Packers GM Ted Thompson filled a the void (BJ Raji) by adding UCLA defensive tackle Kenny Clark ... On Day Two Friday night, TT and his Draft Team drafted two athletic talents.
Round 2: Jason Spriggs (OT, Indiana), No. 48 Overall
Edited.
OT Jason Spriggs appeared destined for a late-first-round nod following the 2016 Combine. Trading up to No. 48, the Packers have a plan for the 6-7, 298-pound athletic prospect who ** can play "all over the line," according to a Ryan Wood tweet.
Jason Spriggs is an insurance policy ** who has only played left tackle at Indiana **. Barring any injury, He'll Spriggs will be groomed to become an eventual starter with upside. He's athletic, a lineman who can move downfield.
Round 3. Kyler Fackrell (OLB, Utah State), No. 88 Overall
Edited:
Kyler Fackrell tore his ACL in Utah State's opener against Tennessee in 2014, but responded as a senior for the Aggies (82 total tackles, 5.0 sacks). He's a tall 3-4 OLB who can stand up and rush the quarterback.
ProFootballFocus had Fackrell No. 7 among edge rushers a constant presence in the backfield in the Mountain West. He's still raw and wants to add muscle. There's still the issue of Clay Matthews remaining at outside linebacker. Fackrell could learn as a rotational edge rusher in his rookie season.
There is a injury history when gauging Fackrell's place on the team, but he could be a dependable 3-4 edge rusher or outside linebacker in different scenarios for the Packers.
Comment woodbuck27:
I like what Ted Thomson and his Draft Team are giving to the future of the Green Bay Packers through the first three rounds of this draft. :-)
GO PACKERS ! GO PACK GO !!
