To leapfrog a team at #2 or #3 who would take him otherwise.
I know it's something you hear every year about big running back prospects (including AD last year), but McFadden's "upright" running style scares me quite a bit, as does the shape of his body. I don't think I've ever seen a running back with legs as long as McFadden, and his are pretty skinny. He reminds me a lot of Terrell Owens, the way he runs and moves on the field, which is definitely a testament to his playmaking ability, but it makes me (and other, real scouts for the matter) worry about how well he'll take hits in the trenches in the NFL.
