On March 3rd, the Dallas Cowboys are ramping up their off-season focus on defense, especially at Edge R Usher, where depth is thin. Outside linebacker Donovan and his they were Waku, had hip-laborum surgery and will miss most of the spring program, though he's expected back for training camp-in, Oxenard, California. New defensive coordinator Christian Parker wants to nail down the team's defensive identity before diving into skiing. Vice-president of player personnel Wilma Clay emphasized grabbing the best athletes who fit any system rather than scheme-specific fits to build. Long-term success. Fans and scouts are buzzing about combined standouts, like linebackers, sunny styles and Jacob Rodriguez. Styles posted elite speed with a 4.4640-yard dash and a 43.5-inch vertical while Rodriguez impressed with smooth. Defleticism at 6-foot-1, 231 pounds, despite winning major awards. Parker might target defensive backs like safety, Dylan Thineman and Cornerback Chris Johnson,

both of whom boosted their stock at the combine and fit. Versatile roles, meanwhile, past rushes like Bain and Howell could slide to the Cowboys picks at 12 or 20 overall, thanks to shorter arms that might scare. Off others, despite their college production, on a lighter note, kicker Brandon Aubrey's restricted free agency is drawing attention with a standing offer from owner Jerry Jones. His unique path from soccer to the NFL has kept his earnings low, but a second-round tender could secure him while netting Dallas a valuable pick if he leaves. As draft season heats up, the Cowboys keep eyeing ways to bolster this defense.
