No Mcfadden to raidrers..

[Favorite_Toon]

The Raiders re-signed RT Cornell Green and

restructured the contract of RB Dominic Rhodes.

Look Al Davis is crazy... bit not that crazy.. maybe he trades his pick to dallas.. but he wil not be selecting mcfadden.. now when he just signed domick rhodes and fargus for three years and still has michael bush healthy now..

They may go Gholston

[drago]

looks like mctackled is sliding right out of the top 10. I thought the Raiders would take him, or he would fall...i guess we'll see.

Raiders or Rams are the teams i'm worried about grabbing him....

[SayNoToDMC]

Never ever underestimate the craziness of Al Davis

[Matt39]

Mendenhall will be picked before Mcfadden

[124]

Just because there third running back last year restructured doesn't mean old man Davis won't jump on the chance to take McFadden. If they keep Jordan, then I will believe they will not select McFadden. Even then, you never know with Al Davis.

RAMS??? THEY HAVE SYEVEN JACKSON..

Raiders or Rams are the teams i'm worried about grabbing him....

Rams? I dont see it. They have huge holes on the defensive side and on the offensive line and they have Stephen Jackson and the kid from Rutgers, Leonard. I can't see them passing up one of Jake Long, Ellis or Dorsey, all of whom are great players and all of whom address a serious need for the Rams.

The Raiders are somewhat random so they are capable of taking anybody (except for a QB). But they have gaping holes, too (its why they are drafting so high). Still, if Dorsey or Ellis is there then I dont see them passing on one of those guys to replace Sapp.

I can see KC trading the pick to someone who wants McFadden (or Gholston). KC, who is in famous need of offensive linemen, can trade down a bit and still get a top Tackle. No need for them to stay at #5, especially if Jake Long is gone. On the other hand, Herm is a fool.

Fargas' deal is essentially a one year trial period, bush is unproven and i have no idea what's going to happen to jordan. We signed jones to a pretty heft multiyear contract, have an affective washington and are looking at jesse chatman; why are we so much more likely to select mcfadden compared to the raiders?? I'm not saying we won't, but aren't they in the same situation with their rbs as we are??

[PeterNorth09]

Only God knows what Al Davis is up to.

[DieHardJetsFan]

Wow, I cant believe all these Jet fans wanting the Jets to pass up on McFadden if he's on the board with our 6th pick.

The Jet fans who compare McFadden to Reggie Bush, must have NEVER seen McFadden run the rock, because he's a pure RB with great vision and exciting speed.

The Jet fans who knock McFadden as a NFL running back, only have one negative thing to say about McFadden, "Chicken legs" Thats crazy, have you all ever seen this mans stiff arm? It's lethal. And a running back like McFadden should never have HUGE legs, he's not a Jones-Drew, Bettis type of running back

And as far as the fumbles go, he's not even a senior, with the right coaching, this kid will be an animal out of the backfield for years to come.

I have watched alot of Gholston this year

But I have seen ALOT more of McFadden since his freshman year,

If we draft Gholston, I would be in love with this 3-4 Defense, he's a Merriman-Ware type of 3-4 OLB

If we draft McFadden, I would be in love with our Offense with a young QB in Kellen, a top 10 O-Line, a strong running back in Thomas Jones, and an explosive Rookie in McFadden who can blow by ANY DE, DT, NT, run right by ANY LB, and attack just about every secondary that he faces.

Reggie Bush has talent, but he loves to dance behind the LOS with his juke moves

McFadden has talent, but he explodes through the hole with his Vision and quickness

[jetpower10]

Only God knows what Al Davis is up to.

even then i bet he scratches his head at times.

[LionelRichie]

Wow, I cant believe all these Jet fans wanting the Jets to pass up on McFadden if he's on the board with our 6th pick.

i can't speak for all jet fans but i don't want mcfadden at #6. i think he is a great talent but i think $20M+ in SB is too much to give to a RB, let alone a RB who has never taken a single NFL snap.

tell me the last team to win the super bowl with a "franchise" RB who got 80% of the teams carries.

[vitony]

I agree 100% with DieHardJetsFan. DMC is 100xs the runner Reggie Bush is, he might not always make the sexy behind the back cut back from one sideline to the other, but he is a better running back. The guy can run between the tackles, cut outside and take a beating. Plus, what makes you think Mendenhall is better, becasue last time i checked Mendenhall ran away from the SLOW big 10 and Stewart was in the ***tty Pac-10, while DMC was running away from the super-fast SEC, best conference in football and tearing apart the eventual national champions, LSU.

If Woody pans out to be an upgrade over Clement, then DMC will be ROY behind the line and richardson, and give the jets an offensive playmaker that opposing teams must scheme against.

I love Gholston dont get me wrong, but if DMC is there the jets have to jump on him. Plus i dont get the argument that he goes dead after contact. i found out that his YAC were kept track of early on and in his first 657 yards 244 of those were YAC

[KSJets]

Only God knows what Al Davis is up to.

