Felix Jones - RB - Arkansas - 1st Round #22

Felix Jones is no Darren McFadden -- at least not on paper. Then again, he will not cost multiple draft selections, and he would look to be a great improvement over Julius Jones who has moved on to Seattle. Felix Jones played behind McFadden but still was a monster back in his own right with a NCAA leading 9.1 yards per carry average. Jones also can return kickoffs and led the SEC with a 31.3 average, returning two for touchdowns. He looks to be a very good back to compliment Marion Barber with his speed. Other options include cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, but I feel he will be drafted well before selection #22. Despite the insane chatter surrounding Pacman Jones one must consider him a luxury -- one that is undependable and unwanted if my opinion truly mattered. Nevertheless, even if Pacman is signed, the cornerback position is a true need and I wouldn't be surprised to see the 'Boys move up should Rodgers-Cromartie be available as their selection nears. Yet another running back to consider would be Oregon's Jonathan Stewart. I love his talent on the field, but because of injury, he's not on the field. Limping or injured in college translates to injured reserve in the NFL. I want players that will help game one against the Cleveland Browns, which is why I lean toward Felix Jones. Got an opinion?
