Cowboys Draft Moore for Defense

0:00On April 25, Dallas Cowboys kicked off day three of the draft, with back-to-back picks just two spots apart. They grabbed offensive Lyman Drew Shelton at the 112th spot, then doubled down on defense by snagging Florida cornerback Devon Moore at 114th overall. Cornerback was a big need heading into the draft, but the Cowboys waited patiently before landing Moore, who topped the gators in interceptions during his senior year in 2025. This was his first full healthy season after battling shoulder issues and a concussion that sideline him for chunks of the prior three years. What stands out is Moore's loyalty. He stuck with Florida through all that adversity instead of hitting the transfer portal, matching the Cowboys. Preference for players who stay put and grind. At 6 foot 3 with long arms, he fits as an outside zone defender, and the team sees a meshing with their rebuild. Two defensive coordinator, Christian Parker, shines a developing cornerbacks and nickelbacks, so Moore should thrive under him alongside recent ads, like Shavon, Rebel Jr, and Kobe
