If we're on the board at 6 and are staring at DMAC and Ryan at the top of our board...there is a very interesting scenario that we could consider: If Balty wants to move up from 8 to grab Ryan, we could legitimately move down 2 spots, grab 2-3 more picks from them and STILL get McFadden! Now if DMAC is really our guy, do we take the chance that our most hated rival passes on him at # 7? I'm not sure...but once DMAC gets past the raiders, if he gets passed us and the Pats, he likely falls to at least #10 where Cincy picks. Could you imagine us moving down, acquiring more picks, saving a ton of money and STILL getting arguably the best player in the draft?! Just somethin to think about..
Won't happen. I would think NE will pick up McFadden in a heartbeat. They had a hard time moving the ball on the ground and Maroney was hindered by injuries. If they pick up DMC, there will be scary times for the Jets and the league for the coming years.
The only thing is they have SOOO many glaring needs on D and are so close to another SB....they maybe forced to put need over value.
I don't know if the Pats would draft McFadden, but you can be assured they will trade the pick to a team who will draft McFadden and pick up a few extra picks as well.
Exactly what I was thinking. There are a few good CBs you can find even in the middle of the first round. Im pretty sure they will trade down with Cincy, pick up probably another second rounder or equivalent, and get more help on the D. Moroney is decent and thats about all NE needs with their fierce passing attack. With DMAC in the mix, their threat will be then divided, so I dont really see why you would wanna divide arguably the best threat in the NFL.
Ahh the dreaded "divided threat", an oft-overlooked part of offensive gameplanning by FO and CS types alike. It should not to be confused with the "balanced attack".
It would be a gutsy move by Tannenbaum to pass on Mcfadden if he was the BAP at 6. His NFL career as a GM could end right there or he could be inducted in to the HOF 25 yrs from now.
I think if McFadden is on the board at 6 and he is the only one of the 4 players who could help the team immediately, then the Jets will break the all time record getting their pick up to the podium...but that's just me. I think it might get real interesting if Gholston and McFadden are there. Then I think they try to trade down 2 or 3 spots and still hope to get one of them. Could be in that scenario they can cash in on a ton of extra compensation because of a bidding war.
It really depends on thier evaluation of Dmac. Can he be an every down back in the NFL? Or is he a bigger version of Reggie Bush an extreme talent that lacks power to grind down defenses late in games? If teams think he is an every down back with power and speed to spare, I doubt he even lasts to 6 let alone past the pats at 7. If they feel he is more the second option, it may be possible. I think trading out for a team that wants Ryan though, ou have to go lower than 8. If Ryan and Dmac are there at 6, Baltimore can wait for Rayn to come to them if we are not taking him. The Pats will not grab him at 7. That kinda blows up the senario for the OP.
If Gholston and McFadden are there and we trade down 2 spots we would get neither player. Scenario A-We trade the No. 6 pick to a team that drafts McFadden. Then NE would draft Gholston Scenario B- We trade the No. 6 pick to a team that drafts Gholston. Then NE would trade the No. 7 pick to a team that drafts McFadden.
Of course this is the key. Not only with Dmac, but every other player in the draft. For all we know most of the GM's in the league might be looking at McFadden, and all they are seeing is a fumble waiting to happen. Or they might all be looking at him and think there isn't enough hype, (that would be hard to believe). Most of us have all seen the the "highlights tape" of McFadden, or any other player, but haven't pawed over every snap he has taken, as the talent guys in the NFL do. Remember that safty the Jets signed last year. The "Fire Dancer". I saw a highlight tape of him, probably put together by his agent, and said WOW, this guy is going to be an All Pro. He didn't make it out of camp. This is all fun, but few of us are qualified to take it all to serious. As Harpua said above, "It really depends on thier evaluation "
nope, you are thinking too narrow. It would not be NE at #7 that I would be worried about picking up DMAC. If we traded with Baltimore (who takes Ryan) and we get their #8 either Chicago, Carolina or another team like Cincy will jump up to #7 in a heartbeat to take DMAC. I just cant understand why Jets fans are not happy with T Jones, L Washington and J Chatman at RB. We are solid at RB. Go Gholston or trade down. WE NEED A PASS RUSHER, CB AND WR FAR MORE THAN A RB. There will be a new crop of RB's to come out next year as well. Adrian Peterson last year, Reggie Bush year before that.....and both of those guys are way better than DMAC...escpecially AP.
no doubt. In my limited viewing (two total games) I did not see Dmac lowering his shoulder and making the Defensers pay. Thats what I like in a back. Someone who can run by you or run your ass over. I didn't see it in him, so am down on him as a number 6 pick. I could be completely wrong. Its hard to tell with a limited viewing.
It was made much better by your truely enlightening post. Thanks for your great input. I can't wait for more. :rofl:
this is the worst post i have seen on here today. classless and useless, judging by the responses it appears that it is a post that is garnering interest therefore it cannot be stupid. just because you dont like the post doesnt mean you need to come in and call it stuipid.
