If McFadden drops to #22, Dallas should take Chris Johnson - Dallas Cowboys Forum

nathanlt · 03-14-2008

I think that Chris Johnson would fit better than McFadden in Dallas. Marion Barber is a viciously tough runner, and Chris Johnson clearly is the change of pace back that would complement him. McFadden is a better pure running back than Chris Johnson, however, with the 4.24 forty time, Chris does a presnap shift to slot reciever, and suddenly, opposing defenses have to contend with a deion sanders speed at WR. I'll admit, Chris Johnson does not have any blocking capability to speak of, but with his versatility, has a slight edge over McFadden.

Besides, he's not dropping to #22 anyway, who are we kidding? Chris Johnson is a bargain at #22.

Yea, but it's an incredibly stupid opinion. That's why it sucks.

No, the responses/posts that suck are ones that criticize the substance of a premise without laying out a counterpoint.

Not only is it rude but also arrogant.

I might have to revive my "Don't like the Schitick? Don't read it, Blutto!" quote

I think Chris Johnson falls to mid to late 2nd round.

I really like this kid, but taking him in the first would upset me here.

CB, WR, then RB. In that order.

Seriously, a Deion Sanders type wide reciever would garner enough attention by himself at #22. Chris Johnson is an unbelievable speed back and lightning fast WR. He is underrated.

I'm serious.

What makes you think McFadden can't play receiver or return kicks just as well as Johnson? McFadden has good hands and he has exceled at times on kick returns.

Just pick up Michael Bennett when he's released in a few weeks. He supposedly ran a 4.19 .. he must be teh awesomes !!!

Yeagermeister · 03-15-2008

The only way I'm for drafting DMac is if he did slide to #22 but it won't happen.

If we could get him and still get one of the top cb's I

edit: And not give up MBIII

I'm an ECU alum and season ticket holder, so I'm pretty much betting I'm the biggest Chris Johnson homer on this board.

Even I think that is a bad idea.

Personally, I'd love it if CJ was a Cowboy and I honestly think he would be a great fit in this offense with Barber. He will be a DANGEROUS return man wherever he goes. However, I still have my doubts about him being a 1st round pick.

I think he is a solid 2nd round talent, but may get picked in the 1st due to someone falling in love with that speed.

Well, if he is underrated enough that Dallas could pick him in the 2nd, that would be great. But the fact that he fills two needs at RB and WR with just one pick would be great for this year. If a player can contribute that much to a team, he would be a legitmate 1st round pick.
