Gooses 2nd NFL Mock Draft

The NFL Season is about to begin:

This weekend is the NFL Draft and for the 1st time we will not be blessed with Mel Kiper Jr's Hair for 48 straight hours.

#1 Miami Dolphins- Jake Long OT Michigan
Not too much of a strech here as Long has already been signed sealed and delivered. This is a rock solid foundation and while not a flashy or sexy pick, most teams that value a solid oline have turned losing franchises into Super Bowl Contenders

#2 St. Louis Rams- Chris Long DE Virginia
Leanord Little is old, the rams defense is pourous and Chris Long is probably the best defensive player in the draft. He's 6-3 275 and ran the 40 in 4.75. Has good technique and hits the edge hard.

#3 Atlanta Falcons- Matt Ryan QB Boston College
Matt Ryan has two things going for him. He is a solid QB and he is not Michael Vick. This is a team in desperate need of a leader and a face, Ryan can fit the bill. A secondary strech could be Darren Mcfadden but I thing they need a QB most of all

#4 Oakland RaidersVernon Gholston DE/OLB Ohio State
If you watch Gholston play, you will see a mirror image of Terrell Suggs. A classic Tweener would fits perfectly as an OLB in a 3-4 or a DE in a 4-3....HOWEVER...look for Oakland to potentially trade this pick, trying to move down. They are Cap strapped and dont want to pay big money for a #4 pick

#5 Kansas City Chiefs- Glenn Dorsey DT LSU
If the Chiefs stay at #5 I think they take Dorsey. If they trade down they would look at Ryan Clady from Boise State. Their biggest need is OT but dorsey may be too good to pass up.

#6 N.Y. Jets- Darren McFadden RB Arkansas
McFadden is the type of back who will make Jets fans forget about Curtis Martin. Of course they already want to forget about Thomas Jones. He could be this years Adrian Peterson, hopefully not this years Blair Thomas

#7 New England Patriots- Mike Jenkins, CB South Florida
The Pats are always tough to get a read on. They would love Gholston but wouldnt trade up for him. They could take Ryan Clady if he drops. Jenkins in the #1 CB on the board and the loss of Asanti Samuel makes this a need pick

#8 Baltimore Ravens- Brian Brohm QB Louisville
The Ravens could wait until Round 2 or trade back into the late-1st to get a QB. New Coach John Harbaugh needs his franchise QB. Last time they waited they ended up with Kyle Boller.

#9 Cincinnati Bengals- Sedrick Ellis DT USC
LB was the biggest need however with Odell Thuman reinstated I think they go DT with this pick. Sedrick Ellis is a tough solid run stopper. Look for the Bengals to also potentially trade down.

#10 New Orleans Saints- Leodis McKelvin, CB Troy State
They wanted Jenkins and would take him if NE Passes. Either way they go CB with this pick. The pass defense was horrid last year and they need impact players

Now we choose the Lodge Teams picks:

#12 Denver Broncos Chris Williams, OT Vanderbilt
Matt Lepsis retirement forces the Broncos to fill a huge hole on the OL. Williams can play G and T but is more suited to be a RT. He'll find a home Cutting and Chop Blocking in Denver

#21 Washington Redskins Calais Campbell, DE Miami (FL)
Campbell filled a need at the pass rusher position and could be a sleeper pick this late in the draft. However his Miami ties will surely guarantee him some jail time sometime in the next 8-12 months. Mark my words.

#22 and #28 Dallas Cowboys
Devin Thomas, WR Michigan State, James Hardy, WR Indiana or Antoine Cason, CB Arizona at #22 (If any of them fall). Dominique Rogers-Cromartie, CB Tennessee State or DeSean Jackson, WR/KR California. Obviously the cowboys will be looking at CB and WR for their top 2 picks. I wont add more inforamtion because I simply dont care.

#25 Seattle Seahawks
Watch the Detroit and Arizona pick at 16 and 17 to determine the Seahawks moves here. If J Stewart and Rashard Mendenhall are gone, look for the Seahawks to potentially look OL or TE. Dustin Keller, Purdue and Fred Davis, USC are the two top TE's.
