Walter Cherepinsky has pushed the boundaries further than anyone for premature draft talk - by publishing a two round 2010 mock draft. The amount of detail that has to go into this is unfathomable - for starters you have to predict each team's record for the 2009 campaign. A year ago today, how many people thought Miami would go 11-5 after a 1-15 season?
Apart from that, you're also guessing which college prospects will have the kind of season to define their stock at the end of the year. Prior to his senior campaign, Aaron Curry received a 3rd round grading but eventually went in the top five. Jason Smith (2nd overall) was regarded as a late 1st round prospect and Mark Sanchez was approaching his first season as USC's starting quarterback.
Still, it's fun to look at these very early projections if only for a watching brief for the 2009 college season. Cherepinsky has the Seahawks taking Eric Berry (S, Tennessee) and Jonathan Dwyer (RB, Georgia Tech) in round one, with Charles Brown (OT, USC) chosen in the second.

I love Walters site. I check it every week to see his mock draft changes throught the season. He seems to have a good idea about individual teams and how they draft, the Hawks really stress character for example. He seems to be aware of that sort of stuff, not just look at a teams needs, and plug in the best percieved player in that spot. When a site had us taking B.J. Raji I would take a mental note of that and ignore that site in the future.
I would agree Germpod, I may have claimed the kind of depth in this mock is premature - but I have a lot of time for Cherepinsky's work. His draft analysis and scouting is under rated and they deliver a great service. The publicity they provide for other blogs, including this one, is really appreciated too.
It might be very early but as a draft blog, I want to keep up with any 2010 talk even if it is early.
that draft would be out of control awesome. I personally would prefer Mays to Berry, but I would be thrilled with that draft
Hey, there is a great deal of effective info above!
Well, I do not really believe this will have success.
Thank you for your article, pretty worthwhile material.
This cannot have effect in fact, that is what I believe.
