So it's currently: 1, 2, 4, 4 (NO), 6, 7 comesimangia, I think you are almost right, but our 5th rounder went to get Jenkins and the other 5th rounder we got from Cincy obviously never happened.

The potential is a decent value at six. I would have no problem taking McFadden if the trade down offers don’t surface. The potential is a decent value at six.

As his carries went up his YPC went down which is pretty normal. You could make the same argument about Felix Jones you are making about McFadden -- maybe all the attention focused on McFadden allowed the change of pace back to rush so well. The guy has the combine performance, he has the college production, and there is more of a consensus about his status as the elite college running back then there was about Adrian Petersen. I dont think the Jets will pick him. Nah, don’t hate on DMC. he rushed for 6.3, 5.8 and 5.6 ypc over his career. As his carries went up his YPC went down which is pretty normal.

Now that we're over our panic attack, I agree with each of them. To get to trade down two things need to be in place. One, DMac is there, and two, we don't have any other pressing needs we MUST fill first. The C'boys are the only team that both needs him and has the trade capital to seal the deal. They have to believe we'd take him or they don't need us. Our actual needs at CB and WR can be filled with those two picks without changing the rest of the draft picks. The quality and depth at CB and WR are such that any of two or three guys would do. If we do take DMac, where does Washington go? The FO doesn't seem to think he's expendable. Who is coming up at WR? Who is the second CB? I’m really impressed with the posts. Now that we’re over our panic attack, I agree with each of them. To get to trade down two things need to be in place.

While I am not enamored with him, Baltimore supposedly is. They might not want to pay a premium for him but someone else might. At this point, with these signings, I suspect Tangini will be relaxed on draft day. We could sign another best CB in the draft to star opposite Revis for years. We could trade down and get a potential WR and something else. If Matty Ice is there and I am wrong and he is really good, we could pull a Bolts and ensure the future with either Kellen or Matty. The only thing that will depress me is spending all that money on a spindly legged, baby making, RB who may have excelled in large part due to his OL (c.f. Felix Jones who averaged more yards per carry than DMC). Harlan Subway, some mock drafts have Matty Ice being around when we pick. While I am not enamored with him, Baltimore supposedly is.

Unless by some miracle Chris Long is still there I doubt many teams behind us rate the other potential candidates highly enough to offer anything worthwhile. I do think the FO would trade down if they could. They seem to be employing a sound philosophy of filling key spots with high-end, proven talent that will start for at least three years so they can draft slightly more raw prospects and have good models to coach them into.

Now, through the draft, we need to add one or two game changers. If there's a chance to trade down to the middle of the 1rst, and pick up another 2nd round pick, I think you do it. Grab a bigtime WR, and a CB and we'll be looking really strong for next year. With the Free Agent moves the jets have made, we’ve got a good solid foundation.
