I think there's little chance the Cowboys would do this deal. While it's plausible as far as the draft value chart, I think they'd have to really love a guy at the 12 spot that they wouldn't be able to get at the 22nd spot, which doesn't seem to be the case.
If they really fell in love with Mendenhall or somebody then maybe, but I think they're all about McFadden because Jerry Jones went to Arkansas, but if he can't get the deal done to move up to #4 or so to get him, then I think he'd be happy to "settle" on Felix Jones.
I just think that our #12 spot just isn't that desirable because we're outside of the run on the 6 or 7 "elite" players in this draft and then there's a good amount of depth at most positions that one would consider taking at the #12 spot.
The #12 spot sucks for us specifically though because the the positions we need, DT, OT, WR, have plenty of depth in this draft and we'd be able to get a fairly equal prospect at any of these positions later in the first or even the 2nd round.
If we don't move down somehow, which I think will more than likely be the case, then I'd say we draft Clady or, since he won't be around in the 2nd (I've even seen him going at #13), Kentwan Balmer.

Guy, this would be a pre-draft trade, meaning during the draft the Cowboys would be armd with 12 and 44th overall picks. Meaning if he slipped past the Raiders they could trade Kancas City 12th overall, 44th overall and next years first rounder in which they would select McFadden.

If we stay at 12...We take Rashard Menedenhall who in our system would be the next Terrel Davis.

What you fail to predict in this mock drafts with trades is that there has to be two teams to do it. At a Broncos prespective, we'd love it. But from a Cowboys prespective... what are we, idiots? If the Cowboys planned on getting Darren McFadden, they wouldn't trade up to 12 with the ammunition they have. Because once they get there, they'd then have no ammunition to go any higher unless they traded their first round pick next year and there's noone they would want at 12 unless they gave up on McFadden and chose Mendenhall but I'm sure that they want to grab McFadden with the ammuntion they have. Dallas is very smart on draft day, no way they'd do that.... I wish though.
I could also only pray that DeSean Jackson lasts that long, but it won't happen either. If we were at 28 we'd probably be looking at Limas Sweed or Mario Manningham. I have no idea who that Zachary Bowman guy is but if you're looking for a corner at 61 I think it would be that other corner from USF or Tyrell Brown from USC.... but not Bowman. I'm sure he'll be ther at our 4th rounder.
Isn't Kraus from Michigan? He's like at the bottom of the draft, don't most think of him as an undrafted rookie? I also hope that Zbizowski and Hart won't last that long either. But, I guess I'm just a homer for Hart, maybe he will go that low. Please oh please Zbizowski... fall in the draft for me.
BTW: Doesn't everybody love Miami backers? But what made you say that, D.J. is the only one on the team we drafted.... Webster came from Cinci.

Trano, I stated earlier for this deal to happen it would be a pre-draft trade. So lets say that next week this trade were to happen the Cowboys would be armed with the 12th and 44th overall picks. That being said, when draft day comes along and Oakland were to pass on McFadden think of a team like Kancas City who has so many holes to fill, to swap picks with Dallas maybee Kancas City gets 12th overall. 44th overall, and probably a first rounder next year, while Dallas gets 5th overall. I would love to see it happen. That way Kancas city would have to first Round picks next year and could pick Ryan Clady at No.12. . and they would still have an extra second rounder..I could see it happening.

It just doesn't make a lot of sense for the Cowboys to do this trade, that's all. If they're planning on moving up to get McFadden then they'd rather only have to trade their two 1sts to do it, whereas in your scenario they'd have to trade next year's 1st as well to make it happen. They have way more flexibility and many more options if they just stay put and see what unfolds on draft day.
What they have now is more lucrative for another team. You're saying that they'll move up to the #12 spot just in case McFadden slips and that them having the #12 and #44 picks is more ideal, but this is where people will disagree with you. They have #22 and #28 right now and that offers the best possibility for them to move up rather than #12 and #44 because with 12 and 44 they have to throw in next year's first rounder, which they will not be willing to do. With their 2 first rounders they would only have to throw in a 3rd or 4th, if anything at all, to move up to #5.
That being said, if they really covet McFadden and/or Mendenhall then this makes sense because they'd be sitting there at #12 and then if they see the possibility of jumping up even more to get McFadden then they can make that happen, but if it becomes too costly or impossible to do so, then Mendenhall will be there for sure at #12. If the Cowboys don't want Mendenhall though, then this doesn't make sense.

I don't understand, the only way this trade would work is if the Cowboys wanted Rashard Mendenhall, is that what you're saying??
Because this is what I'm getting..... Dallas trades two first rounders and their late second for a mid second and first before draft day. Meaning that they're making this deal and hoping that Darren McFadden lasts past Oakland. So if McFadden does get drafted at 4 or above, they're screwed and stuck at 12th in the draft. But if he does make it past 4 then they trade the 12th, 44th, and next year's first for the 5th pick. So at the end of the day they lose both their first round picks, their second round pick, and their first round pick next year for a RISK of getting Darren McFadden that isn't even a sure thing. Why would they do that? Are they retarded are something? Make it like this, would you make that trade?
No. They could easily trade their two firsts and the 61st overall ON DRAFT DAY and get Darren McFadden at four as a sure thing instead of trading all their stuff before draft day and only hoping that McFadden lasts past the Raiders which is highly unlikely. The trade makes no sense, and you're the only one that sees it happening.

Denver gregs i think you watch to much of the combine and like highlight reels on espn. DeSean Jackson will be overpowered in the NFL, people are much faster in the NFL than in college. How long have you been a Broncos fan honestly, whens the last time u saw them take a wr or rb in the first round besides Lelie. And i dont know why everyone is turing on Selvin Young and Travis Henry, they were a good tandem, on being a rookie, one being a first year player on the Broncos. Henry lit it up the first couple games, and Selvin played very well with a beat up o line. The o line will be much more solidified with the draft, Weigman, and Nalen and Hamiltons return. I agree with you in a way, if they stay at 12 they should draft a wr, because Balmer would be a reach. Sims is a good pick in the second. MAYO 15 ahahahah are you crazy. First of all they are getting a rb and his stock hasnt gone up that much i say early second late first, jeeze 15 ahaha.
