For all those wanting to see us move up in the draft to get McFadden..Read This !!

[Redball Express]

A very interesting story about what teams look at when looking at moving up into the Top 5 or Top 10 draft picks..i.e for a McFadden-type deal.

Hmmm...

High risks, high costs associated with high picks

I want nothing to do with McFumbles

He is the RB equivalent of Michael Vick. His game is not going to fly in the NFL when there are 11 Big fast guys zero'ing in on him.

The top 10 rookie salaries every year should be enough to make any team shy away from the "surest" player in the draft. You've handicapped yourself for four or five years to gamble on one player that's never taken a snap in the NFL. We do this...and we're stupid.

Yeap and wouldn't fix our most glaring need. McFadden would be a luxury pick. We already have Barber. We need help in the secondary more than two high priced rb's.

Don't worry, I'm sure your Patriots would rather draft Gholston anyway.

Luckily for McFadden, he won't have to throw the ball much.

Not only that, but with a good O-line a descent RB can look like a stud. There are very few game changing RB in the NFL, and if your ultimate goal is to win a superbowl I think the money can be better spent in other areas, that is why it makes sense to keep MBIII and spend on WR and CB.

Besides we are a big passing team with a really good going on great QB. Why have 2 expensive RBs but leave Romo with only big time WR TO. We need to spend a first rounder on BPA at WR who we can team opposite TO. We also need speed the other first rounder on a top CB. A RB can wait til the 2nd or 3rd rounds.

Hopefully we can somehow get Jevon Walker cheap. Because of injury concerns, maybe we can get him cheap for 1 year so he can rack up good numbers opposite TO while our young drafted WR has time to develop his necessary skills to become the starter we need. If Walker wants to move on after his 1 year, then our young player should be more then ready to step in opposite TO and show all he has learned. However, to get Walker cheap, we can't trade for him cause then we got to pay his big SB on March 4. Broncos must cut Walker before March or they gotta pay him.
