get Downs. I might. If Downs gets a Little lower. If Bailey had not gone forward to Tennessee. If Bailey was 6, I'm going, like. And I'm not thinking I'm moving up and I'm taking Bailey to me, that's. That's a superstar.

[Nick Harris]

Yeah. If I'm the Cowboys here, I'm. I'm not moving up to six. I'm. I'm looking at pick number nine, maybe.

[Bobby Belt]

So just, I guess, throw me the Carolina deal. What. What's Carolina got? And then if I don't like it, I'll just pick, though.

[Vach Lombardi]

Like, you know. Yeah, because this is.

[Bobby Belt]

No, because I know this is.

[Kyle Yeomans]

This is the scenario.

[Bobby Belt]

You know, you're gonna love it. You're gonna love the pick. You're gonna be thrilled with the pick because you. You would hate the pick if it was your team. And so I'm guessing they don't want to move back all the way to Carolina. And so I'm just gonna have to pick if Dallas isn't gonna play. And so it's Monroe Freeling, offensive tackle, Georgia.

[Vach Lombardi]

So what would Bobby do If Bobby was the GM there?

[Bobby Belt]

I mean, if I was in love with Monroe Freeland, I could probably get him at 12. I don't know that I could get him at 19 to the Panthers.

[Vach Lombardi]

What I'm saying is, if Bobby's the GM and the phone don't ring, what player would you. Would you take right there

[Bobby Belt]

for Cleveland specifically? I need some weapons, so I don't know. I might look at one of the receivers there if I. If I had to stand in and pick. So I might. I might go Tate, but I think the Browns would go freely if they got stuck.

[Nick Harris]

If you're Carolina, you're jumping up 13 spots. You'd have to offer this year's two and either next year's one or next year's two.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Yeah, that I don't have to be

[Bobby Belt]

next year's one, and I don't know that Carolina's going up to do that. Although they were aggressive, they made a couple of really aggressive moves in the off season. Yeah, I'm going to stick and pick and just say Cleveland's not able to bail out and they end up taking Monroe freely.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Try and revamp that offensive line a little bit. Not a quarterback draft.

[Nick Harris]

Not a receiver.

[Vach Lombardi]

No. Can I ask Bobby some?

[Bobby Belt]

I think that, like, what they would look at it, they would say that this is a pretty decent receiver draft, that they'd feel better about a receiver they could get at 39 than the tackle they could get at 39.

[Vach Lombardi]

Bobby, would you assume that the Cowboys feel like if this situation happened, if Bailey is gone, that they wouldn't trade up because they would feel like they got a good shot of Bane and Downs getting to him at 12.

[Bobby Belt]

I think that they feel like they. They wouldn't have to take as much of a bath with the 20 to 39 if they just wait a couple more picks and entertain like Nick, you

[Kyle Yeomans]

threw out nine as a possibility there if they wanted to maybe trade up with the Chiefs and see what happens there.

[Bobby Belt]

There is. Which we. I guess we can touch on it when we get to the Chiefs, but there. There was a scenario like proposed on NFL.com from Eric at home for a Chiefs Cowboy swap. Let's.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Let's get to pick nine real quick just because it would be interesting. Yeah,

[Vach Lombardi]

go ahead. And the.

[Kyle Yeomans]

I've got the Commanders at seven with David Bailey off the board. Plus, I mean they need edge rush, but they've added some edge rushers in free agency. Owe Caleb on Chase on. They're not going to draft Keldrick Falk. They do. I mean, I'm sure they'll probably take a look at Reuben Bain in that possibility, but since they've already added those, they need a second wide receiver that could become a one down the line. I think they're going to take Carnell Tate.

[Vach Lombardi]

Who is this again?

[Nick Harris]

They're going to take offense and you don't see them taking Jeremiah Love.

[Bobby Belt]

You know, the Athletic went through this exercise. They did a mock.

[Kyle Yeomans]

I don't.

[Bobby Belt]

They did. They did a beat rider mock draft and Jeremiah Love got all the way to 14.

[Keith Davis]

Yeah.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Then we'll see what happens. He could probably be in the conversation, but I'm going to say wide receiver. I'm going to say Carnell Tate. Ohio State to the Commanders.

[Vach Lombardi]

What? Number seven. Okay.

[Bobby Belt]

Okay.

[Vach Lombardi]

I thought I heard you say he was about to jump around somewhere. My fault, my fault. My fault. Man.

[Bobby Belt]

I will say Bane does feel like a Quinn player though, too.

[Kyle Yeomans]

He does, he does. But I'm going to try and mix it up a little bit.

[Vach Lombardi]

Where.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Where do you go with the saints at 8 there? Nick Harris.

[Nick Harris]

Yeah. I think this is one that's not necessarily a need, but you see a guy slipping like this and you just got to take him. If you're the Saints, you've already kind of mentioned the idea of shopping Camara around and you can really start to explore that in the off season and after you draft Jeremiah Love.

[Bobby Belt]

See, he does want to run the damn ball. Bang,

[Nick Harris]

bang.

[Kyle Yeomans]

That's a callback for a Lot of Cowboys fans back in Kansas City at 9. Casey. It's Vox.

[Bobby Belt]

So that.

[Vach Lombardi]

That.

[Bobby Belt]

That's. You're just like that. That's just a symptom of. Look, he's just too good a player, and we're not going to pass him up. So similar, like a CD situation that

[Nick Harris]

the Cowboys trade value for Camara and probably. Probably pick up some not great draft capital, but some considerable draft capital for next year.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Remember, they. They signed Travis now. Hn.

[Nick Harris]

Yeah.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Not ETN anymore. Travis. HN is what he wants to be called by. But that's. That's the room. Then it's Jeremiah Love, Travis. Hn.

[Nick Harris]

And we have time for a Camara.

[Kyle Yeomans]

What's that?

[Nick Harris]

We have time for, like a linguistics phonetics rant.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Sure.

[Nick Harris]

It's like ichin. Like, that's. Like. That's how you technically pronounce it. He still pronounced it wrong. Yeah, because he's like, this will be easier for everybody, but it's closer at least than what people have actually been calling me. But, like, the French pronunciation is like ichin.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Ichian.

[Bobby Belt]

Yeah. Christopher Shark.

[Kyle Yeomans]

It's kind of like a hybrid of both of the pronunciations each and Chris.

[Bobby Belt]

Richard never told everybody that it was actually Richard, but I'm being dead serious. He. He just was like. It's just Richard is already gonna trip some people up.

[Vach Lombardi]

You. You play.

[Bobby Belt]

No, I'm dead serious.

[Vach Lombardi]

I'm a lie.

[Bobby Belt]

I'm 100.

[Vach Lombardi]

You never said that. No, that's false.

[Bobby Belt]

I'm 100% serious. 100% serious.

[Nick Harris]

Number nine.

[Bobby Belt]

Number nine.

[Kyle Yeomans]

All right, Kansas City vatch. Are you trading?

[Vach Lombardi]

Are y'. All. Are y' all calling me?

