So before McFadden there wasn't a best Razorback player to enter the NFL since Jones was an owner?

In the end it probably won't matter. Dalls doesn't control it's destiny in getting McFadden. The odds are not in their favor either. Consider this about the Browns:2006- 4-12. 4 games lost by 7 or fewer points.2005- 6-10. 5 games lost by 7 or fewer points.You could argue that they are going to be better this year when you consider they upgraded their O-line and QB. You might even argue they upgraded their RB. But I can't imagine they won't be a better football team. Especially if they get Bentley back. That would be huge. And if they get Winslow too then they will be a better team. No way they finish in the bottom 2-3 teams. I would be surprised. And you have to think McFadden is gone by the 2nd, if not the first pick.I wasn't really caring about the actual 18, just that Clayton threw out 18 first day (not first round to be clear) picks like it was a lot. That is 1 first day pick per year of Jones' 18 year tenure. Heck, with only 3 picks out of @ 90 and positional needs, it is entirely possible that he might have liked those guys but didn't get good chances at them. It may show that Jones isn't an overzealous homer, but it sure doesn't contradict that he might be watching McFadden a bit more because of the Arkansas connection.
That's my point. McFadden is poised to be the best Razorback player to enter the NFL since Jones was owner, by quite a bit. Just because he hasn't drafted any of the lesser and smaller number of other Razorbacks, doesn't mean he won't place McFadden higher on his board because he helped restore the Razorbacks to national prominence.

You're assuming a certain level of sanity and self-control that I personally doubt that Jerruh has as the GM. I'd point out that Jerruh, like McFadden, is a Razorback. That can only add to McFadden's allure to Jerruh IMHO.

I think you miss the premise, or my premise anyway. I'm thinking it would take both CLE and DAL #1 picks to move to the top of the draft to get him. I don't know that most people in this thread are saying CLE will be so bad that they'll be picking in the top 3. More that a pick around 10 and a pick around 30 is likely enough to move up to 2-3.In the end it probably won't matter. Dalls doesn't control it's destiny in getting McFadden.

I'm pretty sure you know what I'm saying and trying to use silly grammar isn't going to make your argument hold any water.benson_will_lead_the_way

I don't think McFadden will even be the first RB taken off the board

I don't understand the backlash about this car. He's a kid, just like you were in your early twenties and is entitled to spend whatever money he makes on whatever he wants. For those who say it looks stupid, if he can pick girls up with it just on recognition that its his car, its totally worth it. Its like driving an ice-cream truck around campus and having the entire campus know its yours. I bet even some of you hags could nail some prime tail with that.

and who will? Mike Hart, Slaton? No wayI don't think McFadden will even be the first RB taken off the board

I'd say Johnathan Stewart is a better natural runner and a better fit at RB for most conventional rushing schemes, but McFadden certainly is the best RB prospect this year. That said, I wouldn't be surprised that, years from now, either Slaton or Stewart is having a better pro career. Dark horse being James Davis.and who will? Mike Hart, Slaton? No wayI don't think McFadden will even be the first RB taken off the board

Well you learn to hedge your bets.Mentioning 20% of the league certainly helped your chances.Huh. The blind squirrel (Me) picked up a nut.
But Atlanta, Houston, and Tennessee did all target RBs in the offseason as well. Would be interesting to see what Atlanta would have done had they not gotten Turner.

lol @ "teams who won't have a high enough pick to take him" ...some were bad- but at least none were bad enough (high enough) to be in a position to take McFadden!Not sure why they included Jets in that category, but I have a feeling this OP might have Thomas Jones in two dynasties.

I take this statement back.
I've changed my mind about DMac. I'm a J. Stewart fan now, thanks to M=S.

Whats suprising is that there is a Mcfadden thread three pages long and EBF has not posted Mcfaddns BMI or told us how skinny his legs are.
