I have a feeling he goes to Oakland. Davis drafted McFadden when the RB's he had were fine... I have a feeling he'll get Jamarcus a good WR target to go along with the RB partner for him. Its just the way Al Davis is. get flashy offensive players in the first and then shore up the Oline and Defense after that...

the guy will be eligible this year. and we'll have no chance of drafting him unless we trade way up.

umm he's probably a top 5 pick and at least top 10. last year you bashed the FO for trading up to get Harvey... so why do you condone trading up and wasting all the draft picks we need for depth across our team that our FO has failed to fill in the past few years to get "another SH WR Bust"?

I think Crabtree will have a Larry Fitzgerald type career but honestly we don't need to trade up and spend half our picks for him... Maclin or Harvin in the first I'd be ok with but I don't think we need a WR in the first I'd rather take one in the third...[/quote]

judging by the state of the teams who COULD be drafting...it doesnt seem any of them need a WR desperately...heres the bottom 10 starting with 10. (note these numbers do not factor in this weeks results)

10. San Diego Chargers 2-3
9. San Francisco 49ers 2-3
8. Cleveland Browns 1-3
7. Seattle Seahawks 1-3
6. Houston Texans 1-4
5. Kansas City Chiefs 1-4
4. Oakland Raiders 1-4
3. St. Louis Rams 1-4
2. Cincinnati Bengals 0-6
1. Detroit Lions 0-6

Judging by those 10 teams only the following have a glaring need a receiver:
San Francisco, Seattle, Oakland, St. Louis

And if you look at it there is 1 thing that these teams need, offensive lineman. If the season ends with those teams in the top 10, i would expect at least 3 of them to trade down..

there is no doubt that michael crabtree is a top 10 talent, but depending on the state of the top 10 he could rightly fall into the mid to late teens
