| 0:00.0 | This is the Dallas Cowboys.com draft show. |
| 0:07.5 | Your war room for insider news and draft analysis from deep within the confines of Cowboys headquarters at the Star in Frisco. |
| 0:16.7 | Now your hosts, Votch Lombardi, Nick Harris, Bobby Belt, Tommy Yarrish, and Kyle Yeoman. |
| 0:31.5 | Today is Thursday, January 8th, 2026, and we are officially 105 days away from the NFL draft in |
| 0:41.8 | Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Welcome in everybody to the draft show presented by Miller Light. |
| 0:45.9 | Today we're talking defense with Votch Lombardi, Nick Harris, Tommy Yaris, Bobby Belt with Chris |
| 0:50.6 | Beam in the back. I'm Kyle Yeom's. Welcome in, everybody. We were just having |
| 0:55.2 | an off-air conversation, kind of spilled over a little bit into on-air stuff of where we are today |
| 1:01.6 | getting things from a board standpoint, from a scouting report standpoint. It's still hard to |

| 1:58.9 | But the one thing, if Kyle would have went to me, hey, Vaj, what you think about that fifth round cat? |
| 2:03.2 | Nick just talked about. |
| 2:04.0 | I wouldn't have talk about them. I just sit back and let y'all talk. But the one thing, if Kyle would have went to me, |
| 2:01.3 | hey, Vaj, what you think about that fifth round cat, Nick just talked about? |
