Draft Hobbyist has attended nearly every public practice this offseason and these are first person observations and thoughts on which players stood out.

Now that the 2016 Green Bay Packers Organized Team Activities (OTA's) and Minicamp are in the books, lets take a quick look at what players have done, and allow me to project where I think players now stand:

Offensive Line: The Packers added 2nd Round pick Jason Spriggs and 6th Round pick Kyle Murphy. Murphy is still learning the ropes, but Spriggs has flashed a few times. Spriggs has been cross-training at both LT and RT. On one play, he put Clay Matthews right on his butt. On the next play, Spriggs didn't even get a hand on Julius Peppers. That about sums up the up and down that you'd expect out of a young player. Still, I've been quite impressed overall at his ability to be patient, sit straight, and avoid leaning forward. He shows good, quick feet as well. He has had a few false starts that he needs to clean up, though. Spriggs is pushing to show he can be a starter, but he'll likely come up short against the veterans, and he looks to be an excellent backup swing LT and RT. Murphy is attempting to show that he should be on the 53 as potential RT/OG, but he has some proving to do yet.

Defensive Line: The Packers added a lot to the DL through the 2016 NFL Draft with 1st Round pick Kenny Clark and 4th Round pick Dean Lowry. Unfortunately, I really don't have too much to say about these players other than they don't look out of place. It's nearly impossible to judge the DL at this point because so much of what they do is dependent on strength and leverage, so we'll have to wait and see when drills get a little closer to live. Clark is a lock to make the 53-man roster, while Lowry probably will, just based on draft position and need.

Linebacker: 3rd Round pick Kyler Fackrell (OLB) and 4th Round pick Blake Martinez (ILB) were the two LB additions to the Packer's roster. Martinez has really impressed me. He floats around very well on passing downs, always seeming to fill in front of the receivers at the right times. The main weakness I've seen in the passing game is when the WR's bunch up in trips and he has to figure out which one to cover. He sometimes reacts too slowly and can't get outside quick enough. He has also shown a good ability to take on blocks and fill holes in the running game, to the extent that a player can show these qualities in OTA's and minicamp anyways. Martinez shouldn't be discounted from potentially winning a starting spot.

On Fackrell, the thing I like about him is that he tries to do a lot of different things. He's going to have to find his move to rely on, but within his arsenel is a bull rush, spin move, and a shoulder dip around the edge. He especially likes to spin when he's locked up on an OL in an attempt to disengage. He is also very comfortable in coverage for as big as he is. Fackrell is raw, there is no doubt about it, but he's showing very good developmental potential, and he seems to be the perfect body type to replace Julius Peppers after eventual retirement, even if Fackrell never reaches that level.

Wide Receiver: The last Green Bay Packers 2016 NFL Draft pick that needs to be mentioned is 5th Round Draft pick Trevor Davis. Young WR'stend to make the team based on Special Teams play, and Davis has not disappointed. I watched him extensively on the jugs and with live punts, and he rarely misses or even double catches the ball. I have him marked as going 28 catches to two non-catches in 30 attempts from either the jugs or a live Punter. He looks natural catch the ball, and he has the range to get to balls other guys don't get to. Davis also has the quickness, speed, and ability to read to find and get to the holes against the coverages.

I have also been impressed with Davis as a Wide Receiver. He has good hands, and consistently gets open. He has also high pointed and fought for the ball successfully a few times, which is nice to see from a smaller WR, although the real physicality hasn't started yet. Davis catches the vast majority of targets going his way, including beating some of the better Cornerbacks on the team. If the Packers keep six WR's, that means there are only two spots for Jared Abbrederis, Jeff Janis, and Trevor Davis, and the rest of the camp WR's, but don't count Davis out from winning one of those spots just yet.

Others: To name a few guys not drafted this year, Jared Cook looks outstanding. He runs good routes, catches the ball with his hands, and he has the size to block. He easily looks like our #1 Tight End at the moment. Richard Rodgers looks to be slimmed down a bit.

Punter: Peter Mortell can boom the ball really high in the air. He has shown me that he's going to push Masthay, but he needs to do more to win the spot. I think he needs to show more consistency with length, although he has boomed some good, long kicks, and he needs to speed up his approach, which he does seem to be improving at.

My Dark Horse for this year to keep an eye on is Running Back Brandon Burks. He can catch the ball very well. On one play, Rodgers threw the ball high and behind him and he jumped up, contorted his body like a WR would, caught the ball, and landed on his feet. It was truly a spectacular catch, one worth of a Rodgers thumbs up. He has also shown the ability to get small and have some wiggle to juke defenders, and even when the Packers are playing 11-on-11 touch, Burks is still finding a way to avoid tackles while following his blockers. Maybe he can surprise and beat out John Crockett, but even if he doesn't, he should be a strong Practice Squad candidate if he keeps up with this level of play.
