[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 807982"] I don't see his play strength as an issue at this point. He looks like he's put on a lot of good weight. There are issues highlighted in Zierlein's pre-draft scouting report that remain: [URL]http://www.nfl.com/draft/2016/profiles/jason-spriggs?id=2555197[/URL] "Has crippling issue with over-setting in pass protection. Doesn't maintain much weight on inner half of his frame and has consistent issues redirecting his weight back inside with suddenness against inside moves." Then when he does set inside, "Slows his slide when punching, allowing rushers opportunity to gain advantage around the corner." I roll these issues up into questionable balance and foot quickness. If he's playing against guys who just burst the edge and have no counter move, he can set weight outside and handle the guy. Better pass rushers who have a counter move still get him betwixt and between. After 3 years, we have to conclude he is who he is going to be. These are OT issues. He might be a decent guard if he's ever tried there. Regardless, releasing him gets only $1.1 mil in cap savings next year. Even if the Packers hold on to Bulaga and bring in a guy who beats him out for the #3 spot, that's not a lot of dough for a #4 OT behind an always questionable Bulaga. There is no reason to believe Spriggs is a long term answer at OT. [/QUOTE]
