Jetties Love McFadden

In a recent press conference Jets General Manager Mike Tennenbaum commented on the so called "character issues" that some believe will plague McFadden's career. Despite these critics Tennenbaum has no hesitation in drafting the young Arkansas RB, that is of course, if he is still available.

It has been recently reported that the Oakland Raiders with the number four pick will pass on McFadden although they are in desperate need of a running game period, that amongst many other things. The Radiers are believed to have serious interest in the Ohio State pass rusher Vernon Gholston. The Jets are also interested in him if they can't get McFadden, or unless Chris Long slips, which is doubtful.

I would love to see McFadden in green. That two pronged running attack seems to an effective system these days in the NFL. Thomas Jones can be regarded as a bruiser and with McFadden's explosive lateral speed and pretty decent hands, they Jets could have a potent running game next year. I would also be very happy if we can snag Long. Pass rush is not something to overlook. Look at what the Giants did to Brady.

With all the moves made this off season, and I say this evey year but thats being a Jets fan, I really think we can contend given these acquisitions. Draft day is going to be the most exciting for me personally, we haven't had the opportunity to get young talent like this.
