In 2014, the Dallas Cowboys used a dominant offensive line to anchor a run to the postseason. America’s Team finished at 12-4, ranked No. 2 in rushing yards per game and saw Tony Romo have his most efficient season to date.

At the 2015 NFL Draft, the Cowboys will be tasked with turning their attention to a lackluster defense.

Dallas was No. 8 in rushing yards allowed per game. It was also No. 16 in opponent yards per carry, No. 31 in rushing touchdowns allowed, No. 26 in passing yards let up per game and No. 20 in passing yards allowed per attempt.

The question is, which prospects should be targeted in the first round to improve the Cowboys dreadful defense?
