Yesterday, we took care of the draft reaction from hometown papers from the two East divisions.

Today, we go North, young men and women.

Enjoy!

 

AFC NORTH

ESPN.com divisional recap.

Cleveland Browns

Missouri tight end Martin Rucker respects Kellen Winslow, it seems, but wants his job. Tough talk, for sure.

Pittsburgh Steelers

Team brass high on Limas Sweed.

Sweed, Mendenhall may open up the team's playbook a little.

Baltimore Ravens

Team's grade ranges from A- to D+. Ouch.

Low- or high-level competition, Joe Flacco can play.

Cincinnati Bengals

A lot will be expected of new linebacker Keith Rivers.

Yes, the selection of Jerome Simpson of Coastal Carolina was a bit ... puzzling.

 

NFC NORTH

ESPN.com divisional recap.

Green Bay Packers

The Packers, with Brian Brohm and Matt Flynn added in, have plenty of arms; but is that a good thing?

Ted Thompson trades down, drafts Jordy freaking Nelson.

Don't worry, Aaron, you're not the only one confused by the Packers' draft.

Minnesota Vikings

None of the team's picks projects as a 2008 starter. Ouch.

John David Booty COULD be, though, at some point.

Chicago Bears

Cedric Benson is now on the clock after Chicago drafted Tulane's Matt Forte.

Saw this live: Mel Kiper LOVED the Bears' draft.

Detroit Lions

This draft reveals the team is again rebuilding.

Coach Marinelli wants each pick to make the team.

Even the Wall Street Journal is picking on Matt Millen.
