Former Arkansas running back Darren McFadden has a new home.

  The Oakland Raiders just selected McFadden with the fourth pick in the 2008 NFL Draft, ending months and months of build up regarding where the Razorback would begin his pro career. McFadden was surrounded by family members in the green room at the Draft in New York’s Radio City Music Hall when he was selected. He got a hug from everyone.

  Oakland is one of the destinations that was a likely fit for McFadden. The Raiders and New York Jets were both in the market for a running back and had him high on the list. There were some rumblings about Oakland trading the pick, but it appears (barring a draft day trade) McFadden will be wearing silver and black next season.

  Next up on Arkansas’ draft board will be running back Felix Jones. Where does he go? The Dallas Cowboys are the trendy choice. But stay tuned.
