Well the playoffs are over and the deadline for players to pull out of the draft has passed so I figured that it's a good time to unveil my first mock draft. For now it will just be a basic list of the teams and picks, but as we get closer to draft day I will start to elaborate on why I think a team might choose a player, my opinion of the player, and more. I believe that this draft is definitely a weak one, not as weak as the dreaded 2000 draft, but it could be the weakest since then. A couple reasons why is because last years high school class wasn't very good, with the last few years producing much better than average classes. The disparity is obvious. Also a lot of people did not come into the draft this year even though they would have been lottery picks.
Next year's class will be better and I will talk about it after the draft, but as for now, it's time to put up my first mock draft!

"Ah yeah I lost my notebook with all of last years list"
