"1. Coming in, Noah Spence—who got booted off Ohio State’s team for drug violations, then finished at Eastern Kentucky—was going to be one of the best edge-rush prospects. Then he ran a 4.80-second 40 here. As much as we justifyingly ho-hum results of runs and lifts and such, that’s just not good. And Joey Bosa, Spence’s former Buckeye mate (who had just five sacks last season) ran just okay at 4.87 seconds. Pass-rushers are so difficult to project. Two years ago Jadeveon Clowney—despite mediocre college production in his final season—was the first overall pick. Now Houston’s got to be asking serious questions about Clowney, who has 4.5 sacks in 17 career games, and has missed 16 games due to injury. There’s something about desire and strength and love of the game (Von Miller, J.J. Watt) that has to be a major part of the process. The guys at the top of the draft scare me. I’d be more focused on a second-round-type prospect like Oklahoma State’s Emmanuel Ogbah, who was faster than many thought coming in (4.62) and could be a good rush option."
