better then LJ yes but not so much better that we should use our 5th pick on him.

Logical · 04-23-2008, 08:44 AM

I believe he will block on passing downs thus providing more value. I won't be suprised this time if Carl picks him.

Deberg_1990 · 04-23-2008, 08:44 AM

Geez, at this point who arent the Chiefs interested in?? Lets throw Aqib Talib, Limas Sweed and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie into the mix as well!

I agree with this but Gholston is the player likely to be left otherwise and he is not a fit on our defense.

How are you judging this? McFadden has played how many snaps in the NFL? LJ has been to a pro bowl, that would be like a Rams fan asking who would be a better LT for their team Orlando Pace or Jake Long, one is proven, and the other is not.

if we pick RB with our 5th pick the CP will crash 1 second after the announcement.

nychief · 04-23-2008, 08:48 AM

no. LJ has lead the league in rushing and gone to pro bowls. McFadden has not played a down.

We are not drafting Darren McFadden.

vailpass · 04-23-2008, 08:51 AM

IMHO unless things drastically improve along the OL it doesn't matter; both McFadden and LJ will have a tough go of it getting hit in the backfield.

The smart thing for King Carl to do would be to pull off another big trade and send LJ to Denver. The Bronco running game would go from sucky to strong as long as home boy agreed to pass block every now and again.

**Baby Lee** · 04-23-2008, 08:53 AM

The best of all possible worlds would be McFadden and Ryan picked ahead of the Chiefs. There would then be at least one selection well worth the 5th pick left.
One can hope.

Still having two to choose from between Long, Long, Dorsey and Gholston would be wonderful.

BPA is not mcfadden at #5

siberian khatru · 04-23-2008, 08:54 AM

He might be a better QB than Croyle.

**Bowser** · 04-23-2008, 08:56 AM

I have nothing to back this hunch up with, but I think Felix Jones may have a better pro career than Darren McFadden.

Chest Rockwell · 04-23-2008, 08:56 AM

There's too much $$$ invested in LJ to even discuss him being replaced/share time. This team can't afford to have eleventy-seven-billion dollars invested at RB either.

If circumstances were different (financially) I'd say it wouldn't be a horrible thing to have a young back pushing LJ, but in this case I just can't see it happening.
