""Way better," Schottenheimer said of 2026 draft prep. "I know most of the names. Probably if you said to me the top 150 names or so on our board, I know the names, but I've probably seen at least a game or two on most of them, certainly probably the top 75.""
"This year, Schottenheimer went to the pro days at Miami, Texas and Texas A&M, going to group dinners in the cities with the prospects. He has hosted visitors -- national and local during the Cowboys' Dallas Day workouts -- in his office at The Star."
"For the pro days, he had a rule that he had to see at least one full game of each player on tape. When he was in Lubbock, Texas, for the Red Raiders' workout, he knew everything about the five to seven prospects Dallas sees as high-value players."
The Dallas Cowboys have commenced their full draft meetings, involving key personnel including owner Jerry Jones and head coach Brian Schottenheimer. Schottenheimer, now in his second year, feels more prepared compared to last year, having familiarized himself with many prospects. He attended pro days at various universities and implemented a rule to watch at least one full game of each player. This preparation has allowed him to identify high-value players effectively.
