Cowboys Snag 3 Talented Picks in 4th Round

On 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

staff, Moore brings that big corner profile from the SEC where he battled pro-level

receivers weekly. 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.