[Nick Harris]

I thought. I thought you didn't want to entertain it. I thought you weren't picking up downs.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Is you phone Downs is still there at nine. Is that a possibility? Nick, we're. We're consensus picking. You have Cowboys.

[Nick Harris]

You have seven teams on the phone with.

[Vach Lombardi]

Who's calling? Talk to me. What the business is.

[Nick Harris]

You have the Cowboys at 12. Oh, you have the Lions at 17, Vikings at 18, Panthers at 19, Eagles at 23, Bears at 25, Seahawks at 32.

[Vach Lombardi]

Oh, man. Boy, that's some option. What's the. What's the. What's the cowboy capital on this is. We're a cowboy show. What are we doing?

[Nick Harris]

The cowboy pick here would be giving up 12 and 20 and picking. If you're the Cowboys, you're giving up 12 and 20, you're picking up 9, 29, and 109.

[Vach Lombardi]

I like that little bit, though.

[Bobby Belt]

If you're if you're the 929, 109 is what you get for giving up 12 and 20.

[Nick Harris]

Yes.

[Bobby Belt]

So you still pick on a trade value chart. That would be Dallas stealing.

[Vach Lombardi]

Yeah, I like that. Let's say.

[Bobby Belt]

Because 12, 20, 12 and 20 for 29 and 9. I think they're like direct point. Are you sure? Because I think draft tech has it as like they're 90 points.

[Nick Harris]

So like Dallas and the 12 and 20 adds up to 20, 59, 29 and 109 would add up to. Sorry, 2026.

[Vach Lombardi]

The Cowboys traded up and got more picks.

[Kyle Yeomans]

They got one more pick. Yeah, one.

[Vach Lombardi]

Because they went from 20 to 29. Okay. And.

[Kyle Yeomans]

But they still get two in the first round.

[Nick Harris]

It's only, it's only about a 24 point difference.

[Bobby Belt]

Is that. Pff. It's draftech draft.

[Vach Lombardi]

Okay, that's all right. So fellas, if it's Cowboys, who would y' all move up right there to get that extra cavalcake?

[Kyle Yeomans]

I mean.

[Bobby Belt]

Yeah, I don't, I don't even give a damn about who I'm moving up for. It's just like I'm getting an extra picture because to me the, the, the difference between 9 and 12 might be more significant than the difference between 20, 20 and 29.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Absolutely. And not to mention you do have Ruben Baines still there. You have Caleb Downs still there. I mean those are two players that

[Vach Lombardi]

you have kind of Bane downs and Delane.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Right, and Delane. Yeah, I didn't think about that.

[Vach Lombardi]

11. So those, those guys could go into the next three picks.

[Kyle Yeomans]

They very well could.

[Vach Lombardi]

Yeah.

[Kyle Yeomans]

And then none of them are there for you at 12. That's. What is that? That's half of your big six.

[Vach Lombardi]

That's. That's half your big six.

[Nick Harris]

The question you would have to ask if you are Kansas City though, because you are Kansas City.

[Vach Lombardi]

I am Kansas City.

[Nick Harris]

The only thing you are getting out of this is you're moving up from 29. 3.

[Vach Lombardi]

3 spots.

[Kyle Yeomans]

It is that.

[Nick Harris]

That's all you're getting out of it. And like you don't even know what the board's gonna look like in 11 picks.

[Vach Lombardi]

And if I'm Kansas City, I may want a receiver anyway because I want

[Kyle Yeomans]

to dart at the dartboard at one on one. Yeah, you're probably not going to give up one on one.

[Vach Lombardi]

Well, that'll be a steal for the Cowboys though.

[Kyle Yeomans]

I think it would. I don't think it's possible.

[Bobby Belt]

I don't think. I think. I think there could be Kansas City. Entertaining 29 to 20 and then maybe giving you a better collection of some day three picks. But I would, I don't know that they would be willing to incorporate this 12,9 swap when they end up having to spend more. So I don't. I think they'd be out on it and say hey, we may give you a call when you get closer to 20.

[Vach Lombardi]

Yeah, yeah. I tell you what, I'm gonna go ahead and pick this time but, but man, if I'm the Cowboys, hey, give it a shot. If I'm Kansas City, I wouldn't do it. I think that's crazy if I'm Kansas City, but if I'm the Cowboys, hell yeah. Calling people do that. I'm gonna just go ahead and take.

[Nick Harris]

You got some badass players on the

[Vach Lombardi]

board for show dog. You know what I'm saying?

[Bobby Belt]

You could go Kansas City has been. Has shown a lot of interest in Bane.

[Nick Harris]

Yeah, you can't delay.

[Vach Lombardi]

You could go Bane here. You could go Delane here. You know they kind of gave up all day corners and Kansas City likes

[Bobby Belt]

to use high capital on corners but they just don't retain them.

[Vach Lombardi]

Yeah, there's no sign of McKee.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Downs is still there too.

[Vach Lombardi]

Let's go Delane then. Let's just go ahead and go. Monsieur Delane here nine for. For the Kansas City Chiefs.

[Nick Harris]

Then they could also go tackle there. I think that's something to keep an eye. Keep an eye on offensive Spencer Fano still there. Look, I would keep an eye on Spencer Fano on draft night.

[Kyle Yeomans]

So Delane off the board. That's a, that's a miss for Dallas two picks away. Bobby, you're at 10 with the Bengals.

[Bobby Belt]

Okay, so reset for me.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Who all's gone so Mendoza, Reese, Malinoa Bailey, then Styles Freeling. Tate Love Delane.

[Bobby Belt]

Tate Love Delane. Okay, yeah, this is. I'm going to have to be the bad guy here because I don't think they think too hard about this. Cincinnati Bengals take Caleb Downs and safety Ohio State.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Yeah, that's.

[Bobby Belt]

That's fair.

[Kyle Yeomans]

And then the dolphins at 11, they

[Vach Lombardi]

have to go bang here.

[Kyle Yeomans]

I think that's makes sense for them and this is the nightmare scenario.

[Bobby Belt]

I don't.

[Nick Harris]

Their wide receiver one right now is Jalen Tolbert.

[Vach Lombardi]

Nick trying to get Bane to the count.

[Kyle Yeomans]

You're doing your best to get him.

[Nick Harris]

I'm calling Miami and I'm saying your wide receiver one is Jalen Tolbert.

[Kyle Yeomans]

We know what you got.

[Vach Lombardi]

The problem though. They hold team wiped like they need everything.

[Bobby Belt]

Who's picking who's their gm?

[Kyle Yeomans]

Me?

[Bobby Belt]

No, no. But who's their gm? And like now? Yeah, no, no. In Miami, who's their gm? It's John, Eric Sullivan, Jeff Halfley. It's Green Bay mentality. And Green Bay, other than Matthew golden, they don't draft receivers in the first round.

[Kyle Yeomans]

It's a good point.

[Vach Lombardi]

This puts Dallas in such a hole is fascinating. I want to talk about it so bad. Please take bang.

