Cowboys Fans Don’t Want McFadden

The media continues to think we’ll trump our historic Hershel Walker trade by giving up the house to obtain Darren McFadden – its not gonna happen, get it through your thick skulls! I conducted some polls, and a cross section of Cowboys Nation does not want McFadden in Dallas. In addition, if given the choice, Cowboys fans would rather draft a different running back.

When asked if we should draft or pass on McFadden:

79% said pass on him
21% said draft him

When asked which running back you would draft:

33% want Felix Jones

27% want Chris Johnson

16% want RaShard Mendenhall

9% want Jamaal Charles

7% want Darren McFadden

and then the other small percentages for everyone else.

Teams are aware of McFadden’s off the field issues, and we all know that those issues usually follow them into the NFL. Alot of fans are not sold on McFadden, and definitely do not want to give everything to get him. For me, I see him slipping in this draft, and even when he slips I don’t want to see anything dumb to move up to get him. If he’s there at #22, I’m still not sold on taking him, I doubt he’ll fall that far, but I still would pass.

Where does McFadden get drafted? 

If Oakland passes on McFadden at#4, the Jets are NOT drafting McFadden either, I see way too many mock drafts pegging him there, get real. I see him slipping to #11, where Detroit and all their draft day wisdom probably jump up a few to nab him, and this is because they are not sold on their backfield, they wanted Julius Jones, but he knew better and went to Seattle. Detroit would be in play and would probably want to trade with Buffalo. Denver at #12 could be in the market for a RB if McFadden fell to them.

Picks #13-16 are all potential suitors.  Carolina needs a RB, Chicago missed on Cedric Benson, Detroit as stated earlier, and Arizona needs to think ahead of a beatup Edgerrin James. Minnesota at #18 has a superstar, they pass, and at #18 Houston probably takes him. In my mind, Houston needs a premier type back if they want to take their team to the next step, and with a who’s who of washed up and unknowns, the Texans better draft RB.
