The Bears were certainly interested in drafting Spriggs in the 2016 NFL Draft, but they weren’t alone. Their rivals to the north, the Packers, were also high on Spriggs. So much so that they traded up to snag him in the second round with the 48th overall pick.

Ultimately, the Packers sent three draft picks to the Colts (57th overall, a fourth-rounder (125th) and seventh-round pick (248th) to move up to draft Spriggs. But considering he turned out to be a failure for Green Bay, it’s surely.a move they’d like to have back.
