3-year analysis: Grading the Packers’ 2016 draft class
Jason Spriggs, OT, Indiana (2nd round, No. 48)
Thompson traded a second-round pick (57th overall), a fourth-rounder (125th overall) and a seventh-round pick (248th overall) to move up nine spots and select Spriggs in the second round. That’s a lot of value given up for a player that’s performed, well, underwhelmingly. Spriggs, who can play both tackle positions, has started just nine games over three seasons. Once looked at as Bryan Bulaga’s heir to the right-tackle throne, Spriggs will certainly be a cheaper option when Bulaga’s contract expires after the 2019 season, but at this point, he’s probably not the answer.
