Cowboys Snag 3 Talented Picks in 4th Round

0:00On April 25th, the Dallas Cowboys kept the momentum rolling on day 3 of the 2026 NFL draft, snagging three solid picks in the fourth round to build depth on both sides of the ball. They grabbed offensive tackle Drew Shelton from Penn State, a six-foot-five, 313-pound beast they rated as a third-round talent. Then came Cornerback Devon Moore from Florida at six-foot-three, 198 pounds, and defensive Lyman LT Overton from Alabama, six-foot-three, 274 pounds. Smart moves to add immediate competition and long-term pieces without giving up premium spots. Shelton stands out as a natural athlete with smooth hips and elite lateral quickness, perfect for protecting the left tackle spot where Tyler Gaiton needs backup. The Cowboys jumped early to get him, eyeing his potential to compete right away in training camp alongside Nate Thomas. He's got that multi-sport background that translates to balance in open field wins, though he'll work on bulking up against bull rushes this summer. Under the coaching

He's physical and press main coverage, a run defender with a tackle misrate under 8% and enough speed to stick deep. Sure, early college injuries were a hiccup, but he stayed healthy last season and shown at the senior bowl, earning third-round grades from the Dallas. Scoutsers see him pairing well with Shamar James. Overton fills a gap left by trading Osa, Oda Gizua, offering that lighter, quicker edge rusher vibe in a four-eye alignment. After transferring to Alabama, he exploded with nine tackles for loss, six stacks, and 39 pressures in 2024 alone. His non-stop motor screams value, especially as a projected late-second rounder they stole here, and the staff will refine his hand technique to unlock. Even more pass-rest juice. These picks show the Cowboys playing chess, stacking talent that can contribute now while betting on upside for the future. Paying dividends come training camp.
