A league source pointed out to us something that we missed in our looooong-ass Saturday morning item regarding Darren McFadden.

Though McFadden could slide, the question that many league insiders are asking themselves as the draft approaches is when will the Dallas Cowboys will try to make their move up to get him?  The Cowboys have the No. 22 and No. 28 selections in round one. 

Under the “old” trade chart, the points make those two picks fall between No. 7 and No. 8.  Under the “new” chart, it puts them between No. 4 and No. 5.

This makes the Chiefs a potential candidate for the trade, since they clearly are trying to stockpile young players.  Such a move would give them three first-round picks in 2008.

And let’s not rule out the possibility that there might be another team out there that would like to get McFadden for itself, and/or to block the ‘Boys from getting him.  The Eagles are widely believed to be very interested in moving into the top ten.  But teams don’t trade up for the privilege of picking higher; they do so because there’s a player they covet.

Since the Eagles haven’t been able to acquire a veteran receiver who can open up the rest of the offense, why not land a game-breaking tailback who can do the same?

Sure, the Eagles have Brian Westbrook.  And the Vikings have Chester Taylor.
