123. <p>Although the Dallas Cowboys saw a drastic improvement in their defense from a year ago, one thing that did not change was the pressure provided on the quarterback. Too many times Dallas allowed the opposing quarterback time in the pocket, adding extra stress to the secondary.</p> <p>While Arik Armstead isn’t specifically known for rushing the passer, he possesses something that could help Dallas improve: his size. At 6-8′, 290 lbs, Armstead is one of the biggest prospects to come out of the draft.</p> <p>His size alone will command a double team, allowing other rushers such as Jeremy Mincey and Henry Melton.</p>. Defensive Tackle. Oregon. Arik Armstead. 27. player

45. <p>The Denver Broncos passing offense is one that suddenly sputtered out of control. Peyton Manning was injured, forcing the team to turn to the running game. The running game was successful, however, it was not good enough to advance the Broncos.</p> <p>One player who is set to hit free agency is tight end Julius Thomas. If the Broncos do not resign Thomas, a huge need immediately opens up on the offense.</p> <p>You know Manning loves throwing to his tight ends. Not having a viable tight end as a security blanket or seam runner could seriously affect the success of the passing game.</p> <p>Maxx Williams is the top tight end in this year’s free agency class. Williams has essentially the same body as Thomas and can be just as dynamic in the passing game.</p>. Tight End. Minnesota. Maxx Williams. 28. player
