    Everything you need to know about TT's Pick @ NO. 48 - OT Jason Spriggs, Indiana

    Jason Wilde ‏@jasonjwilde 2m2 minutes ago
    #Packers took a Big Ten OT in 2010 first round to back up Clifton, Tauscher. @BBulaga became youngest player ever to start a Super Bowl.

    Green Bay Packers ‏@packers 2m2 minutes ago
    Gutekunst on Spriggs: We're really excited to get him. He can play all over the line. Very athletic. #PackersDraft

    Michael Cohen ‏@Michael_Cohen13 2m2 minutes ago
    Brian Gutekunst: "He's very athletic. Ran really fast, benched a lot. Down at the Senior Bowl I thought he handled himself very well."

    Michael Cohen ‏@Michael_Cohen13 2m2 minutes ago
    Brian Gutekunst: "The time was just right. We field calls throughout and have conversations — up, down, everything. The timing was right."

    Michael Cohen ‏@Michael_Cohen13 2m2 minutes ago
    Gutekunst: "He started all 4 years. I think he missed one game in his career. I think he got a little bit stronger. Athleticism was there."

    Lori Nickel ‏@LoriNickel 2m2 minutes ago
    Gutekunst: Spriggs got stronger at Indiana in four years as a starter.

    Michael Cohen ‏@Michael_Cohen13 47s48 seconds ago
    Gutekunst: "I don't know if we were ever really focused on him. I think the opportunity to move up presented itself."

    Michael Cohen ‏@Michael_Cohen13 25s25 seconds ago
    Gutekunst: "I think this was just a chance to take a really good player we liked."

    Michael Cohen ‏@Michael_Cohen13 15s15 seconds ago
    Gutekunst on Kenny Clark: "He has some dominant traits on tape sometimes. ... He is a playmaker on the inside, which is hard to find."
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    Indiana converted 92 percent of the time on third-and-short runs to the left behind Spriggs, one of the top rates of the OT class.

    How many of those runs were by Jordan Howard?
    One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

    #Seahawks had been know to be coveting Spriggs for quite some time. Trader Ted one-upped them. Well done. #Packers

    Michael Cohen ‏@Michael_Cohen13 3m3 minutes ago
    Scout on Spriggs: "A thin-framed guy so he falls off blocks. More of a zone guy in terms of lateral quickness. I wish tape matched body."

    Michael Cohen ‏@Michael_Cohen13 2m2 minutes ago
    Another scout from @BobMcGinn's draft series on Spriggs: "He'll get overdrafted because he's a workout guy. I just do not like Spriggs."

    Michael Cohen ‏@Michael_Cohen13 4m4 minutes ago
    Scout from @BobMcGinn's draft series on OT Jason Spriggs: "Works out like Tarzan. If you watch him work out, you love the guy."

    Michael Cohen ‏@Michael_Cohen13 9m9 minutes ago
    Spriggs: "I got some basketball offers from some small schools." Said football is what he loved, and that's what he wanted to play.

    Round 2, Pick 17 (48) (From Colts) Jason Spriggs OT 6'6" 301 Indiana 5.8

    Interesting note. I've been keeping a spreadsheet for the last three years on draft prospects. Spriggs is the second most athletic OT in the last three drafts. Only Taylor Lewan was higher. Brandon Scherff was the next highest. Those other two guys were picked in the top 11 of the first round.

    Do you think school he's from is a factor? I mean, if he played at Alabama instead of Indiana, maybe he goes 1st round.

    Green Bay receives: second-round pick (No. 48) (Indiana OT Jason Spriggs)
    Indianapolis receives: second-round pick (No. 57 overall) (Clemson FS T.J. Green), fourth-round pick (No. 125 overall) (Florida ILB Antonio Morrison), seventh-round pick (No. 248) (Iowa C Austin Blythe)

    Not really. He needs to bulk up some, despite testing well in the bench press. A year sitting behind Bulaga and Bakh will help him. I read something about Indiana not having many OL prospects recently, but interestingly they have another guy that's listed by NFL Draft Scout as the #2 senior OG for next year.

    Game tape of Spriggs against Michigan last year. Taking an outside rush against him is a waste of time. I didn't watch the whole tape, but the only pressure I saw him give up in the passing game was on an inside rush. Not a road grader in the running game, but doesn't miss either.

    He could use a little more punch. But even losing those, he didn't get shoved around.

    Yeah, he typically held his own. Bakh was a little light in the trunk in his first year. If he plays, it wouldn't surprise me if he struggled with the bull rush like a lot of rooks do, but I think he's got nice foot-work and quickness. A lot of those run plays went to his side of the line.

    I like Jordan Howard! He's good.
