Was drafting Darren McFadden a good pick?
Apr 26, 2008 | 5:35PM | report this

Darren McFadden is a great running back and should be a great player on whatever offense he is added to. However, the Raiders already have Justin Fargas, Lamont Jordan, and Dominic Rhodes. Although the latter two are probably on the way out, Justin Fargas showed talent last year and was Raiders decided to resign him. The other thing that cannot be forgotten is that the Raiders still have Michael Bush. Bush has tremendous upside and potential, but was unable to play in his rookie year due to injuries. Once healthy, Bush has the talent to be a franchise running back. With Fargas and Bush why did the Raiders take McFadden?

I am excited to see McFadden coming to Oakland because of his talent and potential, but I think it would have been smarter to trade up and get some more talent in other places, draft Dorsey, or an offensive lineman because that is where the Raiders are truly weak.

 Apparently McFadden was too great of a talent to pass on and the Jamarcus Russell Darren McFadden backfield should be fun to watch.
