So how did your mock draft turn out? Hopefully it was better than mine.

With the 2009 WNBA Draft in the books, analysts and reporters (myself included) have spent the last week examining each team's picks and giving them grades on how they fared on draft day.

I figured it was only fair to put myself under the microscope as well. And the results were not pretty.

Let’s begin with a review of my mock drafts. The first was posted on April 4 (the day prior to the NCAA Final Four) and my final mock draft was posted on April 8 (the day prior to the draft and the day after Connecticut won the national championship). The correct picks are in red (look closely because there are not many).

Pick / Team	Mock Draft 4/4	Mock Draft 4/8	Actual Draft
1. Atlanta Dream	Angel McCoughtry	Renee Montgomery	Angel McCoughtry
2. Washington Mystics	Courtney Paris	Marissa Coleman	Marissa Coleman
3. Chicago Sky	Marissa Coleman	Angel McCoughtry	Kristi Toliver
4. Minnesota Lynx	DeWanna Bonner	Courtney Paris	Renee Montgomery
5. Phoenix Mercury	Renee Montgomery	Kristi Toliver	DeWanna Bonner
6. Indiana Fever	Kristi Toliver	Briann January	Briann January
7. Sacramento Monarchs	Briann January	DeWanna Bonner	Courtney Paris
8. New York Liberty	Shavonte Zellous	Shavonte Zellous	Kia Vaughn
9. Minnesota Lynx	Kia Vaughn	Ashley Walker	Quanitra Hollingsworth
10. Connecticut Sun	Ashley Walker	Kia Vaughn	Chante Black
11. Detroit Shock	Lyndra Littles	Lyndra Littles	Shavonte Zellous
12. Seattle Storm	Chante Black	Chante Black	Ashley Walker
13. Los Angeles Sparks	Lindsay Wisdom-Hylton	Shalee Lehning	Lindsay Wisdom-Hylton

Now that the evidence is on the screen, let's look at where it all went wrong. If you look at my first mock draft, I got the bookends of the first round correct, with every other pick in between wrong. By overrating Courtney Paris at No. 2, I became a victim of the domino effect, where that one mistake led to many more throughout the round.

Having the first incorrect pick so high is the most damaging thing you can do in a mock draft because it will adversely affect the rest of your picks, just like if you are filling out your NCAA bracket and your pick to win the tournament gets knocked out in the first round. At that point you can just rip up your bracket, just as I ripped up this mock draft.

So going just 2-for-13 in my first mock draft was terrible, but I could always fall back on the excuse of, "Well that was just my first mock draft, it wasn't my final version." Unfortunately for me, things did not improve with my final mock draft. Once again I went 2-for-13, but with the correct picks coming in different spots.

After watching UConn roll to their national championship and undefeated season, I (as well as many other analysts) moved Renee Montgomery up to the top of my mock draft. I thought that the Dream would take Montgomery and build around her as their point guard of the future. However, the Dream decided to go with Angel McCoughtry, and once again my mock draft had its first mistake early.

I rebounded well by getting the No. 2 pick correct, with Marissa Coleman going to the Mystics. As more and more questions about Paris came up, I decided to move her down a few spots from my first mock draft and had the Mystics selecting between Coleman and McCoughtry, and ultimately going with the hometown favorite in Coleman. After two picks, I was 1-for-2, but I wouldn't stay close to .500 for long.

The Sky suprised me by selecting Kristi Toliver with the No. 3 pick in more ways the one. First, with Dominique Canty and Jia Perkins in place, I didn't think they needed to address the backcourt with such a high pick; and second, I thought that Montgomery would be the first point guard selected in this draft.

With Montgomery still on the board, the Lynx scooped her up at No. 4 and gave me another incorrect pick on my mock draft. Up next was Phoenix, who I had taking Toliver (who was no longer on the board), but chose DeWanna Bonner.

I always felt that Bonner would be a perfect fit in Phoenix, I just couldn't find a way to put her there. In my first mock draft, I had her going to the Lynx at No. 4 before the Mercury picked. In my final mock draft, I had to decide between Toliver and Bonner (a decision that Phoenix never had to make since Toliver was gone) and I decided to give them a scoring guard that likes to run. In hindsight, I think the Mercury found a perfect fit with Bonner, whose athleticism, length and skill set should make her very valuable to coach Corey Gaines. Can you imagine her being used as the rover in the Mercury's popular defensive set?

Indiana helps me out at No. 6 by picking up Briann January to improve my mock draft score to 2-for-6. However, after No. 6, my mock draft completely blew up, as I did not get another selection correct the rest of the first round. I had many of the correct players that were picked; I just had them in the wrong order. Paris went No. 7, I had her at No. 4; Kia Vaughn went No. 8, I had her two picks away at No. 10; no one had Quanitra Hollingsworth going No. 9, so I don't feel too bad about that one; I had Minnesota grabbing Ashley Walker with that pick, but she dropped to the Storm at No. 12.

So to summarize, I got two picks right in both of the mock drafts I created for the 2009 WNBA Draft. I think it's close to impossible to pick the perfect draft, but that is what makes this time of the year so much fun as there are so many things happening and so many decisions being made in such a short amount of time.

That is why teams spend so much time leading up to the draft creating multiple scenarios as to what might happen. If Player A goes here, then we can draft Player B here. If they pass on Player A, then we can grab her with our pick. What if Player C falls? What if there are trades? There are so many things to consider that teams must head into the war room armed with multiple plans of action.

While I will fully admit that my mock draft was flawed, I'm curious to see how it plays out over the course of the season. When you look back at previous drafts, you have the benefit of seeing how each player has done in the WNBA and you can create your own re-draft as to how the draft should have gone.

What will we see when we look back at this draft next year or a few years down the line? Will the teams have made the right choices? Will my mock draft look better then than it does now?

I mean it can't look much worse.
