Hour 1: Cowboys Draft Recap and the Stars-Wild series tied at 2 games each

Shan and RJ dive into the 2026 NFL Draft, focusing on the Dallas Cowboys' strategic moves, particularly their late-round acquisition of veteran linebacker D. Winters from the 49ers. The hosts analyze the draft's most surprising picks, including Arizona's selection of Carson Beck—a quarterback with a poor college record and mental toughness concerns—and Miami's early pick of Caleb Douglas, who was widely expected to fall into the seventh round. They also discuss the Cowboys' failure to land top targets like N'Kobe Dean and Quay Walker, and the implications of their decision to prioritize experience and culture over high-upside prospects. The conversation shifts to the NHL playoffs, where the Dallas Stars are tied 2-2 with the Minnesota Wild in a hard-fought first-round series, with concerns over their lack of five-on-five scoring despite a dominant power play. The Rangers' series loss is dissected, highlighting poor execution with runners in scoring position and concerns about Nate Evaldi’s declining velocity. The episode closes with a preview of upcoming matchups, including a marquee pitching duel between deGrom and Schmittler, and a ticket giveaway for Lee Bryce.
