This list is not exhaustive, but Blake Williams/Jordan Cronk (Scope/Filmmaker/S&S), Davey Jenkins (LWL), Daniel Kasman (MUBI), James Lattimer, amongst others.
As always, I think the "Apichatpoll"/todaslascriticas grid of mostly Ibero origin is of the highest quality::
http://www.todaslascriticas.com.ar/cannes/2017" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
which features stellar programmers like Andrea Picard, Dennis Lim, Gustavo Beck, Roger Koza, Jaime Pena, Fernando Ganzo, blah blah. It's only scores, but quite a few of those also have dispatches. The critic.de grid is also of special interest to me this year because along with some of the names above, it's got Giovanni Marchini Camia (Fireflies)

And to my eyes, it seems that Grisebach is indeed the consensus favourite so far, with Varda & Garrel creeping up there.
And of course, David Hudson at the new Criterion Daily is a wondrous aggregate
