Cowboys 2023 Mock Draft for Rounds 4-7 plus UDFA signings
It ain’t over until it’s over. NFL front offices are judged by how well they do with premium picks across the first three rounds, but legends are made by how well a team can scout for Day 3 additions. The Dallas Cowboys have been represented well in both categories over the last several years, including being able to sign outstanding talent in the period following the final pick.
Day 3 and UDFA additions are the name of the game in this final mock draft exercise of 2023. The team has already addressed defensive tackle, tight end and linebacker-slash-edge-rusher. Now it’s time to go hunting for diamonds in the rough at cornerback, running back, offensive line and wide receiver. Will Dallas hit on all of those roles with their remaining picks and undrafted free agency savvy?
4th Round Picks 103 through 128
4.129: Purdue CB Corey Trice, Jr.

Trice is a sneaky pick, meeting all of the physical attributes Dan Quinn loves in his secondary players. With a need for a long-term solution opposite Trevon Diggs who allows DaRon Bland to stay in the slot, Trice would get a year to study under Stephon Gilmore before assuming a starting role.
His pro comp is fairly obvious.
