The Fins will be stuck with the #1 pick because nobody will be enough of a sucker to trade for it and they need a QB (and everything else), the Rams need O-line help desperately, the Jets spent money on Thomas Jones, who's been hurt, and they've got needs beyond the RB position (as in everywhere else), leaving McFadden to slip to the Pats at four with the SF pick. How's that feel, AFC East? Ha, the Patriots will end up taking McFadden with the Niners pick.

If the 'fins end up with the top pick, I wouldn't be surprised to see them try and trade down, as none of the QBs - who at the beginning of the year looked to cram-pack the top 5 selections - are looking like solid #1 overall picks. @Chris: My boy Ronnie is out for what, 4 games and you completely forget about him?

Trent Green and John Beck are not the answers to what ails the Dolphins. if the Dolphins take McFadden in lieu of a quarterback, they deserve whatever befalls their franchise… Trent Green and John Beck are not the answers to what ails the Dolphins.

I'm surprised no one's brought up Reggie Bush and his 4 rushing TDs this year. Sure he's becoming a Brian Westbrook style of player, but how many rings has Philly won with Mr. Fifty Receptions a Game out of the Backfield? Chris, Dayne's weight wasn't the problem so much as him suddenly turning into a mincing runner who started sobbing every time he had to run between the tackles. I'm sure the White Castles didn't help. Bryan, there is one LT, he wore #56 and shattered Joe Theismann's leg on national television. LDT carries the rock for the Bolts, on the occasional times that the coach remembers to call his number. McFadden's a talent, it'll be interesting to see him in the Dolphins backfield next year.

I think McFadden has the talent to become a big time threat in any offensive scheme. I see him as an LT(Ladainian not Lawrence, obvi) type player in that he can run, catch, and throw TDs. Granted, he's only caught one TD pass this season but that will change when he plays on Sundays and Mondays next season. Tebow, however, is a bad mofo and would certainly deserve the Heisman should he win it. I have to agree with Chris and Jim on this one.

The truth is, there's no sure way to tell - or at least, if I knew of one, every GM would want my cellie digits. That said, I can offer the obvious comparison: especially for running backs, SEC Football is much better for preparing a player for playing in the NFL than the Big Ten. If you need substantiation, just look to Maurice Clarett's pwnage of the Big Ten a few years back. Dayne was a perfect fit in a bruising, run-heavy system. McFadden is much more versatile, and therefore much more suited to play on Sundays. He's big and fast, and has soft hands. Dayne was just big. Total rushing yardage record or none, I'll take McFadden over Dayne any day. That’s a good point, David.

I'm asking McFadden if he prefers to wear the number 25, 35, or 45 for my franchise. Too bad we just can't go back in time and take Eric Crouch's heisman away and give it to whoever comes in second this year.
