Another year, another mock draft.

With just two days until the start of the 2009 NFL Draft, the illusion of movement of player movement is unfolding as expected, even though
no team has actually made a selection and thus no actual way to gauge all this "imaginary" movement.

In fact, aside from Georgia signal caller Matthew Stafford and Baylor offensive lineman Jason Smith who are all but cemented as the first two picks, player movement is abound due to possible one-year wonders such as USC quarterback Mark Sanchez and Penn State pass rusher Aaron Maybin in addition to character concerns surrounding players such as Florida wide receiver Percy Harvin.

Below is a pick-by-pick prognostication of the first 32 selections of the 2009 NFL Draft:
