We can still get McFadden...

[malbis030347]

for all of us that are watching the Browns mess up the draft order for us next April, remember we have 2 first rounders so, depending on what the other 2-14 teams that will pick ahead of us, we can find the spot where we think the team will draft him and probably trade one of our first rounders or package some combo ......if that is the goal in getting out of the first round....we need cornerbacks ,too, like all teams... so that may be something to consider

[Doomsday101]

I would love to have him but I would not be willing to give up both #1's to do so.

i would.. our team isn't at the point that we need a bunch of guys. we need the best ones.. mcfadden is just that

While McFadden is a very good prospect, there is no need to give up additional draft picks to get thim, there are other RBs that are nearly as good or (imo, better suited to Cowboys scheme) that could be had in first round.

[Yeagermeister]

We need more than just a rb. McFadden would be great but there are other very good rbs that will be available without having to make a crazy trade.

We have some real needs on this team and no way do I want us to give both first rounders for McFadden.

We've got priority needs at CB/RB/WR. I'm holding off on DT to see how Ratliff continues to do and how much help Tank Johnson can do for us. Also Ferguson will be back next year for his final 2 years with us.

the problem is, i don't see another RB that is on, or near, the same level as Dmac.
it isn't like with lynch last year.

and how does Dmac not fit our system?

alot of teams need QBs and this is a deep QB draft, so trade value will be up, we can get a favorable and probobly keep our 1, and upgrade our other.

I say trade that #1 for a crapload of late 1's/2's, and 3's so we can get some secondary help in here.

Draft body count gives us a higher odds on hitting on quality/quantity, instead of rolling it up on one guy, and getting on our knees and praying he works out. IMHO

IMO, there is no doubt that Faddy doesn't give Jerry wood.....so therefore IMO, I can see the Cowboys trading a 1st and a 2nd to move up to get Faddy if necessary, and then after drafting him they would move down in the 1st round (take the best WR or CB available) with their other pick to get back into the 2nd round.....

It will take both #1's to move up high enough to get McFadden.

in case you have not seen our drafts of late, we regularly move down to get more picks not trade away our picks for some hot college prospect. Looks like it has been working fairly well. Just forget about mcfadden unless of course he is still there after we trade away one of our first rounders for more second round picks

You could be right! I forgot Cleveland wasn't stinking up the joint this year....

i don't think it will. clevelands schedule has been pretty weak(wins against miami/st.louis/baltimore/cinci), and does get a little bit tougher, and most of the bottom tear teams are happy at RB. you have to go up the list aways to find a team that would take a RB #1 and and a bunch of them want a QB so they will want to move down in this QB heavy draft.

I can see the Falcons taking a RB unless they give Hall the "Keyshawn"
Oakland may be inclined
Jets are a possibility even though they have bigger needs

I think the Falcons might just need a QB. The Brohm/Petrino connection is also there.

I think Oakland would jump all over him unless they go OL.
Miami has Brown and desperately need OL and D.
I agree on the Jets having bigger needs, but ya never know.

So who might take McFadden?
Jets, Raiders, Bengals, Texans, Bears, Eagles (ugh), Broncos, Cards, Skins (ugh-ugh).

Too many teams. he's pretty much as good as gone unless the Browns stop pulling this Buffalo Bills garbage and start losing.
