keggerz Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 The running game was the only bright spot in the DAL playoff game, so why not swap out Barber for an unproven rookie and ignore your needs at WR and CB? Shhhhhhhhhhh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawks21 Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Marion Barber. Very good back. Not elite. I am not comparing McFadden to Reggie Bush, Adrian Peterson, or anyone else. He is his own, ridiculously talented self. He is one of a handful of backs in this league that means the difference between winning and losing games. Barber is not that guy.

Ask the Giants if you need an "elite" back to win the big one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't compare him to Bush because Bush is a joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muck Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 (edited) NOTE: There is no way that KC takes Otah at #5. IMO, they'd take Clady before Otah ... but, I've started to wonder if they don't take Gholston and tap some OL help in round 2 or 3 ... That said, I wouldn't be surprised to see KC drop down a couple of spots in the first (maybe with someone like NE, because NE would seem to me to be all over someone like Gholston) and picking up a couple of more picks ... and taking Clady (or maybe Otah) at #7 ... or, maybe even moving back a couple of more spots for yet more picks. KC will be rebuilding for at least two seasons ... may as well stockpile picks for this year's draft and next years' draft ... Absent Jake Long, I don't really see anyone that I'd like to see KC trade up for, and I do see several that I wouldn't be too upset if they traded down to take whomever falls to them at a slightly lower spot. PS -- Talib at 2.04 would be a good idea for KC if he falls....but, I don't think he will be there (imo, he should go somewhere in the second half of the first round).

Chief Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 McFadden would be an absolute steal for Barber and two late firsts. The people putting other running backs in front of him are either not all there or are just that stupid. Unbelievable. Have you not been watching the same guy the last three years?? Put the beer down before you hurt yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forever in debt to mo lewis Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 DRC ran a 4.28. So much for the Packers taking him. Talib - 4.48 Phillips - 4.55 Morgan - 4.52 ive seen a bunch of mocks that had him going to your packers...i coulda told you awhile ago you had no shot really....ive been on this guy for a month now...i told my boy a couple weeks ago that i thought hed eventually work his way into the top 15...maybe even 10 http://forums.thehuddle.com/index.php?showtopic=240534 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The resemblance to his cousin is striking. Between him, Jenkins, McKelvin, and Talib all doing well at the combine, I bet every team's draft board looks different at the CB spot. I wouldn't mind seeing the Packers trading Williams and a late pick for a high second and get a solid CB (Smith, Cason) and OT, then take the top TE (Keller, Carlson) with their late second round pick.
