Round 5, overall (136)- Noah Spence EDGE, Eastern Kentucky
Drafttek ranking: 133
No, that isn’t Spence in the picture it is Derrick Morgan. Why is he pictured? Well, for one Spence doesn’t have any pictures in the database because he plays for Eastern Kentucky. The other reason is because Derrick Morgan is a key factor in this offense and when his ability to rush the passer is missing, this defense has no teeth.
The Titans need to do a better job preparing for that next year and add a 1st round talent in Spence, in the 5th round. While he has some character concerns, so did DGB and he has reformed himself and come in with a workman like attitude.
Whoever takes the helm as the Titans next head coach is going to be a strong leader whether that is Josh McDaniels and his Belichick roots, or Hue Jackson and his Marvin Lewis roots. Either way, they won’t let stuff like that fly and they will get everyone to toe the line.