[Kyle Yeomans]

I think I'm going to take bang

[Vach Lombardi]

because this is going to generate so much.

[Kyle Yeomans]

This is going to make it really tough. 12 on the other side.

[Vach Lombardi]

I don't want to trade back once we get there. This is tough. This hard. I like this.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Reuben Bane goes to the Miami Dolphins from the Miami Hurricanes at pick number 11.

[Nick Harris]

The break to talk about it.

[Kyle Yeomans]

We do get the break to talk about it. The Cowboys are on the clock at 12. Tommy Yarish is also in the room. We'll step aside more of the draft show in our live first round mock draft right after this.

[Nick Harris]

[Kyle Yeomans]

It was chipper. He had a good morning. Got to talk to some people.

[Tommy Yarish]

Can't be happy anymore. Sorry.

[Kyle Yeomans]

He's been doing real journalism, that's all.

[Nick Harris]

That's exactly it.

[Tommy Yarish]

He's been doing real journalism.

[Kyle Yeomans]

All right, Cowboys are on the clock at 12. We spent a little bit of the break talking about it, but, man, you are wiped out. Here's resetting the board for all those that are following along at home. Mendoza off the board to one with the Raiders. Number two, the jets take Arvell Reese and number three, Francis Malinoa goes to the Cardinals. Titans at four, take David Bailey. Giants at five. Take Sonny Styles. Monroe Freeling goes to the Browns at 6. Thought about trading up there. Didn't do it. Commanders at 7. Carnell Tate, wide receiver, Saints. Jeremiah Love falls to them. They take him at 8. Chiefs at 9. Mansour Delane, 10. It's the Bengals. They take Caleb Downs. 11. The Dolphins take Reuben Bain Jr. You

[Nick Harris]

have two teams on the phone with you here at 12.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Okay.

[Nick Harris]

And I mentioned one of them in breaking the other one's going to be a surprise to you guys. So you guys will see the reaction live. The Minnesota Vikings are on the phone at pick number 18. If you slide back to 18, Minnesota is willing to give up their two third round picks at number 82 overall and number 97 overall. They want to come up. They want to get their guy, Dylan Thieman. They've been honing in on him throughout the draft. They don't maybe think that he's going to slip to to 18. You also have the Chicago Bears on the phone at pick number 25. So you would. You would be slipping even more. You would pick up a second round pick at number 60 overall, and you would pick up a third round pick at number 89 overall.

[Bobby Belt]

Get the hell out of here. Alice Hall. No, I'm. I'm hanging up the phone and I'm never accepting a phone call from. What's yellow's area code again?

[Kyle Yeomans]

The big deal?

[Bobby Belt]

Three, one, two.

[Tommy Yarish]

Oh, Chicago.

[Bobby Belt]

Yeah. Three, one, two.

[Tommy Yarish]

I've had 847. Yeah, that's. There's multiple.

[Nick Harris]

Three, one, two.

[Bobby Belt]

So it's. It's. Vikings are the two thirds. And you said during the break. Is there a second on the table or is it just the 2/3?

[Nick Harris]

You could either do the second round at 49 or the 2/3 at 82 and 97.

[Bobby Belt]

I do like the idea of having 49. I mean, I want the 2/3, but I think I might be able to trade back from 20 and pick up extra thirds, too.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Nick, you're playing the GM of the Vikings at 18. Why would you do that?

[Nick Harris]

I want Dilla Thienaman.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Okay.

[Bobby Belt]

Yeah.

[Kyle Yeomans]

And why do you think he doesn't

[Tommy Yarish]

get there to 18?

[Kyle Yeomans]

Thank you.

[Bobby Belt]

Tommy, where's your landmines?

[Nick Harris]

Your landmines exist with the Jets. They exist with the Buccaneers. Jesse Mentor with the Ravens could very well swing on him as well. You're not taking any chances. You're going up and getting your guy.

[Vach Lombardi]

But, Nick, you the gm, You. You think Thieman's worth two threes? Like if you're. If you're running that draft, you getting rid of both your threes for Dylan

[Bobby Belt]

Thienaman, do you think you can wait till 15 and give up less capital? Maybe.

[Vach Lombardi]

Ain't even answering the question. He's trying to be cowboy guy, be Viking guy. Don't smile.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Be vacant. But remember who we're talking to. Dylan Thienaman is one of Nick's favorite prospects.

[Nick Harris]

Yes.

[Bobby Belt]

If he gets scooped up, they could take Emmanuel McNeil Warren at 18.

[Kyle Yeomans]

They could.

[Vach Lombardi]

Yeah, they could take Wheatley somewhere, but it's a ton of safeties here. Why are you trying.

[Nick Harris]

All right, then what are we doing here? Are we sticking and picking?

[Kyle Yeomans]

What's the third?

[Bobby Belt]

I'm. I'm making. I'm making the trade for 49. If that would be my vote, I'd move back to 18 and take 49 because I don't love anybody at 12 anyway. I think people I would pick at 12 are probably going to be there at 18 anyway.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Let's talk. Let's talk about What? What? You would pick at 12 here.

[Vach Lombardi]

Thank you.

[Kyle Yeomans]

What are you talking about here at 12 if you're the Cowboys.

[Tommy Yarish]

If I'm at 12, I got no problem picking thienaman. I love theater men enough to take

[Kyle Yeomans]

him at 12 even after you.

[Nick Harris]

If I was the preface, though, before we did all this was this is what we think the Cowboys will be doing.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Yes.

[Nick Harris]

Or this is what we think these teams will be doing. And I don't think the Cowboys, as of today would take phenomenon at 12.

[Vach Lombardi]

I want to know both.

[Nick Harris]

Say what?

[Kyle Yeomans]

Jermyn McCoy.

[Nick Harris]

Absolutely not.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Okay. C.J. allen. No, not a 12 or 20. Probably get him in.

[Vach Lombardi]

Really?

[Bobby Belt]

Yoani, if you get stuck.

[Nick Harris]

Yeah. Where are you playing him?

[Bobby Belt]

You can bounce your guard out to tackle.

[Nick Harris]

Oh, man, Fano, you did it. At the end of the year, then we're talking.

[Bobby Belt]

I'd rather have Yoani than Phantom.

[Vach Lombardi]

Wow.

[Nick Harris]

I. I just. I. Again, these are.

[Bobby Belt]

I'm. I'm voting to trade. I'm voting to trade back. Thin the board out for me some and I'll figure it out then two thirds.

[Vach Lombardi]

What do you guys think about Jordan Tyson or Makai Lamon?

[Nick Harris]

Good players.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Best wide receiver available.

[Vach Lombardi]

We just. We just talking. We just talking. You got Fano, you could go wide receiver or you could go deep into your second round defender bag. Tommy and Nick got a one on. On thing to me, but they're not one of your big sixes, I would say.

[Bobby Belt]

I mean, if I'm going to stay there and pick that, then I'm on the phone about Pickens after that.

[Vach Lombardi]

I'll take Jordan Tyson and I won't even.

