I don't know if this rumor is based on anything than wild speculation, however, count me in as a big fan of Lamar Miller. I think he could be a 1400-1500 yard rusher in Dallas.

A guy I would love to get is Bernard. True 3 down back. However they arent going to let him go cheap, and if we wanted to trade an excess lineman to soften the draft pick blow, they wont be interest as they have a strong line and Leary wouldnt start over Zietler or Boling

Knile Davis may be the best value as we can get him for a late mid rounder ( fifth) has an outstanding size/speed ratio a d can return kicks as well

Cincinnati isn't trading G. Bernard. He's a perfect compliment to Jeremy Hill. He's cheap, young and most importantly he performs great for them.

D. Martin may be the most realistic target, followed by Lamar Miller and then Kniles Davis.

Miller had over 200 carries last season and averaged over 5 yards a carry. But hey, you're "he sucks" analysis is quite in-depth and persuasive.



One thing I've learned on this board... Generally speaking there is no "middle ground".

Players are either "great" or they "suck".

Don't quite understand it myself.

Can't imagine why KC would part with Davis. They love the guy--as they should.

Agreed. Bernard and Hill form a nice one-two punch.

I'd like to see something similar in Dallas.

Ok maybe I was too harsh..

He's just not anything that special.


This is good for some of you guys that think RB is sooooo important until you look around the league and see there is only 4 or 5 good backs in the entire league and most of them play on bad teams.

Don't worry so much about the RB. We got what is really important.

I can't either.

He still has 2 years to go on his contract and the contract is paying him LESS than $1 mil per season.

He's a heck of a bargain for KC.

I'd love a lot of the guys mentioned. My wish list in order:

1. AD
2. Lamar Miller
3. Kniles Davis
4. Doug Martin

I think all of them would be an interesting upgrade over who we have. Except maybe Martin. He worries me.

Would take in a heartbeat...

He played for the U in college so just like Duke Johnson who came out in this draft he is very comfortable in the zone scheme

McFadden has not broken 3.4 yards a carry in how many years?

Yea, McSuck is clearly better:rolleyes:
Your logic doesn't take into account this highlight video




Would you like to continue debating? ?????

He said yesterday that he's gonna make team regret passing on him.
Not unusual to say, but as a 5th rounder, he's probably right.
The guy may end up being the main starter for Miami

All things considered equal, I think that he's the best RB in this years draft. This RB class feels a lot like the year that AP (Gurley) and Lynch (Ajayi) were coming out, nobody thought much of Lynch, but he's turned out to be the better of the two.

I think maybe I read that wrong...or maybe you misspoke?
Lynch's career has been better than Adrian Peterson's?

Regardless, I do agree that Ajayi--if his injuries don't fell him--could easily be a huge steal.
