59. . DE. Eastern Kentucky. Noah Spence. 13. player

The Dolphins have done a good job of addressing their defensive needs this offseason, but they aren’t done yet.

Cameron Wake is great when he’s healthy, and coming off of a torn Achilles at his age is going to be trying at best.  Having a youthful backup in case he can’t go, or is re-injured, is never a bad idea.  Drafting one who can eventually – if not immediately – replace him, is even better.

Noah Spence from Eastern Kentucky via Ohio State has had his share of ups and downs, but his downs seem to be behind him, and his ups seem to keep coming.  Adding Spence to this line rotation will ensure consistent disruption of opposing offenses facing Miami in 2016.
