[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 711876"] If 2018 FA were to be a factor, the Packers should be drafting a safety with Burnett and Clinton-Dix free agents after this season. Of course Randall could be moved to FS where he belongs. ;) There's a good chance Spriggs will be a starting guard in Lang's stead. When he filled in at that spot he looked terrible in run blocking but pretty decent in pass blocking for a guy who's not played the position. Zone run blocking is a chemistry thing and needs to be worked out. He needs to add some bulk. They didn't trade up for this guy to have him sit on the bench until Bulaga's contract runs out in 2019 and they were d*mn sure they'd extend Bakhtiari when that draft pick was made given what they paid Bakhtiari. If Bulaga were not coming off one of his best seasons, I'd think Bulaga would move to OG with Spriggs taking over at RT. At a minimum, they will need to add at least one guy to the roster and somebody who would not be a disaster on the PS if called up in a pinch. They need to cover the backups at all positions, obviously. Murphy looks like a guy who might get work at C in camp. It's a weak draft on the O-Line...maybe one of Thompson's draft-an-OT-and-convert-to-OG will pop up in the mid-to-low rounds. [/QUOTE]
