I am asking the fans of the Jets and Patriots: what would you give up to make a deal with the Raiders to get a shot at drafting Vernon Gholston? The Chiefs are in front of both of you and if the Raiders do not trade and take McFadden, then you must deal with the Chiefs! You are on the clock. Would you trade up or sit right where you are and evaluate trading down? Remember Jets fans…the possibility of drafting a star player in a position of need is sitting right there in front of you. But, you will have to trade up that one or two spots to pick him.

the more the days go buy the more i think that we will draft mcfadden and i am growing on the idea and what i say is if we dont draft him then we need to trade down imo!

Thank you for the Thread/Post. It is a very interesting article. Saw V (NFL Style) LoL!!!

It is a very interesting concept that this guy is suggesting. Maybe the nyj are after gholston, with the belief that the pats will want him. Depending on how the first 4 picks of the draft turn out, they may have a shot at him.
I still have a hunch that the nyj are going to try to make a play at McFadden. But we'll see what happens.
Very interesting article.

If McFadden is there at 4 we almost have to trade out..we'll be able to fill some of the positions of need if we do.

If Davis is enamored with McFadden, I wouldn't wager on it. Yes, there are several positions of need, but you don't pass on a talented player because you have a variety of needs at several positions.

Agreed. Too many times we draft for need and it gets us nowhere. Take the best guy available at the time. McFadden would be a huge pick I think. Very versatile and fast with good vision. I don't think C.Long or Dorsey will be there at 4. Who knows, but Mcfadden would be a great weapon to have. Fargas won't be around forever(or for even a complete season)as much as I like the guy.

What fans fail to see is you upgrade with McFadden, while I like Fargas and Rhodes and Bush has yet to play a game, McFadden is high on most draft boards and if he's available at 4 I believe Davis picks him...

Davis made his choice after seeing McFadden run his 40 time.

How can we lose really? Draft McFadden or trade out for a host of draft picks/players to fill needs with solid prospects? Man, this should be a hard draft for the Raiders to **** up, but time will tell.
