What happens IF Felix Jones started and Darren McFadden Back-up at Arkansas? (FANS?)

[RealCowboyfan]

Do you think Felix Jones goes with the 4th Pick and Darren McFadden goes with the 22nd pick?

Give me some of your thoughts?

 

[Nexx]

if he averaged 9 yards per carry like he did, felix would have been the #1 pick.

Maybe the best GM in the past 25 years.

"If Felix Jones played for West Virginia," said Polian, "you'd be talking about him in the same breath as Mendenhall and Stewart. He only suffers by comparison to the guy he's playing with."


Jones, if the starter at Ark. would have played his way into the top 10.

If Felix had started at Arkansas then I think Mendenhall probably would have gone 4th to Pittsburgh in a trade up with Oakland.

7.6 and maybe so...

the entire arkansas coaching staff would be fired.

One can only speculate and frankly, it's pointless. Let's support the kid 100%.....he's a great kid and a very good RB. He's gonna blow Julius out of the water.

I read Felix Jones has great work habits according to Houston Nutt

Right before we picked him Jerry asked Wade which he would like more and Wade was like "we know this guy is a hard worker."

Thats a big deal with us. We know Felix will give it his all.

Dallas got the guy they wanted. When they weighed their options they just felt more comfortable with F. Jones and it seems many who covered the draft liked the pick as well.

:laugh2:

Great line and exactly right.

Felix is great and we have every reason to be excited about him...but don't go trying to convince yourself he's better than McFadden. He's not and never will be.

True but as they said on NFL Network the odds are Felix will make a quicker impact in the NFL than DMAC for the simple reason that the Raiders have a lot of talent issues and DMAC will constantly see 8 and 9 man fronts until the Raiders can make teams pay for stacking the line. Felix on the other hand comes to a team who was one of the best offenses in the NFL and has a lot of talent in place.

This won't be the first time DMac has senn 8 and 9 man fronts. Hell, he's seen 10 and 11 man fronts with Casey Dick at QB. Don't be afraid to grab DMac in your fantasy draft. He'll have an impact from Day 1.

I think DMAC will have a great career but I agree with the analyst on this one and think Felix will have a bigger impact in his 1st year than DMAC. Facing 8 and 9 man front in college is a bit different than the Pros. Raider are a bad team and unless Russell can actually step up and do the job DMAC I think will struggle for yards to start his career. In the long haul I think DMAC will show himself as the hands down better RB

Why are people making all these posts to justify our picks?

if M Bennet went to X school, he would be a first-round pick.

If Felix was a starter in somewhere, he would be a top-10 pick.

......

Both picks suck!!!Bascially we replace J JOnes (his 10 carres per game) and Fasano with two shining draftees who will probably perform the same. It is almost like people trade in their cars and take a loss. They feel better because their new cars are Newer.

 

[This is Our Year]

The more I think about this Felix Jones pick I like it. Simple reasoning, if Felix plays like JJ did his rookie year which is the type of running style I hope he brings key phrase rookie season, we will have one hell of a back field.

Plus, anyone else think Jones might start so MBIII can keep his current role?
