The futility of Mock Drafts

Several sportswriters are publishing mock drafts for 2008 now. NOW!!!! Even one day before the 2007 draft, most of them did not have even 5 picks right in the first round and none of the draft I read had Brady Quinn falling out of the top 10 (I actually predicted in a sportsline.com message boardpost that he would fall all the way down to the Packers and got a lot of flak in return). Everyone said that Miami at No 9 was his safety net and it was unlikely he would even get past the Vikings at No 7. We know how well those predictions turned out - including my prediction of the Packers picking him at 16.

Regardless, whats the point of a mock draft for 2008 one year in advance when they could not even get it right one day earlier? One the other hand maybe its not so bad because the predictions are all useless anyways...
