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.
I don't understand your concern. I think your conclusion about the consensus on Spriggs is wrong if based it on the comments in the JSO article.

It reads as if they were asked if he was a first rounder and better than the others. If you sort through the chaff, of 12 scouts, three do not seem to like him at all, the others have criticisms, but think late first or early second would have been good places to take him and that he has a shot to be a left tackle.

No, not everyone loves him, but he seems OK for where he was taken.
