McFadden to Dallas?

http://nwanews.com/blogs/slophouse/2008/01...-pick-possible/

Interesting

Being a long, long time Cowboys fan, I would love this. A good point for Mcfadden would be the Cowboy Organization keeps a close eye on their players off the field, as well as on it. D-mac would probably get a fulltime "security chaprone" assigned to him.

Espn seems to think it will happen. If Jerry really wants D-mac, then it will happen. What better way to boost ticket sales than to bring down an Arkansas star.

If Dallas gives up a 1st round pick and Barber for McFadden they have lost their minds.

I could learn to be a Cowboys fan!

Why???

Because they get an immediate impact star similar to Adrian Peterson for the Vikings with a longer shelf life and potential than Barber.

The Cowboys need a RB that can develop into a true threat and can compliment the Romo-TO passing attack. Barber will never have that impact.

I completely disagree with you on this one. I think it would be extremely wise for Jerry to make a move for McFadden, not to mention what it will do for ticket sales.

Drafting McFadden (who should have been the 2nd 2-time winner of the Heisman behind Archie Griffin, not a 2 time runner up) will put the Cowboys in the Super Bowl within 3 years.

RB's in the NFL draft are too plentiful, too many RB's in the NFL were later round picks. You can't afford to trade away a proven RB in Barber and another 1st rounder for an unproven(in the NFL) commodity.

The cowboys need to look at WR and the defensive side of the ball. They might even look at F.Jones at their pick in the first to take J.Jones slot.

And no, McFadden as great as he is didn't deserve the Heisman this year, it went to the person who deserved it the most.

I would LOVE it if mcfadden went to dallas... this would be great

Whatever........you must be a biased ASU fan who didn't pay attention to anything other than the media hype surrounding the Heisman race.

McFadden has the best chance to be Rookie of the Year (given the team that drafts him) next year and you want to possibly give that up to keep Barber and go after a WR or defensive player? nearsports/0c4fae0e.gif

I can take comfort in knowing that you're not developing the Cowboys draft strategy.

Draft is all about potential, not necessarily year 1. Barber does not have more potential than McFadden. That is why Mario Williams (in hindsight) has been the better draft choice over Reggie Bush, his development and fit in the NFL

Reggie was a RB that excelled with a strong supporting cast and has struggled in the NFL. McFadden, on the other hand, essentially won at least 4 SEC games by himself (without him, Hogs don't win).....not to mention blowing up LSU 2 years in a row, a defense loaded with NFL talent.

Jerry is drafting potential, and he already knows that he's not making it to the Super Bowl with Barber at the helm. NO better potential in this year's draft than MCFADDEN!!

No, I'm actually a fan of both teams that has the ability to see what is real. If you take off your hog colored glasses long enough to look at the numbers you will see Tebow was the only choice. As good a year as McFadden had(and it was a good one) it didn't compare to the freakish numbers Tebow put up.

I love how some hog fans believe if you thought Tebow deserved the Heisman then you must be a hog hater.

I'm not getting into another Heisman debate, that's long gone. Who cares....

My point is that to bypass McFadden, if you are Jerry Jones, so you can keep Barber and go after a WR or defensive back makes absolutely NO sense.

You can talk about all of the RB's that go early that don't make it....and you're right. But what you don't mention is that because they are drafted so high, they go to the worst teams. The backs selected in the 2nd and 3rd round go to extraordinary teams so, of course, they are going to excel earlier.

Put McFadden with the Cowboys, a post-season caliber team already with a considerable passing threat, and DMAC is rookie of the year.

French 543. I disagree with your simplistic outlook toward RB's in the NFL draft. McFadden is a Pro-Bowl bound RB in the making......deal with it.

It makes no sense to keep a Pro Bowl RB and go get you a possible future Pro Bowl WR or DB. It makes no sense to draft toward a need... Hmm....... nearsports/doh.gif

You keep trying to make it sound like I don't think McFadden is any good. He could very well be rookie of the year no matter where he goes. I'm just saying the Cowboys need other position players a lot more than they need a RB.

But with JJ running the show who know what could happen.

I agree with french on this one.

I don't think you are downplaying McFadden, I just think he would be a wise choice. Look at AP, he was drafted relatively low by the Vikings and is already making noise.

I see McFadden as an AP type runner with not as much lateral ability, but more breakaway speed and power up the gaps. Plus, he is not as injury prone as AP.

All I'm saying is that in 2007, I would have taken AP, a runner with explosive potential on every play, over Barber and not thought twice about it.

I would like to see mcffaden go to dallas
