"The Cowboys hold a pair of first-round picks that are looming large as the best opportunity for the Cowboys to improve their defense."
"One position that Eberflus had his fingerprints all over that will especially need retooling is linebacker. Kenneth Murray was one of the faces of the porous Cowboys defense last season."
"Liufau's chance to make up for this in Parker's defense will come with a bit of a position change as well, as the Cowboys will be using him as an outside linebacker in pass rush duties."
"One area that will be a strong indicator of how well the Cowboys defense is playing this scheme will be the Cowboys' improvement in yards per passing attempt against."
The Dallas Cowboys are preparing for the 2026 NFL Draft, holding two first-round picks to enhance their struggling defense. Under new defensive coordinator Christian Parker, the team seeks to address weaknesses, particularly at linebacker after Kenneth Murray's departure. Marist Liufau will transition to outside linebacker, impacting the depth chart. The Cowboys' defensive strategy will focus on improving yards per passing attempt against, a key metric from Parker's previous success with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2024.
