Although I think McFadden is a stud, much the same way Adrian Petersen is, I do not think that the 'Boys will move up and get him. The running back class is deep and they have a great starter (Marion Barber III) and a very solid backup with return capabilities (Tyson Thompson). You do not want to move everything to get a guy that is going to sit on your bench for 3 years or so. If they are planning on trading their 1st rd. picks to move up, it should be for stud OL or DB which is more of a need for the 'Boys. Having 2 big backs that can be elusive is great, but they need a "scat" back, the role Julius Jones was suppose to play, as a backup. Getting a back like Chris Johnson, Mike Hart, Ray Rice or even Steve Slaton can be accomplished in the late 2nd or early 3rd.
