Crabtree at #3

Coogs · 04-03-2009, 02:42 PM

My first choice would be Sanchez, but I don't think that will happen. My 2nd choice is Crabtree. I know many of you don't agree, but I think he would be perfect for Haley and the new offense.

Bowe ran a 4.51 forty. Crabtree is listed at 4.55 on NFLDraftCountdown. That's actually faster than the Cards duo.

Boldin ran a 4.71 forty. Fitzgerald ran a 4.53 forty. These two guys make it work without getting the defense all jammed up as some here claim it would for Bowe and Crabtree.

And here is what Kiper has to say in a chat from this afternoon on ESPN.com...

Quote:

David (Austin): Who does Michael Crabtree compare most favorably to in the NFL?? Do you think there's any "bust" potential with Crabtree?

Mel Kiper: I don't see any bust potential. He's competitive, sure handed, tough WR. I think he compares to a Larry Fitzgerald and an Andre Johnson. If he's anywhere close to being as good as those two, you hit the jackpot.

So if we pass on Sanchez, Crabtree would be the guy I would like as of April 3rd.

it's going to be a tradedown for Barwin or Brown

I would hope for a tradedown, but I don't see it happening. Detroit takes Stafford and the Rams take the OT. And I don't see anyone trading up to #3 for Sanchez or Monroe.

Why don't you see that? Seattle is sitting in the perfect spot right now. If Stafford goes to the Lions and the Rams take an OT then Seattle has their pick between Sanchez and Monroe/Smith. Not only that.....but if someone trades up for the #3 pick.....Seattle still gets what's left over.

If we trade down for Connor Barwin in the first round, everyone in the entire organization should be summarily executed.

He is nothing, absolutely nothing, like DeMarcus Ware.

Oh my God.

He's played one year of defensive football.

Yes he had a great combine.

Yes, he has great athleticism.

He is also rawer than raw.

Most people believe that he'd be a reach at 34, and you are seriously advocating taking him with a selection in the top half of round 1 (we aren't going to be able to trade down any more than that). Think about that.

Is he really any better of an athlete than Lawrence Sidbury? Not by much.

Is there any mock out there that has him even going in the first round that is by a reputable source whatsoever? I'll profess to never having seen one. Mayock, Wright, WalterFootball, Kiper, none of them have the guy as anything more than a second or third rounder.

Hell, I love the guy, I said he had Jared Allen type upside, but there is no way in hell I'm taking him with a first round pick.

Immediately

I think Crabtree is definitely under consideration by the KC brass. Haley being a WR's coach and OL and having great success with Fitz and Bolden. Pioli seeing how dominant the team became with Moss and Welker. I say 50% trade down, 40% Curry, 5% Orakpo, 5% Crabtree.
