Cowboys Draft: Offense Meets Defense

On April 25, Dallas Cowboys just locked in their 3-4th round picks in the 2026 NFL draft,

going offense first, then doubling down, on defense.

At 112th overall, they grabbed offensive tackle Drew Shelton from Penn State, their initial

offensive addition.

Two picks later at 1-014th, cornerback Devon Moore from Florida slid in, and they closed

at 137th with defensive.

Lyman LT Overton from Alabama Shelton's a massive 6-foot-5, 313 pounds with experience

protecting the passer, perfect for swing tackle duties right away.

Moore brings corner value despite some nagging injuries, potentially starting opposite Caleb

Downs if he stays healthy.

Overton offers raw athleticism and versatility up front, though he'll need summer work to

stick.

Analysts are hyped on these selections, especially after the Cowboys traded a 5th rounder for 49ers

linebacker D-Winter's, filling key gaps.

Smartly, it matches their defensive focus from days 1 and 2, building depth in the trenches

and secondary without overreaching.

The full-class Leanne's heavy defense, safety Caleb Downs from Ohio State after trading

up to 11th, edge-rusher Malachai Lawrence from Central.

Florida and Michigan's Jai Shan Barham as a versatile linebacker who can slide to edge.

Shelton's the lone offense so far, balancing the roster.

Cowboys stacking talent that fits their scheme, setting up a gritty unit ready to compete,

watch these rookies elevate America's team come training.
