6 NY Jets Vernon Gholston OLB Ohio St
7 New England Darren McFadden RB Arkansas
Either the Oakland Raiders or the New York Jets will definitely grab McFadden. I'm in total agreement with your assessment.The Raiders will probably go ape sh*t over this, and use their top 5 pick on him. In any case, I wish Pats fans would stop talking about the guy. Know this, they WILL NOT select him, if he makes it that far. He likely will not make it that far, and the Jets would take him, or trade out of their pick so the Cowboys or some other team could move up for him.
Oh, and Big man Jonathan Stewart just ran a 4.44 at 235lbs. I really like him, too.
I would not be happy with that draft, and what makes you think McFadden will make it to seventh considering many felt he wouldn't be available at seven before the Combine, let alone after running a 4.27?
Doubt it.
The New England Patriots already have the best offense in NFL history. Meanwhile the Patriots defense will have cornerback departures via unrestricted free agency and possible retirements at the inside linebacker position.
I think your analysis is spot on. I would like to see the Jets take him rather than having to worry about them having Gholston coming after TB. The Jets would be smart to pass on McFadden. They aren't beating the Pats until the can stop our offense.it could happen never said it would. Miami wont take him they have alot of RBs and Parcells wont do it. STlouis has Steven Jackson. Atlanta he could easily go there. They could go with Matt Ryan too. Oakland just resigned Fargas and has Michael Bush in the wings, i bet they go with one of the two big DTs. KC has Larry Johnson plus they wont pass on Jake Long or Clady.
So that leaves the Jets. McFadden could easily go there Thomas Jones is a scrub. Mangini might want to go defense for the 3-4 and Gholston could be a realistic pick.
So it depends on Atlanta really, they need to take Ryan for McFadden to fall. Also wouldnt rule out some team trading up. I think our #7 spot is the lowest McFadden could fall.
The New England Patriots will most likely trade down from #7 as has been the case with trading first round draft picks in 2003 and 2007.theres no CB would the #7 spot. McFadden is BPA and we could use another RB actually. If McFadden is on the board the pats will take him or they will trade the pick to some team for a fortune, like Dallas.

I don't know about needing another running back. Morris and Maroney are signed long term, and Kevin Faulk is probably the best third down back in the league. That's a lot of money to play a guy who won't bring much value to the Pats early on...theres no CB would the #7 spot. McFadden is BPA and we could use another RB actually.

I doubt McFadden gets past the Oakland Raiders. Al Davis has always been obsessed with collegiate players who have speed.i wouldnt mind trading down from 7 either, id take McFadden over trading down though. Id trade down if McFadden, JLong, CLong are all off the board.

I'm not trying to be dense here, but how exactly? What does he bring to the table that Maroney, Morris, Faulk, Evans, and Eckel don't?
