Defensive end Gaines Adams (the No. 4 overall selection) to a six-year, $45.8 million contract that includes $18.5 million worth of guaranteed money.

So basically the #4 pick would be slotted into about 7M per year. That is considerably less money than the #2 pick would get. Calvin Johnson, the #2 overall pick, signed a 6 year 64M deal with a 27.2M signing bonus.

So SF winning that bizarre game over the Cards actually did us a favor in a way.

(Woops, please move this to draft forum.)

Why don't you and McFadden get a room?

If McFadden is taht good...u think hell drop to 4???
im asking cuz i have no idea, but it sound to me like McFadden is this years CJ....the best player in the draft, but a QB will go before him...

so, where is McFadden predicted to go?

Won't be there at #4.

After last night I'm now on the "trade way down and save the money to try re signing Asante" bandwagon.

I was looking at the top 4 teams.

#1 Miami - Ronnie Brown
#2 Jets - Thomas Jones
#3 Rams - Steven Jackson
#4 Patriots - Maroney

Teams 1 and 3 already have franchise RBs.
The Jets are the only real threat to take McFadden.
So if the Jets pass on Mcfadden, which they might since they draft pretty badly.
Would there then be any objections to taking McFadden at the #4 slot?

See above reasoning. This year 2 of the 3 teams drafting above the Pats already have their franchise RBs in place.
So it's possible McFadden could slip to #4, which would make him a steal imo.

Who knows what Brown will be like when he comes back, but I don't think Miami will take McFadden unless the plan on letting Brown walk.

I really don't see McFadden lasting until 4. Too many teams will try to move up to get a franchise type running back.

Well it's hard to project who will try to leapfrog the Patriots into say slot #2 or #3. That's a draft day warroom kind of scenario. I'm just saying that right now, sitting at #4, assuming nobody leapfrogs us, doesn't that make McFadden an excellent value?

Keep in mind that those salaries are slotted both by # and position. McFadden will get a much better deal than that of Gaines Adams.

Did you watch the game last night? We need some new blood on Defense.
I hope we trade down and get 2 players such as CB and LB
