As expected, the highest draft choices and incumbent starters get the bulk of the attention during this time of the year. But what about the progress thus far of some of the Cowboys'** later draft picks, like Drew Shelton, Devin Moore, LT Overton and Anthony Smith?–*Kevin Wilson/St. Louis, MO*
Patrik:
Tommy: Of the group of players you named, I think LT Overton is standing out the most. He's gotten some work with the first-team defense, and had a tipped pass that led to an interception in the red zone a few practices ago. Shelton has been working with the second team at right tackle, opposite of where he played in college at Penn State. He's also been getting some guard work too. Devin Moore had some good snaps early in camp, but has been nursing a groin injury and has missed a few recently. Anthony Smith had a nice one-handed grab in the joint practice against the Rams that would've led to an explosive play. All in all, the rookies are somewhat involved, but again I'd say Overton
