As a Charger fan I do as well. That backfield should be good for a +8 at least in TO ratio for the Chargers.

The Raiders are reportedly set to take McFadden if available.

Absolutely.

It won't be pretty in Raider land next season.

Has it ever been pretty there?

Yeah....you might be able to hang your hat on that through the first 1-2 seasons, but not after both players mature and play to their potential.

What an incredible backfield the Raiders will have for the next 5-10 years.

Hey another 1st round TE - fantastic. Throw him on the scrap heap with Mitchell, Brady and Becht. Yippee!

Should have traded up from 6 and got McFadden or Dorsey. I don't like Gholston at all. He reminds me of Bryan Thomas. I believe we traded our best defensive first rounder in years in Vilma to the Saints for a bag of footballs and a university of Miami helmet. Not to mention we didn't even get anything at all for DeWayne Robertson. Same old Jets.

You really think McFadden is going to survive 5+ years of being an every down NFL back, with his build and running style? I am not sure.

There is no such thing as an every down back anymore. Just like there are no shutdown corners.
