With the No. 87 overall pick in the 204 NFL draft the Dallas Cowboys selected Marist Liufau, linebacker from Notre Dame. The Cowboys selected Liufau at the tail end of the third round, just before the long wait to their next pick in the fifth round, 93 picks later.
Dallas’ sole external free agent signing in 2024, Eric Kendricks, shows just how barren the cupboard was after the release of Leighton Vander Esch. The Cowboys linebacker room has been considered thin the past couple seasons, and one could argue it still is even with the addition of Liufau. That said, he brings a unique and promising skillset to the linebacker corps compared to other bodies in the room.
