With the No. 114 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, the Dallas Cowboys selected Florida cornerback Devin Moore in the fourth round.

This is the fifth pick the Dallas Cowboys have made in the 2026 NFL Draft. Dallas is slated to make two more, with one more selection in the fourth round and one in the seventh.

After going with offense with their initial fourth-round pick, it's back to the defensive side of the ball for the Cowboys, who are adding some much-needed competition for their cornerbacks room.

Here's more on Moore, who stands out for his length and toughness on the boundary.

The Cowboys have two question marks on the boundary in Shavon Revel, who remains unproven, and DaRon Bland, who has struggled with injury and ineffective play in recent years.

Adding Moore gives the Cowboys another option on the outside and makes things a bit more interesting in the cornerbacks room.

At 6-foot-3 and 198 pounds, Moore has great size, length and toughness that makes him a problem for outside wide receivers. His speed isn't elite, but as Lance Zierlein of NFL.com points out, he's great at tracking the football on deep throws.

One concern with Moore is his injury history after he played in five, seven and seven games from 2022-24. He did appear in 11 games last season, though, and has been fairly productive when on the field with five career picks.

In 2025, Moore posted a Pro Football Focus grade of 81.5 in coverage and showed he has the chops to hang in the run game and then some with an 81.8 in that area.
