i echo his sentiments... to a "T."

I will assume that PacMan already has divorced himself from 'Make it Rain'.

Why is everyone assuming that MBIII is not going to be here after this season ???????????????? And even if he's not coming back.....What in the work makes you think Felix Jones isn't going to be a starter in the NFL ?

You would rather draft a guy that you haven't seen work out, have no idea what his status will be, is in a cast, and has pins in his feet right now ??????????????????????????

Might as well use our #28 pick on Dennis Dixon.....for pete's sake....You do not select a player that isn't even available to work out for you, with your number one pick....period...turf toe is no joke......at 235lbs.....turf toe is killer...

For the past 3 months everyone's been clamoring about getting the right complementary back to go with MBIII to form the best, most potent duo in the league......now all seem to be wavering on thatr idea...and are thinking our #1 need is to draft a so called "full time" running back, even though we don't use a single back offense......

I got news for you people...Felix Jones is as much an "every play, every day, every down, featured RB in the NFL"  as any other RB available in this draft....Just because he shared the load at Arkansas doesn't mean he couldn't have handled a bigger role.... In fact, I bet if he stayed in school.....he'd be the front runner for next years Heisman Trophy...and if he played for Oregon or Illinois....he would have been even more effective, and probably been the starter the past few seasons.

DMac is 4 lbs heavier, yet everyone's concensus #1 RB ....  

wake up.....he the same size as Brian Westbrook...

Jones didn't run the 40 but did most of the positional drills and looked good.

Although Jones didn't run the 40, I'm glad because I know he would have improved on his stellar 4.44 40 combine time, and would be picked up before 22...

Gil Brandt's pro day report:

Arkansas (March 25)
With very windy conditions outside, workouts were forced indoors on field turf. Twenty-six teams were on hand, including Bears head coach Lovie Smith and coaches from the Packers, Panthers, Rams and Jets.

» RB Darren McFadden (6-1¼, 215): Had a 35½-inch vertical jump, 4.10 short shuttle, 6.86 cone drills, 13 reps in the bench press and kept his numbers from the combine for everything else. He had a good workout and did a good job of answering questions for the teams in attendance.

RB Felix Jones (5-10 1/8, 210): Had a 34½-inch vertical jump, 13 reps in the bench press, ran position drills and kept his numbers from the combine for everything else. He caught the ball well. improved 225lbs lift from 8 reps at combine to 13, caught the ball well...that's what i'm talking about, get this guy out in space on a LB...looooook out !!

» DB Matterral Richardson (5-11, 195): Ran the 40 in 4.52 and 4.49 and did position drills. He was late for the start of the event and kept his numbers from the combine for everything else.

» DL Marcus Harrison (6-2¾, 312): Had a 29-inch vertical jump, 9-foot long jump, 4.54 short shuttle, 7.55 cone drills, ran position drills and kept his numbers from the combine for everything else.

» RB Peyton Hillis (6-1, 237): Ran the 40 in 4.57 and 4.58, had a 35-inch vertical jump, 4.24 short shuttle, ran position drills and kept his numbers from the combine for everything else. He looked good but dropped several passes.
» DB Michael Grant (6-1¼, 193): Had a 36-inch vertical jump, 9-foot 10-inch long jump, ran position drills and kept his numbers from the combine for everything else.

» OL Robert Felton (6-3 5/8;, 322): Ran the 40 in 5.28 and 5.29, had a 4.88 short shuttle, 7.91 cone drills, and ran position drills. He was late for the start of the event and kept his numbers from the combine for everything else.

WR Marcus Monk (6-4¼, 215): Ran the 40 in 4.43 and 4.41, had a 36-inch vertical jump, 10-foot 2-inch long jump, ran position drills and kept his numbers from the combine for everything else.

Monk did himself very good today, Cowboys maybe should consider in round 4 if they want a big target, and if he's available. ran a 4.56 40 at combine...shows you what good those numbers mean. I think Felix Jones was foolish for not running the 40...I know he is good for 4.35 range...he's done it several times. Trust me, Monk is not faster than Jones.

Even I was beginning to lose some faith.

That's a relief. If he really had been slated to host that event, I would have written him off along with every other hater out there.

But that's a pretty lame thing for a party promoter to do.

Didn't something similar happen to Owens last year?
