Jets high on McFadden

For what its worth...Also says that having Thomas Jones doesn't mean they wouldn't draft McFadden.

It would be huge if our pick could somehow be #2, because we really could hold the pick ransom for McFadden...But of course the Dolphins will probably be able to do the same thing at #1 if a team really loves him.

Also, if I were the Jets and McFadden was on the board...

I would trade back a few spots, pick up a 3rd rounder, and take Chris Long...They have some issues on offense obviously, but to me they have good skill guys (save a QB) and need an OL...

If they get Long, they have a stud DL, a stud LB (Harris), a stud CB (Revis) and a stud S (Rhodes)...That's the makings of a really good defense.

Even if the Jets had Jim Brown while he was in his prime, I doubt he could get more than 800 yards behind that OL. The Jets OL is Mangold and the 4 hacks. Those two tackles are weak and the OGs are even worse.
The Jets need 2 quality NFL starting calibre OG's before even thinking about putting an expensive RB out there.

While this may be true, the jets tried this approach a couple of years ago. They used a top pick for a medicre offensive lineman.

I was frustrated when the niners won over cinci, knocking us from the #2 spot closer to #5. But, I dont think that's such a bad thing, anymore.

There is a plateau of talent after McFadden and Dorsey which runs half a dozen players deep.

CLong is highly regarded, but how much of a dropoff is there, really, between him and Calais Campbell as a prospect? Campbell is taller and longer, which is something BB likes in his pass rushers because it puts the tipped pass into play.

If we pick at #4, at least one of McFadden, Dorsey, Long and Long will drop. I think we could take any one of them and be quite pleased with the pick, both near and long term.

You've made your point. If indeed there is a plateau after the first six, then I think that I'd like to get one fo the first six. I agree that it wouldn't be terrible to be 5th, but 8th or 10th might mean a considerable drop in talent.

everyteam is gonna be high on him. hes a great back..a team like the Chargers will be high on him even with LT..why? Because its great talent and everyone appreciates it. doesnt mean they'll take him though

I was hearing from sources, the Rams may look to trading out of the number 2 spot if Miami does not select McFadden. Cap wise is the reason.

If I were the Rams GM, I would rather trade down, and hope to get Vernon Gholston.

Carriker is playing DT for you? if so..i think him and Wroten are gonna be very good in future. Hows Wroten doing btw? what about Victor Avendaju..(spelling)

looks like u have a good future DL. Shouldnt u draft an OL like Long/Otah/Cherrilous in round 1? Pace is getting older and injury prone..you have weapons on O but our OL injuries are killing u

Victor Adeyanju is a solid run defender, but not really a pass rusher. But the one problem we have, the Rams got no pass rushers. James Hall has been banged up. And Leonard Little is showing some age. I do feel there is some quality OLinemne in the later rounds, like Heath Benedict OT Newberry, who I like for us to grab in round 3. I do feel that Pace's health will be questioned, but I can see us signing a free agent OT like Max Starks of the Steelers or Sean Locklear of the Seahawks to fill the gap, and Alex Barron could play some OT as well. But as most know, real good pass rushers are really hard to find, and as I mentioned, with Little's health in question, we will als be on the hunt for a pass rushing guy, and Gholston in my mind fits the bill.
