"Additional picks" would have to include both of those first rounders.If I'm Atlanta, I'd take Barber and two picks for the #2/#3 overall.
When you say nice, you should consider your audience. I don't think that would be nice for fantasy owners.
good point, but still that backfield would be fun to watch
But he's also a businessman which means he won't break the bank just for a new toy.
McFadden/JJ = AP/Chester
As a 'Skins fan I'd hate for the Cowboys to land McFadden, but such a trade would make huge sense for ATL.
You have to think that he would do it if he think McFadden is the missing piece of the SB puzzle. There's not a lot of holes on the Cowboys and surely Jones wants to get them another SB after a decade of being just another team in the NFL.
I think it comes down to whether JJ feels MBIII is capable of being an every down RB. The only piece to the puzzle the Cowboys are missing is figuring out how to avoid playing New England in the Super Bowl.
Because a franchise RB doesn't do much good running behind that awful line and no QB.Which would you rather have a) Barber/starting o-lineman/starting corner b) Darren McFadden
No. He signed today with Miami.
Amen.

This is all a myth anyway as there's no way those two teams are talking trade right now, especially with ATL being the mess it is.
I'm sure that right after the Parcells deal fell through, Rich McKay got on the phone and started trying to work this deal. 
as a cowboy fan I hope he does not. I think MBII is more than capable of being a #1 RB in the NFL. use the 2 first round picks for other needs
And JJ is a businessman but he likes his toys. A lot. Remember what that guy was spending pre-salary cap? He went out and signed who he wanted. Deion for $35 million?
Actually, probably. McFadden > ADPChester > JJIt may just even out here.
Oh, and since it was reported by Mort there is absolutely no chance this will happen. Remember that Vick wasn't going to be charged in this thing according to Mort the Dolt....

Nice rumor, but this deal couldn't go down until the day of the draft with McFadden still on the board.
Amen. Just like everyone was looking for the "next Marques Colston" last year, everyone's looking for the "next Adrian Peterson" this year.It's not gonna happen.Come on, are you trying to be funny on the boards or just trying to cause a stir?McFadden is not even close to the type of talent ADP is.

why not... hes proven himself as a great NFL back... I would trade that Pick for Barber +1 of those 1st roundersSopranos said:
Truly, you have a dizzying intellect.
My point was that, like Chester, JJ would be regulated to a COP back - not to compare the relative abilities of the four players.Come on, are you trying to be funny on the boards or just trying to cause a stir?McFadden is not even close to the type of talent ADP is.

And I think a very big reason for Atlanta trying to get out of that #2 or 3 spot is because if they don't get back Vick's money then they are screwed. They can't invest all that money for just one player (especially if he doesn't pan out).
Wait til I get going! Now, where was I?
Oh. I thought you were saying a McFadden/JJ combo was better than a AP/Taylor combo.Yes, I can see how their roles would be complimentary.
Wait till I get going.Oh, Redman, you beat me to it. Great movie.
I don't know...McFadden might be able to muster 34 carries for 81 yards down the home stretch...it could happen.Amen.

Its unlikely that Mcfadden can come in and do what Peterson has done. However, if someone would have said last year at this same time that AD was going to be as good or better than LT or SJax, that person would be getting laughed at. If Mcfadden somehow ends up on Dallas, i would be at least as optomistic for Mcfadden as i was for AD.Amen.

Okay. You've got me there.
I said he had Hall of Fame talent. No, I didn't think he'd be performing at a HOF level already.Look, I'm not disputing that McFadden's a great player - he is. I'm also not saying he wouldn't be a great fit to the Cowboys - he would be. I'm just saying that Jerry Jones isn't going to hinder his franchise for the next five years by breaking the bank just to acquire him.
He's impressed even me and I thought there was no question that he was going to be a stud. There's a lot of us who've been waiting for him to get to the NFL since he was in high school but even then I didn't expect him to go to a team like the Vikings with a top notch OL. The stars aligned to put one of the most talented RB's we've seen on a team tailor made for him.McFadden is a top talent but he's unlikely to go to a great running team like AP did.Its unlikely that Mcfadden can come in and do what Peterson has done.

I agree tht Mcfadden probably doesnt end up on the Cowboys. I was only disputing this:
I am not saying he will match AD's production, but he is at least as good a prospect as AD was coming into the NFL, so its possible he does, or at least gets close.
Adrian Peterson is starting in the Pro Bowl and leading the NFL in rushing yards per game. All of this "McFadden > Peterson" talk is nonsense. I'm not saying he's a bad player, but saying he's better than Peterson is like saying he's the best running back in the NFL. He hasn't earned that type of praise yet. I've mentioned in a few threads that I don't think this year's 1.01 rookie pick is the slam-dunk no-brainer people are making it out to be. It's easy to get caught up in draft hype without realizing how important situation is. What if McFadden goes to the Jets or the Falcons and Stewart and Mendenhall go to the Seahawks and Texans? Remember, once upon a time Larry Johnson, Shaun Alexander, Joseph Addai, and Steven Jackson were just average first round RB prospects. They landed on good teams and capitalized. We could see a similar situation this year with one of the backs drafted in the second half of the first round.
You have a good point, but I don't recall any of those million picks the Vikes gave up as key pieces to the Cowboys "dynasty" except Emmitt Smith. Much of that Oline was already there. Aikman and Irvin were there. Alot of the defense was built later via FA/trades (Sanders, Haley) and drafted with their own picks.mcjc4 said:
You would be mistaken. The Cowboys got several key, impact players due to stockpiling those picks:RB Emmitt SmithDT Russell MarylandCB Kevin SmithS Darren WoodsonCB Clayton Holmes
So are you saying that there was a scenario where you may have taken Lynch over Peterson pending who drafted them? In dynasty leagues i take talent, and there is no doubt that Mcfadden is "the talent" this year, as Peterson was last year. Am i saying Mcfadden is better than AD? No, but people act like it is ridiculous to even compare the two. Just like it would have been ridiculous to compare AD to LT last year.Adrian Peterson is starting in the Pro Bowl and leading the NFL in rushing yards per game.
