Goose's NFL OffSeason and Draft Predictions

So it seemed the Lodge was dead...and i wasn't even checking it daily until Train sent me a message about the resurgence. Now it looks like the flat lining Lodge may have a pulse, and being the resident Lodge Ball coach I figure we needed a little Football just before the draft. Lets also address some Off Season Football news as well

1. Jay Cutler. The trade itself will probably work out for all teams. Denver gets Three high draft picks and Chicago gets its 1st established QB since Sid Luckman. On a side note to Jay Cutler...quit your bitchin and whining, answer your F'n phone when your coach and GM calls, realize that you have only 1 of 32 NFL Starting QB Jobs this year and stop acting like a god damn prima donna. They explored other option. Big deal. Wait till your ass gets boo'd in the Windy city (Where you have no WR's...by the way)

2) TO to Buffalo. Hopefully the last stop in this Pain in the Ass career. Will teams PLEASE stop signing him?

3)Matt Cassell to KC. Man beware of this KC team in a year or 2....they could be REALLY good.

4) The 100 million dollar man....Albert Haynesworth. So on the 1st hour of FA in 2009, the skins sign Big Al to a 7 year 100million dollar contract. I as much as anyone value a big run stuffing DT more than anyone, I foresee three injury plagued years and a huge 2014 cap hit to the Skins when Al is released.

5) Corey Dillion Part 2. Fred Taylor is in New England...and he's pissed.

Now on to Goose's 2009 Mock Draft

I'll list TOP 5...then go over some general things to look out for in the draft

1- Detroit Lions: Matt Stafford, QB, Georgia

2- St. Louis Rams: Eugene Monroe, OT, Virginia

3- Kansas City Chiefs: Aaron Curry, ILB, Wake Forest

4- Seattle Seahawks: Jason Smith, OT, Baylor

5- Cleveland Browns: Brian Orakpo, DE/OLB, Texas

Lets talk Seahawks. 1st. I could potentially see the Hawks trading out of #4. Look for the Redskins to try to move into the top 8 to draft Mark Sanchez. If the Hawks do trade down, look for them to draft OT/OG. Then look at QB in Round 2 or 3. Also look for them to take a high choice for a BIG Cornerback. If the Hawks stay at #4. I think they take either Monroe or Smith...the top 2 OT's. Funny thing there is 5 or 6 mock drafts I saw and none of them show the Hawks taking the same player. Crabtree , Orakpo, Sanchez were all predicted picks. My choice if he falls past #3 would be to draft Aaron Curry. The man is a monster at LB. They could still end up with Sanchez...but I have my doubts.

Denver- may be one of those teams looking to move up if Sanchez drops around the 8-9 spot. If not look for Denver to draft defense. Tyson Jackson, DE, LSU or B.J. Raji, DT, Boston College.

Dallas - Dallas traded its #1 to Detroit in the Roy Williams Trade. They will have a hard time rebuilding this year after that trade, losing 1st and third rd choices.

Its nice to see the Lodge making a comeback. For those of you interested. I am looking for some new coaches over at Newport. Start putting your Football knowledge to good use.

Jay Cutler's (Not) Favorite Person

"It's always something with him. He's not my favorite person right now... He's had many wakeup calls. He's been in [coach Mike] Shanahan's office many times. I've been up there with him and he's said the same thing: 'it's a wakeup call.' Blah, blah, blah. Until he goes out and proves it, we'll see what happens."
