TT traded up for Spriggs, I believe.

Yep. TT gave up a 4th and a 7th to trade up 9 spots in the second round to take him.

I think they knew Spriggs was going to struggle for a while as soon as he had his first practice in training camp. However, a lot of OL struggle to adjust the first year or so and then get better. If anything, he seemed to get worse.

He made 7 million dollars in his career to take about 1200 NFL snaps.

The only bigger high round OL bust that TT had was D. Sherrod, and he was likely going to be at least an average player until the gruesome leg injury.

That trade worked out kinda crazy
Antonio Morrison ended up playing in GB and Spriggs spent some time in Indy
And the team the Packers jumped in draft to land Spriggs , ( Da Bears) snagged Spriggs when we were done with him.

Morrison was later tossed off an airplane at Austin Straubel for failing to listen to the flight attendant and then saying: " Fuck you ! You don't own this plane"

The Bears stand a good chance of winning like 5 or 6 games this year.  And that’s before they started losing players due to injury or potential trades (Roquan Smith).  

They aren’t a good team by any stretch and Justin Fields is going to take a lot of hits and throw a lot of picks.

I have them winning 6 games, this season. I think that was mighty generous of me.
