Not the same imo. Darwin barely, if ever, blocked for Jordan Love at Utah. Mcfarland HAS blocked for his QB and stood up Ok from the highlights I've seen.

McFarland stuns defenders in the hole with that burst/power combo too. Hit him as he accerlarates and he will run through you. Havent seen any of that from Thompson. However, they are similar enough to where the need for both is questionable.

Depends where he falls. We all agree we need a 3 down back. It depends where Veach sees him and if he thinks he can be a 3DB. I never worry about too many RBs as they are all one hit from an injury.

Now I wouldn’t go above 3rd round on him. I’d rather see another need addressed. Let’s see how things shake out: No secret what I feel this team needs. Cb/ILB/RB/WR.
