I expect them too at least ctahc up om him.

I feel like McFadden has all the right tools but not the right head on his shoulders.

Ok, here's a little scenario, the top 6 goes like this:


Long
Long
Ryan
Dorsey
Otah
Gholston


No one wants to trade up, do you take BPA (McFadden) or need (McKelvin, Groves, Cromartie)??

I'm certainly not opposed to trading up - especially to grab a game changing LB that BB is sure fits our system.

But I think at #7 you make sure you take a guy who is as close to a sure fire 100% blue chip NFL player as possible.

If you have a need at CB and have any doubt about the players available to you (especially given our DB system that doesn't require game breakers) and have a choice between that and a game changing player at RB or any other game changing position, you take him.

In the worst case scenario you have an RB who you can trade for value.

Make damn sure if McFadden is there at 7 someone (COUGH! Jerry Jones) would blow a nut to get him. I dont see the Pats giving anyone a really hard deal to pass up either. I dont think theyd ask for the sky.

I'd love to take 22 and 28 and pick up like Jenkins and Mayo.

Then again let's just stop and think that maybe McFadden is indeed really good.

A Backfield consisting of Mcfadden, Maroney & Morris would be absolutely unstoppable to go along with our passing game supreme.

Maybe we just take the guy and move right on...

How do you split carries for Maroney and McFadden? Doesn't Maroney deserve to finally be the full-time back?

[jeffbiologist]

1-We dont want his fumbles
2-We dont want anyone blindsiding Brady from a missed block
3-We dont want to change the most prolific offense and take balls away from established playmakers
4-We DO want him going to the JETS
See you in the backfield DMF!

I love Maroney and yes he does deserve to be full time.

That said, there is always room for talent, at any position.

I mean if he is there and nobody is trading - my goodness, how do you pass on that potential talent??

WHAT IF HE IS REALLY SPECIAL AS MANY ARE SAYING???