I don't think so as I think that's why Al Davis is still with us, no one really knows

Besides, when Al's done terrorizing us here, he'll be rooming with Satan instead of heading upstairs. He has to keep Belichick's seat warm down there after all

[DieHardJetsFan]

The Bills landed Marshawn Lynch before he ever took an nfl snap

The Chargers drafted LT even though he never took an nfl snap

The Vikings took a chance on Peterson, when all the other teams were passing on him, before he ever took a signle snap as an NFL running back, look how that turned out.

And McFadden would be our Franchise back, but at the same time, he wouldnt get 80% of the carrys... As a rookie.

Now that we have Faneca and Mangold on the left side of the O-Line, Richardson as the lead blocker, it would be amazing to watch Thomas Jones rush the ball a good 10-15 times in the first half, pound the rock, ware down the defense, and watch McFadden explode all over defenses with his fresh legs, great vision, top 5 speed and turn this Jets offense into an exciting offense for years to come with a good 8-12 carrys as a rookie.

In 3 years, Thomas Jones will be falling apart, Leon Washington still wont be an EVERY DOWN back, while McFadden will be a young top 5 RB for years to come.

[Sperm Edwards]

RAMS??? THEY HAVE SYEVEN JACKSON..

Jackson is entering the last year of his rookie contract. They may not be able to lock him up long-term and also afford the #2 pick. Possible they decide to draft McFadden & let SJ hit free agency. I wouldn't bet on it, but it's possible if Jackson demands something absurd like a $70M+ contract.

Mendenhall tore up USC. Probably the fastest overall defense in college football.

Fargus is a three year deal... and they Bush who is healthy and they just resigned domick rhodes??

The Raiders restructured Dominic Rhodes' contract, ensuring he will remain with the team in 2008.

His salary fell from $3 million to $1.75 million. Rhodes played well when given a shot in 2007, totaling 338 yards vs. the Colts, Jags, and Chargers in the final three games. He won't enter camp higher than second on the depth chart, but this is more bad news for Michael Bush's chances of splitting time with Justin Fargas. It's unclear what Oakland will do with LaMont Jordan. Mar. 5 - 9:40 pm et

So McFadden is a every down back? Those other teams you mentioned *needed* a running back. We don't....not that high anyway.

[Boozer76]

Mendenhall is nearly as fast as McFadden, just as shifty as McFadden, much stronger than McFadden, and can easily handle the pounding of the NFL. Mendenhall is better than Jamal Lewis was coming out of college and, if healthy, will have a better career than Lewis. Write it down folks.

Hes not as fact or close to mcfadden...Mcfadden is 6-1 ish... mendenhallis like 5ft9 ish.. there is a big difference

It's a three year deal, but if you look at the way it's structured it really is a completely front loaded contracted with the options for the other two. Bush is completely unproven; we have two good backs, one who was given a lot of money in an extension. I'm not saying we won't take mcfadden, i just dont' get why we are more apt to take him than the raiders.

how many super bowls combined between lynch, peterson, and LT?

[DieHardJetsFan]

how many super bowls combined between lynch, peterson, and LT?

So your telling me just because LT, Lynch and Peterson have 0 SB rings, that you would pass on those guys?

How many SB's between Thomas Jones and Leon Washington?

Its called a team game.

Give me Peterson, LT, Lynch, Jones-Drew, or McFadden any day of the week man

And it's crazy and flat out STUPID to judge a player on "SB rings" when thier are 11 starters on Offense, 11 Starters on Defense and 11 starters on special teams, thats 33 players

This aint the NBA where it's 5 on 5

One more thing, I can also name you about 20 great running backs with SB rings if thats the case

you have to understand one thing about the guys on here.... first they didnt want mcfadden because we didnt have a good line and they thought we should spend the pick on a DT or OL or a LB but now that we have did wonders in free agency... they have nothing to say anymore.. but there biased comments are just ignorant when it comes to Mcfadden..

Cant run through a line..

Weak Legs

Hes not adrian peterson (btw was terrible the last part of the year when teams started stacking the box..look up his stats if you dont believe me..I know cause I traded my brother him in fantasy football and had to here him bitch everyweekend..)lol

Look hes a game changer... Mcfadden can hit the homerum and win games..

If hes there..we need to pick him..

Im all for drafting Gholston to make that Pace signing 10x's better, but I seen about 7 Razor Back games this year, and let me tell you something, when people say he cant "Break a tackle" I laugh only because I know what this kids Stiff Arm can do, its str8 up Lethal with a capital L. As far as Felix Jones go, I hate to say it because he's also a good athlete, but he's no where near a McFadden, Felix Jones put up great numbers in alot of garbage time and lets not forget that McFadden was the work horse and Felix Jones benefited from it.

There is a reason why Felix Jones is entering the draft this year and not becoming the Razor Backs "Feature back" next year, it's because he knows he would be naked in that backfield with high expectations and no DMC to bail him out. By playing next year, Felix Jones would be a 5th round draft pick... MAYBE a 4th, his stock would drop