[Bobby Belt]

I'd love Jordan Tyson, but if I'm picking receiver at 12, then it's like, all right, well, just for resource management, I have to pick up extra capital because this. I can't just devote this much to receiver.

[Vach Lombardi]

Yeah, I feel like I can't. I just feel like I can. I feel like I could take George. I feel like I would rather have a dude that I think can come in and do spectacular things for me, day one on my team than to go back to 18 to. To pick number 18, Trey back.

[Nick Harris]

And.

[Vach Lombardi]

And. And what? Two threes? Come on, man. Just. Just take the better guy.

[Bobby Belt]

I'm. I'm officially voting 49.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Okay.

[Bobby Belt]

I want the. I'll move back, get 18 and 49.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Officially 49. Nick, what would you vote?

[Nick Harris]

I would take. I would take. I'd take 49.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Okay.

[Vach Lombardi]

Let me just say this. I'll fall back on the idea that y' all Cows and y' all trade.

[Bobby Belt]

Pick somebody.

[Vach Lombardi]

You.

[Bobby Belt]

You can vote to pick somebody.

[Vach Lombardi]

Let me say.

[Nick Harris]

Tell us who it is.

[Vach Lombardi]

But Kyle, just say Jordan Tyson, wide receiver has on state. Okay, but if we're gonna sit here, we. We have to talk about this. If we get wiped out in real life and cowboys don't trade back.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Yeah.

[Vach Lombardi]

I think we have to at least give a name. You can ultimately trade back. You can ultimately trade back, but put your toes down. I don't want to say drop you on this platform, but pick a guy, stand pick a guy.

[Bobby Belt]

Don't take the Tennessee corner.

[Vach Lombardi]

Your phone ain't ring. Colton hood. Yep. At 12 for you.

[Nick Harris]

Yep.

[Bobby Belt]

I mean, not. I don't. I don't love anybody. I'm picking a 12. But if I get stuck, Hood. Not. Not me. I'm just. I'm throwing out a name that I think they could go.

[Nick Harris]

Akeem Mezador.

[Vach Lombardi]

Mazador as well.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Probably my name, too.

[Vach Lombardi]

I take Mazador, too. I like Mazador.

[Keith Davis]

That would be.

[Kyle Yeomans]

That would be my name.

[Bobby Belt]

I think he'll be 32 years old by the time he gets to Dallas.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Definitely.

[Tommy Yarish]

I would still him and Dak on

[Vach Lombardi]

the same contract three years ago.

[Tommy Yarish]

I would be more than happy with Thienaman at 12. After that, guys I've got in the vicinity. Tyson, Arizona State Hill Jr. Texas. Sadiq, Oregon. So, I mean, really, if it's just everything is available to you at that point, then why hold yourself back?

[Vach Lombardi]

Terence Steele's dead money be like $8 million or something?

[Kyle Yeomans]

I think so.

[Bobby Belt]

Yeah. I can't remember if that was Pre or post June 1, though.

[Vach Lombardi]

Would it be something crazy to move on from? No, I would just take.

[Bobby Belt]

Yeah, I'm saying 49. 49 is my vote. Nick's saying 49.

[Vach Lombardi]

Go on. Trade back this imaginary phone.

[Bobby Belt]

Well, hold on. We got other.

[Kyle Yeomans]

I mean, we both voted Mezador. I'm okay with trading back. I just. I'm skeptical on why the vikings would do 49. I think the two thirds is more likely.

[Vach Lombardi]

I don't think they would, but I

[Kyle Yeomans]

don't think they would either. Like, I know they want to go get a guy, but I don't think 49 is really in play there on the trade charts and whatever it may be. Why are you just completely giving up anything in the first round and second round to go get your guy?

[Vach Lombardi]

And just to be fair in Cowboy Atlanta. Cowboy fan. I'm loving this.

[Kyle Yeomans]

What are you looking at?

[Nick Harris]

Where we spent 10 minutes on this pick. We got 19 more picks. We had 19 more picks to come.

[Bobby Belt]

Who's.

[Vach Lombardi]

Who's, who's.

[Bobby Belt]

Who's got. Who's got the Rams. Cowboys ran out of the clock. We didn't make a decision.

[Nick Harris]

We didn't get to pick a player.

[Tommy Yarish]

We just waved our first round.

[Bobby Belt]

I'm voting trade back with the Vikings. Whatever that looks like two thirds or.

[Nick Harris]

I think would be a good insight though at the wipeout scenario to see how. How difficult this.

[Kyle Yeomans]

This is going to be. Tough.

[Vach Lombardi]

It's a tough discussion.

[Kyle Yeomans]

We're going to trade back.

[Vach Lombardi]

Trade back.

[Kyle Yeomans]

We're trading back to 49.

[Vach Lombardi]

Take the receiving.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Go Cowboys. Cowboys now pick at 18 and we'll talk about that when we get there. But they'll pick at 18 and 20. They pick up the second round pick. And now you've got that available.

[Nick Harris]

Dylan themed him in a 12 bank.

[Vach Lombardi]

Okay.

[Kyle Yeomans]

So there's the. There's the pick for the Vikings.

[Vach Lombardi]

Rams confident. Take a deal with that. 12 for the Vikings. Whatever. Go, man. Go ahead.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Nick, you're also on the clock with the Rams.

[Nick Harris]

Makai Lemon.

[Kyle Yeomans]

So Makai Lemon there. Nick's trying to get out of here. The. Tommy, you are on the board with the Rams.

[Vach Lombardi]

Don't. The Rams got devonte Smith and Puka. I hope everything's cool with Puka and all that. But wouldn't you assume that they got two great wide receivers just like the Cowboys. The GM of the Rams that got two good receivers. Take Lemon. But the Cowboys won. Why is that?

[Tommy Yarish]

Devonte Smith plays for the Eagles.

[Vach Lombardi]

He do.

[Bobby Belt]

Yeah.

[Vach Lombardi]

When it happened. No, I mean Adam Adams. Thank you, man. Adams, you know what I'm talking about. They got two good receivers at the Rams. Why would they take limit. But the Cowboys won't one pick ahead of him.

[Bobby Belt]

Devonte Adams. To ask their GM Devonte Adams. I wouldn't think is a solution there for the next four years. The way you're potentially thinking of Pickens. And there's no telling what's going on with Pukin. I mean, the Rams were involved in trade discussions this offseason.

[Vach Lombardi]

Based on how you've been talking to me the past couple of. We ain't fighting.

[Kyle Yeomans]

But.

[Vach Lombardi]

But apparently Pickens ain't got a lot of trade value. Don't nobody like Pickens around a league like that. The Cowboys might need a receiver more

[Bobby Belt]

than the Rams would. Huh?

[Vach Lombardi]

Why can't we take Makai Lemon? Y' all waffling.

[Bobby Belt]

I mean we already traded the pick.

[Vach Lombardi]

That's why we said the pick gone. I feel you. The pick gone. It's over. With. But don't you understand, Kyle?

