Let the Speculation on McFadden Begin
January 15, 2008 by Lee
Who wants to have the next stud running back in the NFL? Or we can ask…who doesn’t want to pass on what could be the next Adrian Peterson? Darren McFadden has officially announced he will enter the 2008 NFL Draft. Let the speculation begin.
The Dolphins? Last year there were a lot of people that thought the Dolphins would have taken Adrian Peterson despite having recent high pick Ronnie Brown on board. Rumor has it that The Tuna will try to net one of his running backs from Dallas.
The Rams? Could you imagine a backfield with SJax and McFadden? That’s Madden material, won’t happen.
The Falcons? It is getting time for the Falcons to possibly think about a stud runner. But they have a very serious QB situation to fix first.
The Raiders? A crowded backfield already, but none of those guys are a franchise back. Michael Bush may be but we won’t know that until he can play in the NFL. Could Al Davis grab the guy to pair with JaMarcus Russell? They have a lot of other holes to fill but this is a very interesting spot.
The Chiefs? These guys could go in any direction as they need help everywhere. They have a guy, if not injured, that they appear pretty happy with at RB though.
The Jets? Watch out Thomas Jones. Just when you think you have the starting spot and have done nothing to lose it, you could see your team take a RB once again. Another team with other needs but if he falls this far he could be hard to pass up.
The Patriots? By now McFadden is likely either picked by one of the above teams or someone (very likely) traded into position to pick him already. Just for “what if” sake…could you imagine this guy joining the Patriots? There is nothing wrong with Maroney but the Patriots could care less about having one go to guy at any particular position. Scary stuff…

McFadden will go no later than No. 5. The guy has crazy talent and there are plenty of teams that need a RB on top of everything else. I would be shocked if he dropped any further down the board.
I’m thinking someone moves up for him. Looking at what Adrian Peterson did this year teams have to be drooling over the thought of having this guy.
