[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 772716"] The Packers value RT well enough to pay Bulaga what they've been paying him. And the Packers traded up for Spriggs in the 2nd. round in 2016 with Bulaga finishing the season on his feet and then doubled down with Murphy in the 6th. round. At the time of the draft it looked like the Spriggs pick was a backstop against losing Bakhtiari to free agency a year down the line. However, when the B. contract came down after week 1, it was pretty evident they were going to pay whatever was required. That Spriggs played like crap in preseason might have been a factor is acknoledged. While going OT in the 1st. round instead of defense would be quite a surprise, the 2nd./3rd. round would not be surprising to me at all. It's a different situation than in 2016 but perhaps a more acute one with Bulaga's condition in doubt while the book is still open Spriggs. I don't think having Williams and Miller come in for visits is idle tire-kicking. At the least they are benchmarking off these guys. At the most they are considering options if one of these guys or a reasonable facimile falls into the 2nd. round pick or even a trade up in the 2nd. round if the Bulaga outlook is negative. If they go that way, I would expect them to take a guy who could project at either OT or G and put him in a competition for RG and RT, both positions having question marks. [/QUOTE]
