Mayock doesn't see McFadden in top-20
Our favorite Draft guru, NFL Network's Mike Mayock, broke out his top-10 overall picks for the first time on Monday.
I will talk about his top ten shortly and his comparisons of Matt Ryan to Ben Roethlisberger, but the most interesting part of his top ten was the name that wasn't there - Darren McFadden.
"I just watched three tapes and I wasn't as impressed as I expected to be," Mayock said. "Great burst, great acceleration, but I wouldn't touch him in the top 20 picks."
The buzz on McFadden seems to have slowed some over the last 12 months, but that's still a shocker. Is it the Reggie Bush effect? Does it reflect that running backs better be Adrian Peterson-like special to be worth taking in the top ten?
Either way, Mayock has a better beat on how NFL teams think than most draft analysts. I bet a lot of NFL boards have concerns about McFadden too.
