Vach Lombardi of Crown Global Media joins Shan and RJ on 105.3 The Fan to discuss the 2026 NFL Draft, focusing on the Cowboys' draft strategy and roster needs. Lombardi emphasizes that teams shouldn't compromise on the best player available, even if it means selecting an offensive player at pick 12 when defensive talent is scarce. He critiques the idea of drafting offensive linemen simply because the Cowboys have a strong history in that area, arguing that teams must diversify and improve in all areas, especially defense. He breaks down key prospects like Reuben Bain, Caleb Downs, Sonny Stiles, and Mansoor Delane, highlighting Downs as the most immediately impactful due to his versatility across multiple defensive positions. Lombardi also reflects on the Cowboys' left tackle situation, questioning whether Tyler Guyton’s high floor potential justifies patience over immediate production. The conversation blends humor, draft analysis, and candid takes on team-building philosophy.
Prioritize the best player available at pick 12, even if it’s an offensive player, rather than forcing a defensive pick.
Don’t rely on drafting offensive linemen just because the Cowboys have a strong track record—diversify your draft strategy.
Caleb Downs is the most ready-to-contribute player among the top prospects due to his positional versatility.
High-floor players like Tyler Guyton should be trusted long-term, even if they don’t produce immediately.
Avoid drafting based on team history or comfort—scouting departments must evolve and improve across all positions.

Cowboys' Offensive Line & Draft Philosophy
