Well we have come a long way. This marks our 100th post to the website since its conversion to a professional blog in August of 2007. I honestly had no idea what was the come of this website when it was started in early 2006, by two kids then barely in high school. True story. A story that I never formally revealed to the S2S audience.

Saturdays2Sundays was a pretty simple concept. We needed a creative name for a website that would do its best to predict the inexact science that is the N.F.L. draft. Since college football players play primarily on Saturdays, and professional football players mostly on Sundays, the name Saturdays2Sundays seemed original and catchy. We scrummed up some money, bought a domain name on Yahoo!, hired an aspiring graphic designer, and found free hosting services. This was all after we tested the waters on Freewebs.com.

The bold prediction in 2006 by one of our owners that Jay Cutler would be the best quarterback in the 2006 draft class still resonates in my mind. I have to admit I was skeptical at the time of this bold prediction, but this kind of stuff is what kept the website operating through these years. Our first 2010 mock draft is in the works, as we have decided to do away with the meaningless pre-playoff mock drafts.

That’s all for now. I’m definitely planning on at least another 100 posts, but we’ll see how it goes. Follow us on Twitter (@sat2sun).

It seems we’ve made it a tradition t0 take a couple month’s hiatus after the draft to clear our minds. Well hopefully the hiatus is over. In just a few weeks, professional teams will be reporting to training camp, and college teams will be opening their seasons. And it’s about time. Baseball, basketball, and hockey are all great (well okay, maybe not hockey), but nothing beats anything affiliated with the National Football League.

There are so many promising storylines in this fresh NFL season that I had to make use of the website somehow before the 2010 NFL draft. Just off the top of my head, we have a Brett Favre conundrum (not that this is different from years past, or maybe the next five), a dieting LenWhale, and a host of players in unhappy situations. Fantasy football has always been one of my loves, so expect some fantasy posts scattered between now and the start of the season.

Oh, and by the way, we’re on twitter. Following me @sat2sun, as I’ll be “tweeting” about a variety of different issues. Hopefully we’ll be getting the twitter account more active, which obviously would mean more traffic sent to the website (which is good).

I’ll close my comeback post by saying expect a 2010 mock draft sometime before the end of the summer. I’m in no particular rush to get one done, but I would like to complete one in the pre-season to use as a reference point come April.

Welcome first time and returning readers. Our new mock draft was completed today ahead of schedule, I suggest all to check it out if you haven’t already. Maybe I’ll post some position rankings over the weekend.

Also, hopefully many of you have noticed the new banner I just put up for the 2009 NFL draft season. There are multiple versions of the banner, so you may see more than one by the time the draft rolls around.

I’ll close by saying we have once again edited our comment system. No longer will users be forced to register with the website to leave a comment. While it seemed like a good idea at first, there was simply not enough user activity for us to justify keeping the policy. Users can still register, though it’s not required in order to leave a comment.

That being said, comment away.

Hello loyal readers. I’m planning to post an updated mock draft around the weekend of the Superbowl. Our current mock draft is clearly out of date with the recent surprise decisions by some prospects (Sam Bradford, Taylor Mays, and Jermaine Gresham come to mind). Stay tuned.

Hello all. Just figured I’d post something since the calender read May the last time I posted something. Taking a little break from focusing about next year’s draft, as we did last year. Taking some time to enjoy the baseball and political seasons. With that being said, I started a 2009 NFL mock draft, but haven’t made explanations for the picks. Expect the first 2009 mock to come out later this month.

Don’t be surprised to see an NBA mock draft a week or two before the NBA draft. I’d say I know enough about college ball to throw together a first round mock.

I’ve finally finished making the finishing touches on our new website design. Back is a combination of our old three banners, as well as our old logo. I also added our old background to the blog, making it look a lot like our old site.
