That's because teams go to the draft prepared. They all have a master list containing the names of prospects that they have ranked that goes at least 30 deep. Its a matter of crossing off names and reading the name that is on top of the list that hasn't been crossed out. Most teams also try to predict how the draft will unfold so you might see teams deviate from their list of they think they can grab a player lower on the list later.
