Steve Slaton had a good game as well.

16 rushes for 109 yards and 3 TDs. 2 catches for 61 yards and 1 TD.

man, so many good backs to choose from next April

McFad
Slaton
Rice
James Davis

Assuming they all come out, yes....All are Jrs.

Tashard Choice is another good RB.

For sure!! Very few talk about him, but he's coming off a great year and a big game against ND(169-2 rushing) and if he stays healthy he'll lead the Conf in rushing. He's flying under the radar right now, but by combine time he'll be well known.

Plus Jonathan Stewart of Oregon has to be considered in any top list of RBs that could go high next spring.

just knowing we have a realistic shot at this horse makes me feel all warm and cuddly inside.

That's what they said about Blair Thomas(#2 overall) in 1990. Ray Rice could be the next Emmitt and Slaton could be the next Dorsett. Even though i want DMac, i wouldn't turn my nose up at the other top backs, if they come out.

i like slaton and rice(in that order) but would just rather have dmac. this guy reminds me of LT everytime i see him play. LT will go down atleast stat wise as the greatest rb to ever play barring injury

I agree. McFadden is an exciting player.

But I think he reminds me more of Reggie Bush....the versatility.

I guess i don't see LT in him. LT is 4 inches shorter and has a much more compact style. . To me DMac with his 6-2 inch frame(and he'll probably end up being 220 some day) and his upright style reminds me of Larry Johnson.

If you want a Bush next year, Slaton is your man.

If we have a chance to draft McFadden, I'd rather trade down and try to improve our draft status for the year after and maybe even the year after that.

It's also such a deep RB class that either Slaton, Rice, or Felix Jones later in the first would be a great consolation prize.

Here would be my dream 1st rd. situation:
We have the #1 overall which we trade to a team w/ a top 3 or 4 pick who wants to trade up to get Brohm.
When it comes our time to pick and McFadden is still available, we trade down again to a team desperate to grab McFadden. We then take either Jones or Slaton later in the 1st.

If we get the #1 pick and trade down to #3-4 and DMac is still on the board and we trade down AGAIN, i will drive to Dallas a OFF Jerry.

After watching GT's Tashard Choice today, I respectfully add him to the list...

This is a RB that you don't want Denver to get. This kid gets the concept of being a RB...

College RB's rarely overly impress me... Choice overly impressed me today...

I was much more impressed with GTech's OL. Choice had some HUGE lanes to run through today.
