...The New England Patriots select RB Darren McFadden from Arkansas.

The only team who could snag McFadden is the Jets, but they could draft a QB instead. The Dolphins need a QB and have Ronnie Brown. Rams have Stephen Jackson. I can see McFadden drop down to us in the top 5 like Adrian Peterson. If the Jets do take McFadden, I like Mike Hart or trade the pick. I want to see another RB to go with Maroney.

Is there anything this board hasn't covered? The bye was has caused us to talk about everything. I need some Red Sox news I think.

I don't think anyone has discussed their second round pick or two thirds.

No. Using a pick that high on a RB is not something I would like to see. I would much rather send it to the Cowboys and get multiple first round picks and maybe more.

I think that would be a wasted pick, regardless of the talent of the RB.

NO!!

Maroney is our running back, and after watching McFadden this guy is super fast but has less RB moves, and his legs are way too long to be a good NFL RB for a long time.

There's no way in hell the Pats use this pick. Kraft has said multiple times in the past that high first round picks are not economical.

Quote me on this. The Pats WILL NOT draft in the Top 10 of the 2008 NFL Draft.

the Draft is going to be easy for us to predict either A) we trade with Dallas getting there 2 first round picks and more maybe there firat next year then we trade one of those for a first next year or B) we trade down then trade down again then trade down a 3rd time untill we are in the 16-24 range and then make sure we gett another first rounder in 2009.


How great would it be if some how they manged to get 3 you read that right 3 first rounders next year.

There's this guy in Dallas who owns 2 1st round picks and happens to be a graduate of the Univ of Arkansas. He's a very egomaniacal kind of guy who loves making the BIG SPLASH even if he doesn't have a desperate need at running back. Might want to tuck that little tidbit into the back of your mind until Draft day.
