I was surprised Spriggs wasn't a late 1st round pick by someone. I understand he needs time to develop, needs to become consistent in his play and therefore isn't ready now, but I felt like he had the highest potential ceiling of any LT in this draft.
It'll be interesting to see if Spriggs can develop and become better than the linemen that went in front of him, especially Lions Taylor Decker since he's in the same division.

He may not be the best T in the draft, but imo what they liked about him is that he was the most versatile.
This staff likes to save an extra roster spot on gameday by having OL that can play more than one position.

He's not as good as Tunsil or Stanley.
But he offers a lot more than Bahktiari did when he was drafted (or, IMO, does now).
