DALLAS
Jerry Jones didn’t package #22 and #28 to trade up for Darren McFadden like everyone thought he would. If we had to guess, Jones probably didn’t even consider the move once he saw Felix Jones might be there at #22. And he was there. McFadden’s Arkansas teammate averaged 7.7 per carry and quietly added two 1,000-yard seasons of his own. Jones’ career kickoff return avg. of 28.2 is 6th best in NCAA history. He’s also used to sharing the ball, and so is his new partner Marion Barber. Barber was part of another deadly college duo at Minnesota, teaming with Laurence Maroney in 2003-2004. Dallas got CB Mike Jenkins later in the 1st round and couldn’t be happier. Jenkins can instantly start across from Terrence Newman. If Pacman Jones is reinstated they still have one helluva nickel. Bad news for NFC East QBs. TE Martellus Bennett was OK in the 2nd round, they needed another TE since Anthony Fasano was traded to Miami. We loved RB Tashard Choice (4th round) at Georgia Tech. He could be a workhorse if Barber’s contract isn’t extended and he leaves in free agency next year.
