There is many rumors about what the Raiders are going to do with their running backs this off-season. As many know the Raiders have NO draft picks until the fifth round. This will really help the Browns to trade for Darren McFadden since the Raiders are desperate for some draft picks, and to clear some cap. Some say if they franchise Michael Bush, then it will be a sign that they will be shopping DMF.
My question to you is would you like it if the Browns would to trade to get him. Personally I would be excited to have a guy that has the explosiveness and power that few running backs have. He has had injuries but is easily a top 5 running back when healthy.
What do you guys think??? |

the whole thing with Run DMC is not his skill, but his ability to stay healthy. it would really all depend on the price

I was hoping for like a 4th or later option...but I chose want nothing to do with him...Run DMC is a great RB...but has issues staying healthy. I don't want to waste any of those picks on him only to be side lined for near 40% of the season each year...besides there are other RBs we could target that show promise & have less wear and tear for a RB.
There is also a chance Hillis signs for a decent pay and we still draft another RB that might fall who could share the load. |

Ok I know your not comparing Hillis to Run DMC, or a late 4th round pick. HAHAHAHAHAHAH this guy had more yards in 6 games (and LED THE NFL IN RUSHING!!!!!) than Hillis did in his 9+ games. Hillis average 3.6 yards to Darren's 5.2. You got to be kidding me, hes not worth a 3rd rounder??????
And get that Madden cursed clown outta town! |

Ok...but Hillis has actually been able to play a full season while being the #1 threat for the offense...and why even compare last year? Hillis wasn't used as much in the earlier games due to his contract issues...
And yes...I wouldn't waste a 3rd on a guy that has shown that he can't stay healthy...what good is he if we get to the playoffs...erm...still in the hunt late in the season and he is sitting on the side lines rooting for the team instead of helping the team win?
Your also leaving out the rest of what I said...the reason I wouldn't waste a 3rd rounder on him is because there are other RBs in this draft that are showing promise that have less wear & tear on them. I'd rather spend a 2nd on someone like Lamar Miller or even a 3rd on a RB that H&H feels can contribute...what's so hard about that to understand?  |

Onizuka, the hard part to understand is that you would literally rather have a 3rd round pick than mcfadden. You are insane.
I am pretty sure I prefer a "stud when healthy" than a 3rd round rb who has a pretty fair chance of sucking even if healthy, let alone his own potential to have injuries.
If you were to put mcfadden in this draft, he would easily go mid-late 1st round. I wouldn't quite go a 1st, but I would give pick 36 assuming he is healthy to start the year.
Some may not want to give a pick that high and that is fine, but to not give a 3rd is just insanity. He must have pissed in your cereal and ruined your fantasy season or something to have given you such sour grapes like that.

I'd rather take my chances on hitting a home run like Ladarius Webb or Mike Wallace in the 3rd than trade if for a RB who cann't stay healthy. Its not like McFadden doesn't age, and his injuries are only going to take longer to heal the older he gets.

Dude, he is 24.
And guess what, the chances of mcfadden staying healthy are higher than the chance you hit a homerun on a rb in the 3rd, plus that rb also needs to be healthy as well.

One thing I haven't seen mentioned yet. McFadden was a top 5 pick before the rookie cap. His rookie contract was 6 years, $60 million. Yikes.

Wow...so just because I don't want to spend a 3rd on a guy that has health issues, which is a major concern for his position, he automatically pissed me off? What's wrong with my answer?
Your absoutely correct about where he would be drafted in this draft...but guess what? He isn't in this draft because he will be in his 5th year this season and has yet to prove he can stay healthy....he has played for a grand total of 45 out of the 64 games he could of played and he is only 24 yrs old! So yes...I would rather spend a 3rd or later pick on a rookie RB that could potentially be a star and stay healthy...but keep thinking what you want just because I stated my opinion and backed it up with an objective answer instead of just a simple "No". |

I meant if you put him in this draft at his current age, as is, just pluck him off the raiders and put him in the draft. He is still a 1st rounders easily.
And yes, it is VERY silly to me you would not take a 24 year old "stud when healthy" rb over a 3rd round flier with a fraction of the talent.

So how do you know that there isn't a RB in this draft that we could grab in the 3rd or later rounds that could be better or similiar to Run DMC and stay healthy? Even Raiders fans aren't completely happy with him because they can't count on him to stay healthy...There are other RBs in this league that produce similiar or better numbers than him that were not drafted in the 1st or 2nd rounds and have the ability to stay healthy where the team can rely on them when it comes to the end of the season and possibly in the post season...
I would absoutely take a stud in any position...but again...they have to show the ability to stay healthy...I understand players get hurt but hes pretty much missed an entire season + the post season in his 4 year stint in the NFL so far and he is only 24...which is weird for a young guy and as KamTrus20 stated...he is only going to get older meaning his injuries won't be healing as quick. |

| I voted Nothing do not want him although that is not exactly true, just more so than the other choices. I might be willing to move a package of later draft picks for him but nothing more than that. A RB with some tread on his tires and a bit of an injury history in my opinion is not really worth too much on the trade market. |

Just say no to RBs with tiny legs. Do not want.

| I would love a playmaker like McFadden, but the injury concerns are very real and something I probably wouldn't mess with. Add to it what Reggie posted about his contract and it'd be a very high investment on a player who likely wouldn't play all year |
