IRVING, Texas -- The Dallas Cowboys are staying defensive on the final day of the draft, selecting outside linebacker Kyle Wilber from Wake Forest with the 113th overall pick in the fourth round.

Dallas has used each of its first three draft picks on defensive players.

The 6-foot-4, 249-pound Wilber was the first of five picks the Cowboys had Saturday.

Wilber started 36 of his 43 games at Wake Forest, where he had 195 tackles and 13Â½ sacks.

On the first two days of the draft, Dallas used its only picks to get LSU All-American cornerback Morris Claiborne sixth overall and Boise State defensive end Tyrone Crawford 81st overall in the third round.

In last year's draft, the Cowboys used only two of their eight picks on defenders.
