Outside Linebacker. Georgia. Leonard Floyd. 27. player. 49. The Packers are solid defensively but they could stand to add more of a presence at edge rusher. They have tried Clay Matthews there but he’s needed on the outside as a pass rusher.  Leonard Floyd is one of the top edge rushers in the draft.  He could give the Packers a nice bookend to Clay Matthews and a successor to Julius Peppers.  

Noah Spence. 28. player. 124. The Chiefs have a good quarterback in Alex Smith but they could use an heir to groom as his successor.  However, they have bigger needs though.  The Chiefs one of the best defenses in the NFL and it has a chance to become even better if they add more pass rushing.  Eastern Kentucky’s Noah Spence is one of the best pass rushers in the draft and the Chiefs could use his services.<b> </b>. Outside Linebacker. Eastern Kentucky
