WILDCARD: What SURPRISE Pick Could The Dallas Cowboys Make At No. 12?

Could the Dallas Cowboys make a shocking pick at #12—could Sadiq from Oregon or Miami’s Akheem Mesador reshape the 2026 NFL Draft landscape? Marcus Mosher and Landon McCool tackle wild draft scenarios, debating the upside of unexpected picks and how past surprises like Tyler Booker impact current strategy. Will the Cowboys risk reaching for CJ Allen or Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, or could a defensive lineman like Kayden McDonald stun fans?  Key topics include the Cowboys’ approach to doubling up on pass rushers versus safeties, the challenge of balancing need and value, and the ripple effect of offensive linemen rising in the top-11 picks. The hosts question whether more offensive weapons will be selected early, affecting Dallas’ shot at blue-chip defenders like Mansoor Delane or Caleb Downs.  Listener questions shape a must-hear analysis of potential trade-ups, resource allocation, and the importance of Arizona’s pick at #3 for the Cowboys’ draft fate.
