That is assuming that someone doesn't trade up. I don't see Crabtree falling past #4 or #7. So, using that assumption of value, Crabtree is a better value than Sanchez. I'm not saying we should take Crab, but he appears to be a better a value.
4 Seattle Seahawks
5 Cleveland Browns
6 Cincinnati Bengals
7 Oakland Raiders
8 Jacksonville Jaguars
9 Green Bay Packers

Value is always tempered with need.
It's the same principle as to why Chiefs shouldn't take a player like Smith. Yes, this is a player worthy of the value of the selection, but the team already has a LT, so it would be dumbass move.
Same reason why teams like Cleveland and Oakland are not going to take a QB.
I wouldn't consider it a lock that Seattle would pass on Sanchez, though, without knowing how much money is tied up in Hasselbeck.
Anyway, Crabtree is not a better value than Sanchez. Go to draftplanet and read some of the material there about him not being considered an "elite" WR by some analysts.