[Bobby Belt]

You understand what I'm saying?

[Kyle Yeomans]

I completely understand.

[Vach Lombardi]

We waffling.

[Bobby Belt]

You're the gm. Who'd you pick? I'd Pickai Lemon. Lemon.

[Vach Lombardi]

All right. I ain't gonna say nothing. I was supposed to be quiet today, but. Kyle.

[Bobby Belt]

No, you're supposed to say something.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Nope, I'm good.

[Nick Harris]

I would be fine with Spencer Fano in that.

[Kyle Yeomans]

I think I would, too, there. If you're going Mezador or Fano, like, Mezadore is my defensive guy there in that wipeout scenario. At 12 for Dallas, it's Mesadore, but he could also fall to you at 18. So I get the thought process of moving back and still picking twice in the first round. If any of those names above you, any of the names that were picked in the top 11 fall, then I think you're picking at 12. Anybody else? I'm good at 18. Whatever that ends up happening. Tommy, you're on the clock with The Ravens at 14.

[Tommy Yarish]

Jermod McCoy, Tennessee.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Oh, so that was quick, too. So Jamal McCoy's off the board. He's not going to fall to 18. Buccaneers at 15.

[Vach Lombardi]

Voch, man, they'll probably take like a corner or something. So.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Boom, boom, boom.

[Vach Lombardi]

And we didn't draft Cotton Hood. Take Colton Hood right there. Tennessee. Go on.

[Bobby Belt]

Okay, you're just punishing me now. What happened as you punishing me? I see how you're playing. Okay, I got you. Jason.

[Kyle Yeomans]

That's at 15 to the Bucs.

[Vach Lombardi]

Colton Hood at 15 to the Bucks.

[Kyle Yeomans]

All right, jets at 16. To the jets at 16 for Bobby.

[Bobby Belt]

Yeah, this is probably going to be a receiver. So we're going to go ahead and say Jordan Tyson, wide receiver, Arizona State.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Best one's on the board recent.

[Bobby Belt]

Tyson, not a bad haul.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Oh, definitely not first round.

[Vach Lombardi]

Great on my board.

[Kyle Yeomans]

He is.

[Vach Lombardi]

Yep.

[Kyle Yeomans]

All right. And then the Lions at 17. Oh, man. They're kind of wiped out in their own scenario because they want. They want corner. What else do the Lions they need?

[Bobby Belt]

Offensive line.

[Kyle Yeomans]

It's probably Spencer. Fan of that.

[Vach Lombardi]

Yeah. Thanos.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Yeah.

[Bobby Belt]

If they think you can play that. Otherwise they may look at Proctor or something.

[Vach Lombardi]

People around the lead think Phantom. A guard or something.

[Bobby Belt]

There's a lot of people who think Van is going to be a guard.

[Vach Lombardi]

Oh, you see that?

[Kyle Yeomans]

How. How would you say, like, percentage wise, if you had to put a number

[Bobby Belt]

on it from people I've talked to.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Who, Who.

[Bobby Belt]

Where have they project them? It's been like split.

[Kyle Yeomans]

This is about 50.

[Vach Lombardi]

50. Okay.

[Bobby Belt]

But I mean, We. We hear this every.

[Nick Harris]

Fascinating. Detroit said this week at the owners meetings that they are looking into flipping Penny Seoul to left tackle.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Oh.

[Nick Harris]

So, yeah.

[Vach Lombardi]

Yeah.

[Nick Harris]

So that would be fascinating if they drafted one of these right tackles and then flip se over to the left side.

[Kyle Yeomans]

I think Fano is probably the pick there. He's the best one on the board. And they need offensive line so badly. Nick, you were on the. Oh, wait, no, it's Cowboys. We're all on the clock at 18.

[Vach Lombardi]

Ooh.

[Kyle Yeomans]

I mean, ma still there.

[Nick Harris]

My guy's still there.

[Vach Lombardi]

Y' all want to trade back one more time? Y' all scared again? You want to trade back?

[Bobby Belt]

Who's calling who'?

[Nick Harris]

There's one team on the phone. It's the Philadelphia.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Let's try it back again. We're good.

[Nick Harris]

That would never happen.

[Vach Lombardi]

I want that Philly pick. What they offering?

[Nick Harris]

23.

[Vach Lombardi]

23 and what.

[Nick Harris]

Let's see right quick.

[Vach Lombardi]

23 and what y'.

[Nick Harris]

All. Y' all discuss why? Do some math, Kyle.

[Vach Lombardi]

Let's do day two Thursday with these picks. That's hard.

[Bobby Belt]

Okay.

[Kyle Yeomans]

It would be.

[Vach Lombardi]

I think I can save this window.

[Bobby Belt]

I think the default is Mezador here. But would you talk about. Since you wanted to talk about the receivers earlier, would you talk about Kenyon Sadiq?

[Vach Lombardi]

I personally wouldn't.

[Bobby Belt]

I think I wouldn't either, but I think a lot of people would.

[Vach Lombardi]

I think drafting at 12, you just kind of got to take the best dude that falls to you, even if that's an offensive player. I think once you're in this territory, you can get whatever player on defense you want at this point. So you can go safety, corner, linebacker, edge. I feel good about all these.

[Bobby Belt]

My, my. The best player on the board is Yoani, but I think Dallas at 18. Yeah, you're looking at Mazador, maybe Avion, Terrell. And then I got Masador as my.

[Vach Lombardi]

As my 14th guy. So he'll be the best.

[Bobby Belt]

The best dude right here would be

[Nick Harris]

it for me as well.

[Kyle Yeomans]

So that's. That's already majority if we're going to vote here. What would you. What would be your pick, Bobby, if you.

[Bobby Belt]

I would say Mezadore.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Okay.

[Bobby Belt]

I don't think it's impossible to come up.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Okay, so consensus pick, Cowboys. Take a key. Mezzadore Edge, rusher from Miami with the 18th pick of the NFL draft after trading and picking up their 49th pick from the Vikings as well. All right, Panthers on the clock. Tommy at 19.

[Tommy Yarish]

I think the Panthers are doing backflips of happiness, picking up veg Iona here.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Yeah, and that's possible, I think.

[Tommy Yarish]

I don't think they did so much on defense that you know you can help offensive line protect Bryce Young and help the offense in the run game too.

[Kyle Yeomans]

All right, we're going to take our second break. When we come back, the Cowboys are back on the clock at 20. They just took. Akeem Mezador will reset the board for you as well. More of our live first round mock draft right after this with more on the draft show.

