DE Noah Spence, Eastern Kentucky
Noah Spence may be a “boom-or-bust” prospect, but he’s so ridiculously talented he may be worth a second-round gamble. If the Packers had grabbed Spence at No. 27, you would have heard no complaints from me. Now they might have a shot on day two.
Spence is one of the best pure pass rushers in the draft. He’s an outstanding athlete and makes a living disrupting linemen and getting in the face of the quarterback. SI draft researcher Ollie Connolly broke down Spence’s ability in TheReadOptional.com’s draft guide:
"“One of the biggest boom-or-bust prospects in the draft. Noah Spence is the best dip-and-rip speed rusher in the class. In a league that is desperate for twitchy, off-the-line, pass-rushers, Spence fits the bill. On-the-field, Spence cares about one thing; hitting quarterbacks. He can play with his hand on the ground in a four-man front or stood up in three-man fronts. He wins with an elite step, sudden quickness and flashes the ability to convert speed to power.”"
His off-the-field issues are concerning, but at No. 57 he could be the steal of the draft, assuming he drops that far.
