Cowboys Draft 3 High-Upside Players in 4th Round

0:00On April 25, Dallas Cowboys came out swinging in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL draft, grabbing three high upside players to boost, both sides of the ball. They took offensive tackle Drew Shelton from Penn State at Pick 112, cornerback Devon Moore from Florida at 114, and Ed rusher LT Overton from Alabama at 137. These moves target depth at key spots, with the team still eyeing a seven-ground selection at 2018. Here this week, the Cowboys eyed competition of front after some shaky play from their current tackles, and Shelton's athleticism fits there. Pulling block scheme perfectly. Moore brings rare size at 6 feet 3 inches, despite injury setbacks that dropped him from day 2 projections. Overton adds versatility as a tweener on the D-line, tough against the run in the SEC. Fans and scouts are buzzing with mostly positive vibes, handing out B-grades across the board, a B- for Moore and Overton.

1:00Shelton stood out by allowing just one sack amid Penn State's struggles, while Moore's elite grades and coverage and run defense make him. Scheme specific but reliable. Overton's bull rush shows promise, though he needs pass rush polish. Projection sees Shelton as an eventual starter, maybe easing in at guard first, and Overton following suit with some tweaks to his game. Shelton's got boom or bust potential as a day 1 contributor, but likely a depth piece long term. All three are young, 21 or 22 with their best football ahead. These picks give Dallas fresh competition and grit heading into camp, setting up an intriguing offseason plush.
