I think McFadden is a great fit for this offense. I could see him leading the league in rushing in our system. When was the last time we had a running back of that caliber? We havent had one since Bo and Marcus and that was almost 20 years ago.
The main knock on McFadden is that he doesnt like contact, or at least he doesnt handle it well. The ZBS being more of a finesse system, I think it suits him quite well.
Fargas is a good player but hes no world beater and defensive coordinators arent going to lose any sleep game planning for him. Michael Bush is still an unknown and at best I see him as another Tyrone Wheatley, at worst another Nick Bell. He is very heavy for a running back, and doesnt run low to the ground either. After seeing his college highlight reels its no wonder he broke his leg.
Now Wheatley was a good player but again, he was no world beater. Are we going to pass on a player who could (potentially) be the next Marcus Allen because we already have (potentially) the next Tyrone Wheatley?
It just doesnt add up for me, and forget about trading down too. I think there was one occasion where Al traded down and he moved down from 17th or 18th or something like that, fill in those details if you know them. But Al isnt going to trade the 4th pick unless somebody makes him an incredible offer.
If McFadden is there at #4, he will be the pick. I would be borderline shocked otherwise.
