Is the 6 foot 6 inch, 305 pound Lineman from Stanford ready to step up and into the Starting spot as Offensive Right Tackle ? Some experts have said that he has not spent enough time in the weight room .

I say that the OTA's and Training Camp may answer the question. In addition, Murphy may just see his best chance at being a starter and step up his off season training. Also the crop of OL for the upcoming Draft is said to be severely thin for potential rookie starters .

He attended Stanford , therefor I must believe he is smart. Can he meet the physical standards needed for the position ? Can he work well with the other OL Starters ? Does he have good foot work ? How are his blocking skills ?

I think the Packers will find their guard in the draft. Keep Bulaga at right tackle and let Spriggs back up but tackle spots.

Why not kick Bulaga inside and play Spriggs at RT? The goal should be to play the five best players.

Maybe they think Barclay can play at RG?

It should be interesting to see what they do.

I fear Barclay is the RG unless someone from the draft class steps up huge.

Packers have had a habit of drafting Tackles and they end up at G. Spriggs looked pretty good in his time at RG this year. But the question is do they believe he is our future at RT. If they do, then get him in now so he can build his experience. Bulaga if he has had problems it has been against speed edge rushers, I think he would be fine at RG this year and maybe next if we don't have a replacement yet.
The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

For Aaron Rodgers to execute a passing attack , he will need solid protection. The Center and Left side of the GB line looks to be good for 2017. The RG and RT positions will be a work in progress and that is not good. If Bulaga remains at RT , then the RG position will be suspect. Who will step fill the position ?
