Return Of S&B Posted March 23, 2008 Author Share Posted March 23, 2008 The topic of discussion is what the Raiders will do with the #4 pick. Well, most teams will look at the player value on the board and also consider their needs. With that in mind, it doesn't make sense for them to take McFadden. When they're on the clock, they will almost certainly see the #1 OT or the #1 or #2 DE on their board. Unless your name is Al Davis you have absolutely no idea who the Raiders will be picking at #4. You do not know who is on top of their draft board and who they think are their top needs...you can only assume who you think they will pick. While I agree the #1 DE should be on top of their board, I completely disagree with you who is #2. I am sure DE Vernon Gholston and OT Jake Long will be great players, but I believe Darren McFadden will be the Raiders pick if DE Chris Long is not available at #4 for the simple fact that Al Davis wants to win now...not later. McFadden is the type of player who can make an instant impact on whatever team drafts him, especially a team with mediocre runnings backs such as Fargas and Rhodes.

Return Of S&B Posted March 23, 2008 Author Share Posted March 23, 2008 To say McFadden is anyhting like LT is rediculous. Personally, I think McFudd is way over rated and will not be anyhting like A. Peterson was last year. Far easier to get a pretty good rb than it is a de. Wow, great analysis here, thanks for the input Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
