Sometimes I miss things. But yes, those are the types of things that can be gleaned if a person wants to pay attention to context! Nice observation, and i trust it!

Pb, I would recommend listening to the pc and watching yourself, not reading. So much gets lost in the translation to written word.
Yeah, I did listen to the PC last night on the radio and today on their website. He doesn't say anything specific about his playing. You've got me spooked.
That's it. He says nothing about how spriggs plays. Said was tough, said was athletic, said wanted to be good. Said nothing about actually being good. It's what he didn't say that concerns me.
Billings or Adams would be nice
Let's just keep saving and drafting and developing until our HOF quarterback is a shadow of himself.
I'll maintain that our approach via the draft and free agency needs to be much more aggressive over the next few years. We pay Clay more than double what Trevathan is being paid per year, and the contract was a year longer. For whatever reason money doesn't matter, as long as TT drafted the player getting paid.
another LB; nice.
How about another DT, TE, or scatback RB next ??
I think you're in the wrong thread, brah!
Wasn't TT also giving pretty high praise to RB Alex Green when they drafted him? I guess we have to wait and see when the pads come on, but stil an interesting observation about Spriggs indeed.

Ted Thompson surprises Packers fans again
BY: Richard Ryman, USA TODAY NETWORK-Wisconsin 1:58 a.m. EDT April 29, 2016
He said he was, "the man."
And apparently TT is wrong sometimes too :) But I've noticed a trend that when the Packers take guys that TT talks about how good they are at football, they usually end up being good at playing football. With some exceptions. In 10 years it's the closest thing to a reliable way to judge a draft after the draft as I've come up with.
we use 'bruh' here

I stand corrected!
JSO anonymous scout review.

Consensus - Clark is solid, Fackrell may be good, or may have lost a critical step from the knee injury. Spriggs - yikes, a looks like Tarzan, plays like Jane type
TT must have loved Spriggs a the Senior Bowl, because that analysis does not give me hope for this pick being anything other than TT's worst 2nd rounder since Brohm, and he traded up to get him as well.
I like Clark, am dubious about Fackrell, and hate the Spriggs pick, especially with the trade factored in.
My concern is if Justin and Mad Scientists post are correct, he might have been a reach for the last OT with a Round 1-2 grade. Would match his comment about draft board moving away from them.
However, if they really had a Round 1 grade on him, then they must have though he would develop. We'll see.
Jason Wilde was just on the radio and he said from several sources (and named Eliot Wolf) that the Packers DID have a first round grade on Spriggs, which was why Ted was willing to jump up given the current roster.
They did not think he was going to last. So at least from a scouting perspective, he was not a reach for the last Tackle of value worthy of a second round selection.
