Descripción

Episode 163: Voch Lombardi and Bryan Broaddus are joined by Senior Bowl Executive Director Drew Fabianich for an inside look at scouting, player development, and the NFL Draft process from one of football’s top evaluators. The guys kick things off breaking down Caleb Downs and whether his versatility and football IQ make him one of the safest defensive prospects in years. Drew also compares Downs’ traits to a young Jalen Ramsey and explains why elite versatility matters more than ever in today’s NFL. The conversation dives deep into scouting philosophy as Drew shares stories about evaluating stars like Aaron Donald, Dak Prescott, and CeeDee Lamb. How much do age, size, and production really matter? Can players who underachieve early in their careers still unlock their full potential in the NFL? Bryan and Drew also reveal their biggest scouting blind spots and explain why training staffs often provide the most trustworthy intel on prospects. Plus, Drew gives eye-opening stories from college visits, explains how Senior Bowl invitations are decided, and reveals why he once refused to draft players from Michigan State. The episode wraps up with behind-the-scenes insight into the Cowboys nearly drafting Johnny Manziel and what really went into that chaotic decision-making process.

OTA Winners & Losers: Which Cowboys Are Turning Heads? | The Stack

Episode 32: The Cowboys wrapped up another round of OTAs and minicamp practices, but the biggest conversation starts with a blockbuster move elsewhere in the NFL. Bryan Broaddus and Zach Wolchuk discuss why the Rams' aggressive acquisition of Myles Garrett further separates them from the rest of the NFC and why Dallas still seems one move away from truly competing with the league's elite. The guys revisit their recent conversation with Cowboys National Scout Ross Wuensche and break down what his insights revealed about Dallas' scouting philosophy, draft process, and confidence in several young players. Is the Cowboys' running back room better than fans think? Could Jaydon Blue become the explosive weapon this offense needs? And are Dallas' young linebackers and corners beginning to answer some major roster questions? Bryan also shares observations from minicamp, including which players stood out, who is running with the first team, and why the cornerback room may be quietly stronger than expected. Plus, the duo debates whether the Cowboys should still pursue veteran help before training camp and identifies the one position that remains a glaring concern heading into Oxnard.

Inside the Cowboys Draft Room with National Scout Ross Wuensche | Doin’ Alright

Dallas Cowboys National Scout Ross Wuensche joins Bryan Broaddus and Voch Lombardi for an in-depth conversation on how the Cowboys identify, evaluate, and build their draft board from the ground up. Wuensche, who has spent over a decade in the Cowboys Personnel Department and now serves as a National Scout, pulls back the curtain on the scouting process, draft room debates, player evaluations, and what goes into building an NFL roster. Ross shares insight into the Cowboys' aggressive move for Caleb Downs, the excitement surrounding Malachi Lawrence, the impact of Christian Parker's defensive vision, and how Dallas evaluates everything from football character and competitiveness to scheme fit and positional value. The conversation also explores the evolution of the linebacker room, why Marist Liufau could thrive in the new defense, the importance of collaboration between scouts and coaches, and what really happens behind closed doors during draft season. If you've ever wanted a look inside an NFL scouting department, this is one of the most informative conversations we've had on Doin' Alright. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Are Elite Edge Rushers OVERRATED?! + Why Do They Keep Getting Traded? | Doin’ Alright

Episode 171:  Voch Lombardi and Bryan Broaddus dive into one of the biggest trends shaping today's NFL: why teams are suddenly willing to move elite edge rushers. From Maxx Crosby and Trey Hendrickson to Myles Garrett and Micah Parsons, the guys examine the rising cost of premier pass rushers, the influx of young talent entering the draft, and whether dominant interior defensive linemen have become more valuable than edge defenders. The conversation expands into how teams like the Rams continue to stay competitive without relying heavily on first-round picks, why the Cowboys' success may depend more on hitting on Day 2 draft selections than blockbuster moves, and which young Cowboys players are primed for a Year 2 leap. Plus, Bryan shares a heartfelt story about his father's recent hospital visit and the incredible support from listeners who work behind the scenes in everyday life.   Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
