    Matt Millen is gone, so they may go to actually picking a different position. I assume Stafford will go number 1.

    Jags & Raiders would probably love to have him. He could go top 5 to Seattle or Clevland

    I would like to see him in Oakland. NOLA if he falls a little...

    Tech might take a small step backwards next year but atleast we got Eric Ward a 4* WR to switch his commitment from OU to TEch last night. Add that to Emory Blake another 4*WR and Eric Stephens a 4* RB. I'm really interested in what Leach to do with these guys the next few years....

    I would be shocked if Crabtree wasn't taken in the top 10.

    He would have to run like a 4.75 at the combine, drop a lot of balls, and get arrested for drugs all in the next couple months for that to happen.

    I think he isnt as fast as others think... I say he runs a 4.4 or a 4.5. hes got excellent size and hands though

    true but their offensive line is really bad. they need to draft an o-lineman like Michael Oher.

    I think he will run around 4.5 as well. Considering he's 6'3 and 215 that's pretty damn good. Speed is not his greatest asset but certainly respectable. People look too much into 40 times anyways. How's that 4.38 working out for Ted Ginn?

    There are some good free agent OL that could bolster that.

    I wonder how far down the DEA bust of his roommate will drop him -- 50 grams --> 2nd round...

    Ted Ginn & Matt Jones wouldnt EVER trade their careers with Larry Fitzgerald, Anquan Boldin, Terrell Owens, T.J. Houshmandzadeh, Marques Colston....

    Body control, body position, route running, hands...cant be slow in the NFL, have to have some kind of seperation speed but like they say how many times does a WR run 40 yard routes?

    Crabtree should be alright.
