Did the Cowboys make the right choice in the first round? Was it smart to focus so heavily on defense? And what did Will McClay mean when he said, "It's all about space"? The boys are back to discuss all things draft!

Draft day, that is. Which of those cornerbacks should the Cowboys select? Is there anyone else on their radar? Could a trade happen? Plus, Nate and Jesse remember what draft day was like for them as veterans ("They drafted who?!")

It's a reunion as the boys are all back together again in studio. Should the team look at a tackle with the 10th pick? What if a linebacker is highest on their board? Any concerns if a player sat out 2020? Plus, about those rule changes…

That's the only question that needs to be asked in the Dak negotiations. What color pen is he using? The boys dig deeper into the different scenarios surrounding the franchise tag. Plus, could the lower salary cap benefit the team this year in free agency?

With the salary cap numbers coming out, the boys are wondering just how the Cowboys are going to pay Dak and still have enough money to fix the defense. It may be cold outside, but there's some heated debate going on in here.
