FRISCO, Texas — The Dallas Cowboys continued to invest in their defense on Day 3 of the NFL Draft, selecting Florida State cornerback Devin Moore with the No. 114 overall pick.
Moore arrives with a reputation built on speed, physicality, and a confident playing style that fits what Dallas has been building in its secondary. At Florida State, he developed into a reliable defensive back capable of matching up in man coverage while also showing instincts in zone looks.
For a Cowboys team looking to add depth and competition in the defensive backfield, Moore checks key boxes. His ability to close quickly on the ball and stay attached to receivers downfield adds another dimension to a unit that continues to get younger and faster.
Dallas has made it clear throughout this draft cycle that improving team speed on defense is a priority. Moore’s addition reinforces that approach, giving the Cowboys another versatile option in the secondary rotation and on special teams.
With training camp ahead, Moore will have an opportunity to carve out a role in a crowded defensive backs room. If his college traits translate, he could quickly become part of the Cowboys’ defensive packages.
The message from Dallas is consistent — competition is rising, and the secondary is getting deeper.
