Cowboys StoryLine: The Next Darren Woodson?

Who better to talk to about drafting "the next Darren Woodson " than Mr. Woodson himself? The former Cowboys great called in to discuss the recent drafting of safety Caleb Downs and reacted to the instant comparisons between the two.

On the final pre-draft show, we go through a list of scenarios that might make sense for the Cowboys, which includes trading up and down and staying put and even getting on the phone for a possible trade!

As we get nearly a week from the NFL Draft, three viable options seem clear and everyone has an opinion on if the Cowboys should move up from 12, trade back and add draft capital or stand there and make the pick.

We announced this year's All-StoryLine Squad with a new captain in the mix as shout out the callers who truly keep the show going.

After having one of the worst defenses statistically in team history, should the Cowboys change their overall draft mindset to Best 'Defensive' Player Available instead of the regular BPA?

As lucrative as the 12th overall pick seems to be, the Cowboys could miss out on some of the elite defensive players. So what happens then? Trade back, take BPA and would you consider offense at that point?

While March is know for other things in sports right now, free agency hasn't ended just yet although draft talk is starting to dominate the discussion! Would they think about offense at 12?

The first week of free agency was unusually busy for the Cowboys but will it stay quiet here in Week 2?

With the shocking news out of Vegas and Baltimore, should the Cowboys pick up the phone again and try to get back in the game for an edge rusher? And whats the plan at linebacker?

On the final show before the start of free agency, the fans have their fingers crossed that the Cowboys will indeed be more aggressive this year, getting much needed help on all three levels of the defense.

There's no mistake that Cowbohs fans want Brandon Aubrey to remain the kicker in Dallas, but with the recent news of his contract negotiations coming out, there is some hesitation about paying him considerably over market value.

The Cowboys haven't given the franchise tag to George Pickens yet but it's likely gonna happen. But will there be any tension between the two sides as the negotiations continue?

It's safe to say the word "pick" will be used the most this offseason, whether it's referring to the NFL's top free-agent in George Pickens or the two draft picks the Cowboys have in the first round.

What the Cowboys have done so far with the new coaches is resonating with the fans, who now hope the "fresh start" mentality will carry over to free agency next month.

Only time will tell if new defensive coordinator Christian Parker is a home-run hire, but for now the fans seem to love the new hire.

As the Cowboys search for a new defensive coordinator, should there be any concern with the process? Would you rather see a hire now or let the process play out and get the best fit?

Today's show took a focus on the upcoming tasks such as free agency and draft but could there be even more trades on the way for the 2026 season?

The big stories of the offseason include George Pickens and these two first-round picks. Somehow, the fans want the Cowboys to figure out how to keep the picks and Pickens, too.

We knew the Cowboys would likely make changes but this fast? The speed in which they made the DC switch has the fans optimistic this year could have a different overall approach.

The 2025 season has now officially ended but there wasn't much discussion on the final game as the focus has already shifted to the draft, free agency and expected coaching changes.

A final resolution on the Trevon Diggs situation occurred as the Cowboys cut ties with the veteran CB. The callers weighed in on that situation and gave their opinions on whether Dak should play this final game.

How many holes do the Cowboys really need to fix? One of the topics on today's show revolved around problem areas and how many positions need to be fully upgraded in 2026.

Even with one game to play, the focus is already on the 2026 season in the contracts that need to be paid. Do the Cowboys sign Pickens, Javonte or both and maybe neither and focus all on defense.

This is the season of giving and the time when we focus on presents. But it appears there is way more talk about the future than the actual present as we did our final show before Christmas.

This season has shown us all they need to get more great players and there's no better place to do that than the first round. The fans agree the Cowboys need to make sure and keep those first-rounders and put less focus on the second round and beyond.
