youre kidding right? He's the most over hyped fucker in 5 years.
He comes from an EXTREMELY pass heavy offense....matched up with that WEAK big12 conference defenses. He barely was forced to play in press coverage AT ALL. Trust me...they let him roam free. Not t mention he's 6'1'' barely and runs a 4.6...al davis is goffing at you. I can go on and on
the 9'rs bit the bullet drafting a slot reciver at # 10
I disagree. Have you watched him play? I've watched him several times and his numbers are no fluke. Terrific hands. Great route running. Great feet. Excellent football speed. I could care less about his 40 time. Forty times don't mean squat, particularly when a player has produced like Crabtree.
Barely 6'1? Like that's a problem? How tall was Jerry Rice? How tall is Steve Smith?
If you want to talk about a mistake, it's Heyward-Bey. He has Troy Williamson written all over him. Both ran blazing combine 40s. Neither produced on the field. I'll take a player like Boldin who ran a 4.6, but can play, over a guy like Williamson who ran about a sub 4.3, but can't play.
Crabtree is a great football player. Very happy the Niners drafted him.
