123. <p>Although the Dallas Cowboys saw a drastic defensive improvement from a year ago, one thing that did not change was the pressure provided to the quarterback. Too many times Dallas allowed the opposing quarterback ample time in the pocket, which added stress on an average secondary.</p> <p>While Arik Armstead wasn’t as productive in college as expected, he possesses something that could help the team improve. At six feet eight inches tall, and a near 300 pounds, Armstead is one of the largest prospects out of this seasons class.</p> <p>Again, Armstead is the most gifted pass rusher; however, he is a long, lengthy defender, who could free up space and command double-teams on a frequent basis, giving teammates such as Jeremy Mincey and Henry Melton more open field to work with.</p>. Defensive Tackle. Oregon. Arik Armstead. 27. player
