Armstead is a bit of a work in progress, but his size and athleticism could give this Arizona coaching staff a lot to work with. This is a boom or bust pick, but the Cardinals coaching staff proved their worth last year and I have no doubts they could do it with Armstead.

Arik Armstead
Defensive Tackle, Oregon
The Cardinals already have an Arik Armstead look a-like in Calais Campbell so why not add another of the same type? Armstead possesses the necessary size and length to perfectly beef up a thin Cardinals defensive line.
This past offseason they watched Darnell Dockett move to their division rivals in San Francisco and saw Dan Williams take his talents to Oakland. This pick comes as big need for a defense that is a bit battered at this moment.
