Buyer beware on McFadden
Quote:
So now it's official. After his father denied reports that Arkansas running back Darren McFadden

will enter the NFL draft, McFadden announced on Monday that he's headed for the next level. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/draft0...ory?id=3192816

Though last week's non-arrest arrest of McFadden hasn't seemed to damage his standing as a top-tier draft pick,

it's not the first incident of this nature involving the two-time Heisman runner-up.

In 2006, before McFadden emerged as a figure of national prominence in college football, McFadden was involved in a fight outside of another bar (or, possibly, the same one).

http://www.kfsm.com/Global/story.asp?S=5214022

The situation arose on a Saturday at 4:20 a.m. Strike one. McFaddden reportedly was fighting with someone he didn't know in a parking lot, while a crowd watched.

Strike two. McFadden needed surgery for a dislocated toe because McFadden "was kicking and kicking at [the other guy] and his shoe came off and his foot hit the pavement."

And . . . strike . . . three.

Sorry, Darren. Too much money gets invested in guys taken at the top of round one.

And the Commish no longer messes around with guys who can't conform to the basic requirements of society.

We're not saying he should be taken off of the board. But the stakes are too high for him to be taken in the top three,

possibly too high for him to be selected in the top ten.

I was going to say ask Randy Moss, who dropped all the way to 21, if it matters ..

Might be ablessing in disguise for us. we are better off without Mcfadden. we need D-line help and a SS in round 2. Bush and Rhodes will be fine for us.

BTW- Blackened - your avatar is good ****.

I went to Walter Camp on Friday night in New Haven Ct and he was there. The guy was such a prick and walked arond like his **** didnt stink. Little kids were asking him for his autograph and he pretended he wasnt there. Doesnt affect his play but thought I would share

hate to hear that. tells me a lot about a person as a player, as a locker room member, how he's going to respond to coaches, fans, media, etc...

i'll take a very good, high character guy over an excellent, prima donna any day when building my team.

I'm pretty happy with Burgess, Richardson, Clemons(sp?) on the ends. I think the middle of the D line is in much worse condition. Warren, Sands, Kelly, Brayton??? HELP!!!
