The Dallas Cowboys selected Florida cornerback Devin Moore with the 114th overall pick in the 2026 NFL draft, choosing a talented but injury-prone player who stood out for his size and ball skills. Despite only one full college season due to injuries, Moore’s scouting profile highlights his length (6-3, 198 pounds) and solid production as a primary defender, including strong SEC statistics: a 19.8 QBR allowed as a primary defender since 2023 (fifth-lowest in the SEC with at least 45 attempts) and an 38% completion rate against him in 2025 (8 of 21).
Key takeaways:
– High-ceiling athletic profile: tall, athletic corner with impressive length and ball skills.
– Injury history: limited college play and notable injuries raise long-term durability questions.
– SEC performance indicators: favorable metrics suggest potential as a boundary corner who can contest passes.
This move signals the Cowboys’ willingness to invest in upside at the cornerback position while weighing Moore’s durability concerns, with evaluators noting his size and ball skills as assets despite his injury history.
