    Well yeah, everybody has their draft day ritual.

    I gave up all my lists and pre draft lookin' after the 2007 draft.

    Now, I use the draft to learn the new kids names.

    Also, thx to the Moose, B-Man, Harve, PB and all the draftniks.

    I don't read the sites, I just come to the Rat nest for my draft info.

    Awesome KY. I was a late bloomer, but also adopted your way. I usually get a draft guide right before the draft to look guys up but really it's just me absorbing the prospects through osmosis of listening to NFL radio to know who I *think* I want. Guys like Harv and others who pour over this stuff do a good service because as the Brits would say, I can't be arsed to do it myself.

    KYPack do you need lists and magazines etc. when there are good NFL Draft Expertise sites that have done so much to prepare any football fan to grasp the Draft and just maybe have even a hunch as to when their teams GM has made a dramatic 'REACH'?

    Here are just a few of the decent sites:

    http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/drafttracker

    and

    www.nfl.com/draft/2016/tracker

    and

    http://www.rotoworld.com/articles/nf...-draft-tracker

    and

    http://www.drafttek.com/

    are just some of them.

    I'm just at this time reviewing the results of NFL.Com's Expert Draft analysts Grading of all NFL teams results in this 2016 Draft.

    Here's a Draft Grade for the Packers from NFL.com. The man giving this review is very experience and competent.

    Green Bay Packers

    Draft picks: Kenny Clark (No. 27 overall), Jason Spriggs (No. 48 overall), Kyler Fackrell (No. 88 overall), Blake Martinez (No. 131), Dean Lowry (No. 137), Trevor Davis (No. 163), Kyle Murphy (No. 200)

    Day 1 grade: B+
    Day 2 grade: B
    Day 3 grade: B+

    Overall grade: B+


    The skinny: There wasn't much question that the Packers were going to bolster their front seven with their opening pick. Another no-brainer will be fan comparisons of the careers of their selection, Clark, and two available Alabama studs: linebacker Reggie Ragland and nose tackle Jarran Reed.

    Green Bay desperately needed help at the tackle position, and trading up for Spriggs filled that hole. It was an atypical move for Ted Thompson, giving up a mid-round choice for a nine-spot move upwards. Fackrell has good potential to help rush the passer on the outside.

    The Packers needed an inside linebacker, and they got one with athleticism and intelligence in Martinez. Lowry is a five-technique who will be part of the rotation. Davis is a probable returner who showed the best hands at the combine. Murphy gives more depth at the tackle, though fans are hoping the team gets a good tight end as an undrafted free agent.
