Final total correct was 82.  That's the same as I did last year.  McGinn beats me by 2.  Still did a bit above average.  Top score was 87.  Mayock and McShay also finished with 84.  Zierlein of NFL.com had the same as I did.  Finished ahead of Brandt (80) and Kiper (79).

This next part is just for chillijon.  Since I did above average in my predictions I will give the Packers an above average grade in this draft.  If I would have beat McGinn then I would have given the Packers an A+.  If I would have finished behind Kiper than I would have said the Packers did horrible, Thompson is getting old and senile and the Packers suck and Go Bears.  But since I did OK with my predictions, and that's obviously the most important thing when it comes to the NFL draft, I'll say the Packers get an above average grade in the draft.

There were some comments during the season about Clark not looking the part. Always smart to make a judgement on a rookie D-linemen. He looks a bit under-sized but plays with really good leverage and great hand use. He only got better as the season wore on - when it mattered most. 

No rookie wall here. Would be great if he can become a player.

K.Clark's already a player and an offseason of weight training surely helps

Ben Fennell had some great cutups on twitter of Clark taking on double teams, showing his technique, but I can't access them anymore. Couple of other ones linked below

I'm not sure he's really undersized for the role he plays. The days of the Gilbert Brown/Ryan Pickett base NT are over; everybody plays nickel all the time.

GB was looking for a DL with both run/pass talents to play next to Daniels. Clark looks like a great fit and he'll get even more snaps in 2017.

2016 DL snaps were Daniels 64 %, Guion 44 %  Clark 33 %.
