While it's true Darren McFadden is looking more and more like a future Pro Bowl choice after clocking a scorching time of 4.27 seconds in the 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine, his Arkansas teammate, Felix Jones, would be a better fit for the Cowboys. To position themselves to draft McFadden, the Cowboys would have to part with their first-round picks (Nos. 22 and 28) plus a player or other picks. The high cost to crack the top five should make such a move prohibitive. Plus, this draft is deep with backs. Jones, meanwhile, is projected as a late first or second-round selection. Then there's this: Jones has the perfect temperament to share carries with Pro Bowl pick Marion Barber, a restricted free agent Dallas is sure to retain.

Because of Felix Jones' ability to return kicks and play in a two back offense, I'd prefer him to almost anyone else who's in this draft.

we have a kick returner already. the hype of felix came from trick plays and having the whole defense eyeing mcfadden in the wild hog formation. we do not want felix jones.

Just because he has the temperament to share the load does not make him a first rounder and a good fit for Dallas

I never thought about it that way, and probably should have. I think he is talented, but you bring up a very interesting point.

I would not mind Felix. But I am telling you guys. Jamaal Charles is who we need to be looking at. Youtube some highlights of both players. I would be happy with either but I think Charles is the right pick.

I like Jamaal Charles very much also, but I also believe he is a 2nd round pick, but he is talented. The problem with him was sometimes he was inconsistent but he really turned it on at the end of last year.

Felix is a better fit as a college RB in a gimmick offense than on any roster in the NFL.
