AI-Generated Summary

In this final episode of the Shan and RJ podcast before the 2026 NFL Draft, Bobby Belt shares his comprehensive mock draft for the Dallas Cowboys, revealing his projected selections across all rounds. He opens with a strong first-round pick at No. 12: Mansoor Delane, a cornerback from LSU, despite the positional value debate around selecting a cornerback over linebacker Sonny Stiles. Bobby acknowledges the polarizing nature of Delane’s 'boring' but technically sound style, contrasting him with more electric players like Tyson and Bain. He projects Keldrick Falk at No. 20, with a conditional pick on Colton Hood if Stiles is gone. The draft continues with Romello Height (Texas Tech) in the third round, seen as a high-confidence pick, followed by linebacker Caleb Alarmsor in the fourth. Brian Parker (Duke) at No. 152 is praised as a versatile, boring-in-a-good-way interior lineman. Later picks include safety Bishop Fitzgerald (USC), speedster Malik Benson (Oregon), and middle linebacker Aiden Fisher (Indiana), highlighting the Cowboys’ need for depth at linebacker and the potential for trade activity. The episode ends with a look at Peter Schrager’s mock draft, which features a trade-up for Delane and a surprising fall of Caleb Downs, sparking debate about draft dynamics and team strategy.

He's homesick. They've been like $3.5 million. He hasn't gone to practice, skipped for the spring game, and he's like, I'm just homesick.
