Darren McFadden (Arkansas) #4 To The Raiders

Oakland Raiders
#4 Overall
Darren McFadden (RB) Arkansas

And the consensus #1 talent in the draft is finally off the board. Say goodnight LaMont Jordan and Dominic Rhodes. McFadden, Fargas and Michael Bush make for a great backfield. If McFadden and Bush reach their potential and Fargas picks up where he left out last year this will go a long way towards insulating Russell in his first year as a starter. Glenn Dorsey seems like he would fill a bigger need but Al Davis has vision of Adrian Peterson dancing in his head when he sees McFadden. And this also prevents Jerry Jones or the Jets from stealing McFadden. We like that.
