The Dallas Cowboys’ third round selection is being considered a massive steal in one 2025 NFL Draft grade explanation.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Dallas Cowboys\u00a0went with\u00a0a big defense selection\u00a0with the No. 77 pick of the\u00a02025 NFL Draft. The team selected cornerback Shavon Revel.<\/p>\n

Revel spent three seasons with East Carolina. However, his 2024 season was cut short due to injury, with Revel only appearing in three games.<\/p>\n

However, even with the injury, some are calling the selection from the Cowboys a massive steal.\u00a0SB Nation’s draft grades\u00a0have the Cowboys earning an A with this selection.<\/p>\n

“Another corner who has an injury issue, but if he\u2019s cleared he can be a massive steal. Revel is long and physical at the line of scrimmage, and when healthy he can turn interceptions into touchdowns. This feels like a pick the Cowboys would make, taking a swing on a prospect with an injury. I think Revel can be really good if healthy, so I\u2019m excited for this,” wrote Joseph Acosta.<\/p>\n

When healthy, the Cowboys’ defense is one of the better defensive units in the NFL. However, Revel will also be bringing his own history when he lands in Dallas.<\/p>\n

But it does appear the team is adding another freak athlete to a defense that should be able to swarm offenses all game long.<\/p>\n

In his junior season with East Carolina, Revel was a physical force with 54 tackles from the cornerback position. Expect the Cowboys’ secondary to stay physical.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
