The great college runners all seem to come out after their junior seasons. Emmitt Smith, Barry Sanders, Curtis Martin and Jerome Bettis all skipped their senior years and all now rank among the NFL's top five all-time rushers. McFadden won the Doak Walker Award as the nation's best running back as a sophomore at Arkansas and picked up right where he left off in the 2007 opener with a 151-yard outing against Troy. Pencil him in as the first overall pick of the 2008 NFL draft … to the Oakland Raiders. -- Dallas Morning News

Well, that's all well and interesting, but...

1. No guarantee McFadden has a good, injury free 2007.

2. No guarantee that the Raiders will wind up with the #1 overall pick again. Some people have them finishing above the Chiefs in the AFC West, even.

3. Why in the world would Oakland take him a year after drafting Michael Bush?
