From RotoWorld -

Raiders selected Arkansas RB Darren McFadden with the No. 4 overall pick in the NFL Draft.

McFadden has drawn comparisons to Reggie Bush as a back that needs to be put in space. But he was a physical runner at Arkansas, often lowering his shoulder to deliver blows. A north-south back, McFadden is strong in short yardage and a willing pass blocker. He may not break as many tackles as Adrian Peterson, but few do. McFadden will likely battle Justin Fargas to start. Michael Bush is looking more and more like the next Eric Shelton.

Cowboys selected Arkansas RB Felix Jones with the No. 22 pick in the NFL Draft.

Jerry Jones just couldn't resist. Felix isn't a three-down back, but he won't be asked to be playing behind Marion Barber (who just saw his value decrease). Jones can help on returns and adds the big-play explosiveness that Julius Jones couldn't to Dallas' offense. While Felix will be a fun reserve pick in fantasy leagues, he won't get enough touches to be starter as a rookie.

That's much much better and after a double-header sweep, I'll say my weekend has turned out alright.
