Just for a minute, let's assume that all NFL owners and personnel guys are rational, intelligent human beings who are relatively successful at their jobs. Making that jump in logic, how can there possibly be substantiated rumors that the Cowboys are seriously considering a draft day trade up into the top slot in order to draft Arkansas RB Darren McFadden?Positional Overview: DMC More Peterson than Bush

Still Bush-shocked? That’s okay, because McFadden grades out far closer to 2007 Offensive ROY Adrian Peterson than he does to the 2005 Heisman Trophy Winner. The question is whether or not McFadden will go higher than he should because of Peterson’s success. Jerry Jones could make that happen, but McFadden could make a playoff contender out of a team picking between the third and sixth slots.Darren McFadden Runs A 4.27 Forty

If OT Jake Long didn’t impress you yesterday, maybe RB Darren McFadden will. McFadden just ran a 4.27 forty-yard dash. This is right now his unofficial time, but it looks like McFadden didn’t hurt himself by running at the combine. Matter of fact, he might have made himself the top pick with someone looking to trade up to get him. (Somewhere Jerry Jones is drooling)Darren McFadden: Fast AND Fertile

Adam Schefter just said that he heard the Cowboys were talking to the Dolphins a month ago about a trade with both #1 picks, MB3 and another pick for the rights to draft Darren McFadden. Of course, this was directly contradicted by Jerry Jones earlier this week who said that he is not trading MB3 and downplayed the idea of trading up for McFadden.

I like the NFL Network for the most part, but enough is enough already. These guys spent about 10 mins of time saying the Cowboys had a deal on the table with the Dolphins for the #1 draft pick overall in hopes of drafting Darren McFadden . This is conjured up yellow journalism at its best. They insist that the Cowboys would trade BOTH #1 first rounders and Marion Barber - complete lunacy. ...McFadden’s 4.27 Fuels Dallas Rumors

Unless the Cowboys get Marion Barber signed to a long-term deal soon, he's going to become a restricted free agent.

Darren McFadden is already performing like an NFL superstar. And it has nothing to do with his 4.27 (or was it 4.33) 40-yard dash. Evidentially, McFadden already has been hit with a paternity suit and has two other children on the way.
