How early should Darren McFadden be drafted?

Question

In a ten team league.

Answer 1

late 3rd to 4th round.

That's where I have seen him go in most drafts, if not sooner.

Answer 2

I was able to get him with the late 4th/early 5th sandwich pick, but I don't think he would've lasted much longer than that.

Answer 3

I had the #10 pick in a 10 team league.  I took Moss at 10 and Larry Johnson at 11.  By my next pick, most of the good starting RBs were gone so I took him with the last pick of the 3rd round.  I feel OK about it.  He will be in camp on time so hopefully that is a good sign.  At any rate, I wouldn't go 1st or 2nd round.  Thrid seems about right.

Answer 4

Keep in mind Justin Fargas is still listed as the #1 RB, as this will probably change through the season. I don't think he will be like AP was last year, but I expect Mcfadden to pull a respectable 700+ rush yds and 350+ rec. yds, 6 TDs

If you are in a keeper league, I would pick him up ASAP. Otherwise I would look to the veterans first.
