One of the highest-rated prospects at cornerback coming out of high school, Moore showed plenty at Florida and enough at this year’s Senior Bowl that, like offensive tackle Drew Shelton a couple of picks prior, was assigned a third-round grade by the Cowboys. That’s telling of just how impressed Christian Parker and his staff (read: Derrick Ansley and Ryan Smith) are with the former Gator. This pick isn’t without risk, seeing as Moore combatted injuries early in his collegiate career, but he was fully healthy last season and it all came together as a result in 2025.<\/p>\n
At 6-foot-3, 198 lbs., he’s perfectly setup to be a starting boundary corner at the NFL level, and he comes from the SEC, where he faced NFL-caliber receivers on a weekly basis. Moore craves physicality, making him excellent as a press man corner and also gives him the honor of being one of the best run-defending cornerbacks in the country. It’s also key to note he’s missed fewer than eight percent of his tackles at Florida and, in coverage, he has enough speed to carry receivers downfield plus the length to disrupt at the point of attack \u2014 often frustrating receivers in reps.<\/p>\n
Once he learns to stay low more consistently in his backpedal, something that can help resolve the lack of game-changing closing speed out of his breaks, he could be hell to deal with for an offense as he reunites with Shemar James in Dallas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One of the highest-rated prospects at cornerback coming out of high school, Moore showed plenty at Florida and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":266220,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[102,104,103,99503,1090,49483,6349],"class_list":{"0":"post-266219","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-dallas","8":"tag-dallas","9":"tag-dallas-headlines","10":"tag-dallas-news","11":"tag-devin-moore","12":"tag-news-all-news","13":"tag-news-draft-central-2026","14":"tag-news-patrik-walker"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/266219","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=266219"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/266219\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/266220"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=266219"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=266219"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=266219"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
