Cowboys columnist: Whatever it takes, trade for McFadden

While NFL gurus are knocking former Hog running back Darren McFadden for off-the-field issues and his “weak” legs, Fort Worth Star-Telegram columnist Gil LeBreton is tagging McFadden as the Dallas Cowboys’ ticket to a return to the Super Bowl.

In what may be the biggest endorsement for the former Hog in the media yet, LeBreton says McFadden is better and more durable than Adrian Peterson, as elusive as Emmitt Smith and as fast as Tony Dorsett in his Sunday commentary.

Fast. Versatile. Explosive. McFadden gets to enemy linebackers so quickly, it sometimes appears as if he’s running straight at them. Yet, he’s as elusive as Emmitt ever was and faster than Dorsett.

Trade up to draft McFadden? The Cowboys should consider such a deal only if…. only if they wish one day to return to the Super Bowl.

LeBreton goes on to say that the Cowboys and owner Jerry Jones should really listen if new Miami vice president Bill Parcells calls looking for a package deal for the No. 1 pick.

He is worth four high draft picks, just as Dorsett was 31 years ago. He is worth two No. 1 picks. He is worth, yes, whatever the Dolphins’ new vice-president, Bill Parcells, fishes for.

The NFL Draft is April 26. Plenty of time for some deals to be made and for more glowing pieces about McFadden to hit the media circuit. I doubt we’ll see anything this glowing, though.

Miami is on the clock.
