Profootballtalk.com - ESPN's Chris Mortensen reported this morning that the Oakland Raiders would be open to trading running back Darren McFadden. Now a new report offers the first suggestion of which team the Raiders might trade him to. Tom Kowalski of MLive.com reports that the Detroit Lions would likely be very interested in talking to the Raiders about acquiring McFadden. However, Kowalski reports that the Lions aren't likely to give up more than their third-round pick (66th overall) to acquire McFadden. For as disappointing as McFadden has been, the Raiders might not be willing to give up a talented 22-year-old for just a third-rounder. Kowalski also writes that whether the Lions would trade for a running back could depend on Cal's Jahvid Best is available with their second-round pick. If he is, the Lions would likely take him. If he's not, the Lions might be willing to pull the trigger on a trade for McFadden.
According to Chris Mortenson the Raiders are looking to part ways with their thoroughbred runningback, Darren McFadden and the Lions have openly said they are interested. It's just a matter of how much they are willing to give up. He isn't worth our 2nd rounder and I think Jahvid Best will be as productive if not more so in the NFL than McFadden has been or will be. If Best is available and he is your guy then go get him and forget about McFadden.
But if you don't want Best or he is simply gone at that point, then I think you offer the Raiders your 3rd and 7th rounder for McFadden. Especially if either Brandon Spikes or Sean Weatherspoon are still on the board for us in the 2nd round. Think about this shit, we would have Suh, Weatherspoon, and McFadden after 3 rounds. C'mon, that's god damn amazing! Lions bumaye motherfucker! Lions bumaye!
PS - Lions on the clock in less than 3 hours.