Visit Dallas Cowboys.com camps to register with Fotch Lombardi, Nick Harris, Bobby Belt, Tommy Yarish, Chris Beam in the back. I'm Kyle Yeomans. This is our live first round mock draft. High intensity in the building, and we aren't even actually picking these players. So this is just a nice little entertaining conversation. And I'm sure that'll continue because the Cowboys are back on the clock at pick number 20. They did pick at 18. And if you're just now tuning in, it's because the Cowboys traded from 12 back to 18 with the Vikings and they picked up a second round pick in order to do so. Let's start at 10. Caleb Downs goes to the Bengals at 10. Dolphins at 11. Take Ruben Bane. The Vikings trading up to the Cowboys at 12. Take Dylan Feneman, safety out of Oregon, Makai Lemon, wide receiver from USC goes to the Rams at 13. 14, the Ravens take Jermond McCoy. 15, the Buccaneers take Colton Hood. Jets take Jordan Tyson, wide receiver, Arizona state at 16. 17. The Lions go offensive line with Spencer Fano out of Utah, and then the Cowboys at 18. Take where the Vikings were picking initially, Akeem Mezador, edge rusher from Miami, and then, oh, Ione from the Panthers, or go to the Panthers from Penn State at the 19th overall pick. And that's how we got the 20. But somebody's on the phone here. Nick, you said.

[Nick Harris]

Yeah, the. The Houston Texans are on the phone here with this pick, offering to move back to pick 28. And hey, they. They. They're wanting to overpay here and giving up pick number 69 overall in the third round.

[Bobby Belt]

Nice.

[Nick Harris]

That'd be a pretty healthy jump or pretty healthy point discrepancy in Dallas's favor if you're looking at it from the Texan standpoint. Look, they need offensive line, defensive tackle.

[Tommy Yarish]

They're probably trying to jump Chicago there.

[Nick Harris]

Yeah, defensive tackle. And also the Chargers are looking at defensive tackle as well. I also think this. This could be a sweet spot for the Cowboys. I' offhand here, I think this could be a sweet spot for the Cowboys for a team to try to jump Pittsburgh to go get Ty Simpson. But in this scenario, yeah, maybe defensive tackle to try to get ahead of the Chargers and the Bears in that scenario.

[Kyle Yeomans]

So this. It would make sense for Houston to make a jump like that. Correct. Like in your mind?

[Nick Harris]

Yes.

[Kyle Yeomans]

And what would you give up if. Or what would you give back?

[Nick Harris]

You would be getting. Oh, my gosh, I just had it. You'd be getting number 69 overall.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Okay.

[Nick Harris]

It's the fifth pick in the third round.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Nice.

[Bobby Belt]

Do you want the chief scenario from NFL.com?

[Vach Lombardi]

sure.

[Bobby Belt]

So they had suggested as a trade as Dallas moves out of 20, and that they would also give up 152 in the fifth, 218 and the seventh, and then they get back 29 at the end of the first from the Chiefs, 74 in the third, 148 in the fifth, and 176 in the fifth. And that math works. Basically. Basically, the crux of it is you pick up an extra fifth and a third.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Okay.

[Bobby Belt]

In exchange for going back 20 to

[Kyle Yeomans]

29, which one are you more interested in? Tommy, I'll let you kind of weigh in here.

[Tommy Yarish]

I want as many picks as possible. I would take the Chiefs off.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Wow. Okay. Vouch. Are you interested in either one of those, or is there anybody that you would like to. Anybody that you would like to pick here?

[Vach Lombardi]

Man. I'll take Allen right here. Terrell right here. Are we not talking about woods enough? Peter woods, tackle from Clemson. Are we not talking about him, like, falling at this point?

[Tommy Yarish]

That might be the guy that Houston's

[Kyle Yeomans]

trying to trade up to get. Yeah.

[Vach Lombardi]

Okay, then. And Bobby asked me earlier about the tight end, Kenyon Sadiq.

[Bobby Belt]

Yeah.

[Vach Lombardi]

I said no, but, like, where y' all at with that? Like, if. If he gets to this point, if he gets to.

[Bobby Belt]

If he's still sitting there at 29.

[Vach Lombardi]

Yeah.

[Bobby Belt]

Or 28. If we move back, then maybe I could talk about it, especially if I've picked up extra day two capital.

[Nick Harris]

Yeah, that is a good point you made earlier. If you are going to take an offensive position or a position you maybe shouldn't take, then you need to be getting extra capital somewhere so that you can still select the players that you need at the end of the day.

[Kyle Yeomans]

So this could be that conversation of, hey, there's nobody really here that's going to revamp the defense entirely. I would argue for C.J. allen here myself, however, I would.

[Bobby Belt]

I don't know that they.

[Kyle Yeomans]

I don't know if they would either. And that's. That's kind of the exercise that we have here, I think.

[Bobby Belt]

I think the names that are in play, if they're going to stand in a pick would be Avion, terrell, maybe Emmanuel McNeil, Warren. And then you could be looking, like you mentioned Peter Woods. Like, maybe they do go, all right, let's get T.J. parker, Peter Woods.

[Nick Harris]

Let's.

[Bobby Belt]

I mean, Keldrick Falk is still there.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Yeah.

[Tommy Yarish]

I got no problem sticking and picking CJ Allen from Georgia here.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Yeah. But kind of like what we talked about earlier, we're trying to guess what the Cowboys would do and right now there's a lot of murmurs that maybe he isn't. Is that a possibility of a smokescreen or is that.

[Bobby Belt]

I don't, I don't believe they would take Allen at 20, wide receiver at 20.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Which one? They're all three gone. Tyson women.

[Vach Lombardi]

Yeah. We in the second round grades anyway. Cooper. So Mark Cooper, maybe you know, Bernard,

[Bobby Belt]

I'm taking one of the trades. Just give me one of the trades and I'll figure it out.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Because we traded back in the first one trade.

[Vach Lombardi]

All these people, trade them all. Let's have 30 fifth round picks. Let's just stack them all up.

[Bobby Belt]

Do you think the guy at 20 to 29 is going to be that much different? It won't be, but I understand not wanting to bail out of 12 a little more.

[Nick Harris]

But 20 to 29, no team has traded in the first round more than the Dallas Cowboys.

[Vach Lombardi]

Me personally, I just don't feel like teams just going to be just lining up to just give us the picks. I just love to just be miserable and be like, eff it, I'll take this guy. If it happens in real life, we all throwing a party. If we can get five day two picks or something like that, we're going

[Kyle Yeomans]

to have some fun.

[Vach Lombardi]

Of course I'm happy we throwing a party up in here.

[Bobby Belt]

Yeah. I mean that math on those two trades, those math. That math's pretty close. So it's not like, it's not like highway robbery if you pick that up.

[Vach Lombardi]

Sure. I'm just, you know, I'm just being, I'm giving you a hard time about the by the trade stuff. I, I'll take Terrell right here.

[Kyle Yeomans]

I think we're, we've established pretty well here that trading back twice is a possibility.

[Bobby Belt]

Yep.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Since we traded back first, just for the sake of this exercise, we're going to stick and pick at 20.

[Bobby Belt]

I'm taking Terrell then.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Okay.

[Bobby Belt]

It's AV. I'm saying Avion Terrell. If we're standing and picking.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Okay. Who would your selection be?

[Vach Lombardi]

Devil's advocate. Does he start if he gets here? Like does he play over anybody Aviance.

