The Dallas Cowboys are at a crossroads… but the 2026 NFL Draft could be the moment that changes EVERYTHING.

On this episode of the Kris Kretschman Show, we break down exactly how the Cowboys can improve through the draft and what direction they NEED to take if they want to compete at a high level next season. From roster gaps to potential impact players, this is the blueprint for Dallas getting back into serious contention.

We also dive into one of the biggest debates in Cowboys Nation right now — should Dallas draft CJ Allen at pick 20? Is he the right fit, or would that be a reach the Cowboys regret?

And finally… the culture shift 👀
Has Brian Schottenheimer already started changing the identity of this team? We talk about the mindset, the leadership, and whether this feels like a NEW era in Dallas.

If you’re a Cowboys fan trying to figure out where this team is headed… this is the episode you need.
