Arnold Ebiketie, Edge – Penn State

Career Stats: 120 total tackles, 28.5 tackles for loss, 15.5 sacks, 5 forced fumbles

With the question of whether the Cowboys are going to keep defensive end Randy Gregory in free agency and DeMarcus Lawrence possibly becoming a cap casualty, Dallas could look to add another body to the defensive line.

That body is Ebiketie whose athletic ability and speed jump off the screen when looking at his game tape. If Gregory were to leave, the Cowboys would be replacing him with a player that has a similar style to his game. Ebiketie has the speed to get around offensive tackles but also the ability to turn that speed into power for a nice bull rush.

His long arms give him the ability to keep offensive linemen from getting a hold of him to slow him down. He’s also 6-3 which allows him to get low enough to turn the corner and make a play for the quarterback. Snagging Ebiketie in the second round would be a nice addition of speed to go along with Micah Parsons for the future.