[Bobby Belt]

I mean if Jalen Thompson is going to play some nickel, it's starting to get crowded and I think it says something about guys you have here.

[Vach Lombardi]

How Christian.

[Bobby Belt]

Because it would be bland. Durant revel yeah. Thompson and then a pick that like would all be taking some. And then that's before you figure out do they have any plans for Ready Stewart or Caitlin Carson?

[Kyle Yeomans]

Well, remember, Durant didn't play a ton

[Bobby Belt]

of nickel, not last year. But he has played. He has played the same amount of nickel snaps as bland.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Interesting.

[Bobby Belt]

Okay. Over the course of their career, they've played in the slot the same percentage was about 30% of their career snaps. Sure.

[Vach Lombardi]

When you hear the Cowboys talk about, talk about nickel guy, are they describing Magneal, Warren more than they're describing a guy like Terrell?

[Bobby Belt]

You're asking me or Tommy? I'm just asking if you're asking me. No, they're not describing Neil Warren.

[Tommy Yarish]

I don't think that's what they're looking for there. I'm picking Anthony Hill Jr. From Texas here.

[Vach Lombardi]

Wow.

[Tommy Yarish]

Yeah.

[Bobby Belt]

At 20 right here saying Avion Terrell.

[Kyle Yeomans]

I'll tell you, I'll go with you guys because I like Terrell.

[Bobby Belt]

I'll go to say Terrell.

[Nick Harris]

Are we sticking and picking here?

[Kyle Yeomans]

Yes, we're sticking to picking. Yeah. Just for the sake of the exercise. So it's not confusing the listeners. We'll stick and pick with Terrell. Steelers are on the clock with Voch at 21.

[Vach Lombardi]

Man, they probably go quarterback, but I wouldn't advise them. I mean, I wouldn't tell them do that. They go like, probably like wide receiver or something. So Casey Concepcion, he's my top receiver. So give the Pittsburgh Steelers KC Concepcion.

[Kyle Yeomans]

That would be the sign of a new age in Pittsburgh. Get the small fast guy instead of the big outside wide receiver.

[Vach Lombardi]

They don't. They don't receive no matter what they do. Dog. Go ahead and. Go ahead and rock it.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Cool with that. That sounds fun.

[Vach Lombardi]

Wide receiver. A and M, by the way.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Yeah. Bobby, with the others, a look at Casey Concepcion. They're doing a good job of following in the back, trying to keep up with our conversation. So at least give them one highlight of Casey's Concepcion where I'm going to talk over it for a second.

[Bobby Belt]

I mean, the Chargers really need interior offensive line. I don't know if that's makes sense for them totally here given what's on the board. So they also need defensive tackle. And I think the NFL does like Peter woods and Caleb Banks more than maybe we've talked about. I'm going to throw it in and say it's Woods. Then we say Peter woods to the Chargers.

[Kyle Yeomans]

They probably feel happy about that, right?

[Bobby Belt]

Yeah.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Like they're probably pretty pumped there Eagles on the clock at pick number 23. As we kind of fly through these last few. They tried to trade up earlier and they were probably trying to trade up for what, Nick? Maybe one of those tackles initially.

[Nick Harris]

Yeah, it could be a tackle or a receiver. Is this my pick right here?

[Kyle Yeomans]

This is. It's mine. But I'm just. You were talking about it earlier.

[Nick Harris]

Yeah. Tackle, receiver.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Yeah.

[Nick Harris]

Edge, safety.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Could they go Caleb Lomu here, the opposite Utah offensive tackle, because there's no Freeling. There's no more Fano. There's no more.

[Bobby Belt]

Of course, I think they could go.

[Nick Harris]

Blake Miller. Blake Miller out of Clemson, I think is one that we haven't talked about enough on this show as a first.

[Vach Lombardi]

Proctor went. Kaden Proctor.

[Nick Harris]

Proctor hasn't gone.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Proctor hasn't. You could maybe go there.

[Nick Harris]

It would also just be a complete. Howie Roseman picked to look at the guy that's slipping. And take Kenyan Sadiq.

[Vach Lombardi]

Yeah, for sure.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Tight ends, kind of a sneaky need for them to just resign.

[Tommy Yarish]

Dallas Goddard, though.

[Keith Davis]

Yeah, but.

[Nick Harris]

Yeah, but you're probably giving up AJ Brown and you need a receiving threat and that's a guy that can split

[Bobby Belt]

out in the Y. I'll just throwing it out there.

[Nick Harris]

Yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Belt]

You need weapons for the next quarterback.

[Kyle Yeomans]

You know what? That's. I. I think you're right. I think that could be a Howie Roseman pick.

[Bobby Belt]

Yeah, I think that that reasonable selection

[Kyle Yeomans]

there, Kenyan Sadiq is going to go to the Philadelphia Eagles, which I think

[Bobby Belt]

most of the NFL would say that's pretty good value.

[Tommy Yarish]

Yeah, I think that. I don't know. I think the Howie Rosen pick there would maybe be. That's the pick. I'm not trying to change it, but

[Kyle Yeomans]

Keltrick folk, maybe, or C.J.

[Nick Harris]

allen.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Yeah. C.J. yeah, that could be.

[Bobby Belt]

They do love Georgia. Georgia players, questions.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Nick, you're on the board. With the Jags at 24.

[Nick Harris]

It's the Browns, correct. Formerly the Jags pick.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Is it? I may have just written it down wrong.

[Bobby Belt]

No, you're good.

[Nick Harris]

Yeah.

[Bobby Belt]

Number 24 overall.

[Nick Harris]

Let's see. The Browns with their first pick, took Monroe Freeling at tackle. They need a receiver here. Makes way too much sense.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Omar Cooper, good value to there, I think. All right, Tommy with the Bears at 25.

[Tommy Yarish]

Kaden McDonald, defensive tackle, Ohio State.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Wow. Why. Why so confident on that one?

[Tommy Yarish]

I think they. They have been in search for a defensive tackle for a really long time, and Edge is another one for them. So maybe Falk would make sense there, but they need more of a pass rushing threat. At edge. So I think, you know, they. They could use a big run stuffer there in the middle. I'm a big. I think I might be higher than most on McDonald from Hosta. I think he's a really good player. He's at the top of the second round for me.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Here you go.

[Bobby Belt]

I love a breakdown of the Bears, man.

[Vach Lombardi]

30th overall player. He's nice.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Going to Voch at 26 with the Bills.

[Vach Lombardi]

I know I said this earlier and I totally forgot about it. Just like fussing with y'.

[Kyle Yeomans]

All.

[Vach Lombardi]

There hasn't been enough nonsense in this draft.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Yeah.

[Vach Lombardi]

And every year is always some nonsense. You know what I'm saying? So I wrote down, like, D line for them. Let's go. Gabe Yakis from Illinois for the Bills.

[Nick Harris]

I like him.

[Vach Lombardi]

I like him a lot. Not right here, though, but you know. Gabe Yakus, Illinois.

[Kyle Yeomans]

What position?

