You know what's even more laughable than using a pick on McFadden? Your post count. What's the matter? Not much to do... ever? Tell me, Mr. Genius, if McFadden falls into your lap at #7, what prevents you from taking him? And if you say his character issues, I'm going to find you and slap the taste out of your mouth for being so completely ******ed.
EDIT: Oh, and what makes you think that Jackson is the automatic option for #2 receiver or the answer at that? His huge abundance of playing time since we've drafted him? Sounds more like hope that he'll gel than confidence that he's the sure-fire #2 option to me. With almost 10,000 posts (completely riciculous amount), you should be able to comprehend that you should know what you're talking about before opening your mouth.
Guess I touched a nerve in the idiot corps here. Especially on that is ignorant enough to resort to friggin post count in ANY sort of argument. Listen dumbarse, I've been around here for several years. And my post count being nearly 10,000 means NOTHING except to idiots like yourself who can't actually form a decent argument.
1) What stops me from taking McFadden is NEED. The Patriots don't NEED him and, honestly, he'd be redundant as he has similar running style to Maroney. The object is to have DIFFERENT running styles with your RBs
2) What also stops me from taking McFadden is the ability to trade down, which the Patriots will be able to do.
3) What ALSO stops me from drafting McFadden is how friggin OVER-RATED he is by the ignorant people of the world. McFadden = Reggie Bush part 2.
4) OH btw, McFadden DOES have character issues. And they would keep the Patriots from drafting him. So, mr. Toughguy STFU and come find me.
4) Jackson is an "automatic option" (meaning he'll compete) for the #3 position (Welker is the number 2 receiver. Do you even follow the Patriots?) is the fact that the Pats traded up for him and spent a 2nd rounder to get him. Also, the fact that his 2nd injury (the ACL) happened in the end of January 2007. With a normal recovery time of 12-18 months, any intelligent person KNEW that Jackson was going to be a non-factor in 2007. Jackson should be ready to go come TC. The Pats aren't going to spend ANOTHER 2nd round pick on a WR when they have guys like Gaffney on the team also. Its a TOTAL waste of a pick.
5) Manningham isn't all that. As others have pointed out to you.
Kontradiction, you really should follow your own advice and keep your ignorant mouth shut.
No wonder you got your arse beat down by EVERYONE in this thread.