[Vach Lombardi]

Defensive and pass rush.

[Kyle Yeomans]

There you go.

[Nick Harris]

Bobby Malachi, Lawrence.

[Vach Lombardi]

Nonsense gonna happen.

[Nick Harris]

Okay, I see what you're saying.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Keljk Fall.

[Vach Lombardi]

I got a. I got a three on Yakis.

[Nick Harris]

I see what you're saying.

[Vach Lombardi]

Cole Strange went in the first round a couple years ago.

[Kyle Yeomans]

That's true. Yeah.

[Bobby Belt]

I was. I was talking to some people yesterday, and they were talking a lot about Edge here for the Miners. Yeah, I don't know that it's. It broke out this way, so I see it, but I mean, I don't know that it's actually going to go this way that he's still on the board. By this point, I'm going to say Zion Young at Dresher, Missouri.

[Vach Lombardi]

Like the league been talking.

[Bobby Belt]

I think. I think people. I think the league has liked Zion Young more than. We've talked about

[Vach Lombardi]

something else.

[Bobby Belt]

I mean, they did. And they did just pick Michael Williams. So, I mean, if they. They like the prototype, maybe they look at Falk and say they like him, but I'm gonna say Zion Young just feels like he shouldn't be here at this point. So I'm gonna say Zion Young.

[Vach Lombardi]

I feel you.

[Kyle Yeomans]

The Texans are on the clock at 28. They were trying to trade up and go get defensive tackle help. They weren't able to do so. So I have that pick and I'm looking kind of where else they could go. Chris Miller.

[Nick Harris]

There is a defensive tackle still on the board.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Who's that?

[Nick Harris]

Kayla Banks.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Kayla Banks is there.

[Vach Lombardi]

I'm not as high on Banks.

[Kyle Yeomans]

I'm not either, but I could see the league being high on him.

[Vach Lombardi]

I like Lee Hunter, and I have

[Kyle Yeomans]

Hunter as my next graded Bayla Banks

[Bobby Belt]

is on the all looks like a football player team for this draft.

[Tommy Yarish]

Well, with the passwords they've got, he might look like a really good football player there.

[Kyle Yeomans]

What does their offensive tackle situation look like? Is it pretty rough?

[Nick Harris]

I need interior.

[Kyle Yeomans]

I was about to say they don't

[Vach Lombardi]

go as in there.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Maybe this is a spot for Proctor.

[Nick Harris]

Proctor, if you want to play in the guard.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Yeah, that's kind of what I'm thinking in terms of that one. It's either that between him or Lee Hunter. In my opinion. I think it's more likely they go for Proctor in that spot.

[Vach Lombardi]

I hate it. It's 11:59, so I ain't going to fight you.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Why do you hate it?

[Vach Lombardi]

I just don't like Proctor. God. I think he's.

[Kyle Yeomans]

He's a tackle.

[Vach Lombardi]

He's too tall. I think he's probably just. Probably better. But he is a Mauler though. I can see it. But yeah, I like him at.

[Kyle Yeomans]

I'll take Kaden Proctor there. Chiefs at 29.

[Nick Harris]

Nick Chiefs at 29 with their first pick. They took Monsoon Delane. Looking here. They need edge. So you're down to Keldrick. Fall cash is how TJ Parker. I think Falk makes sense in their. Their mind.

[Kyle Yeomans]

He's going to end up being a superstar in Kansas City. That'll be.

[Nick Harris]

It's not a bad little haul for them.

[Kyle Yeomans]

No. Tommy on the clock with the dolphins at 30.

[Tommy Yarish]

Dolphins need just about everything.

[Bobby Belt]

They took Bane while you were.

[Nick Harris]

They did not get their receiver, Ruben Bane.

[Tommy Yarish]

Okay. I think corners another need for them. I've been super high on this guy throughout the whole process. I think he can work there with a new staff and a new regime. Give me Brandon C. Say from South Carolina.

[Kyle Yeomans]

There you go.

[Bobby Belt]

I don't think that's impossible that they don't go receiver in the first round. Like I think. I think it makes sense that they should, but I don't think it. There's been chatter coming out of there that Miami thinks like we can get a receiver anytime the first two days because it's so deep.

[Vach Lombardi]

They got so many.

[Nick Harris]

They might really have Jalen Tolbert as

[Kyle Yeomans]

wide receiver by the end of the day. Botch with The Patriots at 31, man.

[Vach Lombardi]

C.J. on the board, huh?

[Kyle Yeomans]

He's still on the board, man.

[Vach Lombardi]

Go watch CJ Alibi be all pro. The Patriots or something.

[Nick Harris]

Go for able. That'd be awesome.

[Vach Lombardi]

Go CJ Island.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Man, that sucks. That's. That's a good player falling.

[Vach Lombardi]

Should have took him at 20.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Yeah.

[Vach Lombardi]

Or whichever one of them picks we

[Kyle Yeomans]

got, I'm there with you, Bobby. With the Seahawks at 32, man, there's not.

[Bobby Belt]

So they, they could still use some secondary stuff.

[Vach Lombardi]

Seahawks go running back right here because that what they do.

[Bobby Belt]

Yes, they do. But there's not a running back that just is necessarily like blinking light in the first round. I'm gonna say that this feels like with sort of the way they've drafted in recent years. I think this could be Emmanuel McNeil Warren because I don't think there's like a whole lot of just for what they need. There's not anything just flashing right now but secondary. There's been some talk about maybe some stuff on the defensive line for them. I don't know that like a guy like Howell sounds like a pick they would make. So Emmanuel McNeil Warren feels like probably decent value right here compared to where people have talked about him.

[Nick Harris]

So their safety duo would be Em and Worry and Emmanuel McNear Warren.

[Bobby Belt]

Yep.

[Nick Harris]

A lot of M's, the M safeties.

[Bobby Belt]

Yep.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Got a lot of it put together. I like it. All right, that concludes our first round mock draft. We're going to do all first or, excuse me, second round and third round picks tomorrow. No, I'm just kidding.

[Bobby Belt]

Yeah, we just picked up a bunch of day two picks. You're not going to use them.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Picked up, picked up one. By trading back from 12 to 18, you now have a second round pick which you didn't have initially. The Cowboys end up with keem Mezador at 18 with the trade with the Vikings and the Cowboys at 20. Take Avion Terrell the corner from Clemson at the 20th pick. Couple of guys that you feel like could probably start on your defense, but it was a wipeout scenario in the top 11 picks and that's ultimately what landed you in that spot. But that does it for us here on the draft show. Post the entire first round mock if you want on Twitter by the end of the day. So if you want to follow along, follow along again and rewatch because there's a lot of interacting conversations in this war room for Vox Lombardi, Nick Harris, Bobby Belt, Tommy Yarish, Chris Beam in the back. I'm Kyle Yeoman saying so long from the draft show. We will see you next week. This has been a production of Dallas Cowboys.com and the Dallas Cowboys Football club. How about this Cowboys?

[Bobby Belt]

Sam.
