BuckyFillUps Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 If we take a WR on day one, it'd better be Darrius Heyward-Bey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand how this happens so often. Did Crabtree and Texas Tech think that nobody would ever figure out that he's 6 foot 1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lets_go_bills Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 I laughed when I read that on rotoworld. They said he's 6'1 and 1/4". And he already announced that he wasn't going to run. This may hurt his status a bit, but I doubt it. He won't get passed Oakland at number seven, you can take that to the bank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeJuiceSimpson Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 If we take a WR on day one, it'd better be Darrius Heyward-Bey. Bucky is loving some DHB. I'm becoming a fan myself. Nobody that tall should be able to run that fast. That being said I still think you gotta go Crabtree if he's there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thoner7 Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Who cares? That height makes him 2-3 inches taller than our tallest DB. Jerry Rice wasnt 7 foot tall, and he ran a 4.7 forty. I watched college football, and Crabtree is the best no matter what the little numbers on a stopwatch want to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched college football, and Crabtree is the best no matter what the little numbers on a stopwatch want to say. Exactly. Wayyyyyy too many people around here get caught up in inches and half seconds at the combine. Anyone who would seriously consider drafting Derrius Heyward-Bey ahead of guys like Crabtree, Jeremy Maclin, and Percy Harvin have either not watched college football for the past couple of years or simply don't pay much attention to what they are watching. But go ahead, campaign for a guy who is a half inch taller and a two tenths of a second faster than other guys who are better FOOTBALL PLAYERS. It's the Vernon Davis approach.

BuckyFillUps Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 DHB can play. there is alot of film on Crabtree because of the offense he played for. I'd would love to see DHB with 3 years in texas tech's system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerball Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Uh-oh...Bad news for Crabtree. Stress fracture in his foot, 10 weeks on the sidelines, surgery required. (per NFL Network) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bizell Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 i dunno, i tihnk i'd take percy harvin over any of these guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Jose Bills Fan Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 The original question was do we take Crabtree if he falls to us. He probably won't fall that far but if he does you'd have to consider him. This is a great draft for top end wideouts and in spite of the allergy that teams have developed for taking a WR high, a few of these guys you mention are exceptional talents. But in answer to the question, it depends on who else is still there. It would be tempting to do it for sure. As for not running at the combine, he'll run at his pro day so even though they are different venues/surfaces, the scouts will still be able to evaluate his speed. Not running at the combine shouldn't hurt him, unless he runs a poor time at his Pro Day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Jose Bills Fan Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 i dunno, i tihnk i'd take percy harvin over any of these guys. I like Harvin a lot too bizell but he had a pretty lengthy injury history in college and I don't think you can risk him too high in the draft. Just my opinion.

BuckyFillUps Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Harvin would be a sick slotWR/3rd Down RB. Injury history scares me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuckyFillUps Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Anyone think he's going in the top 10? Someone in the late 1st is gonna get on f*** of a WR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Jose Bills Fan Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Well the question then becomes, Where will he be drafted? or put another way, How far does he slide? Cause he is gonna slide. Probably not far though. I bet he's still in the first round. (Wouldn't that be great if he made it all the way to our pick at #42? That would never happen though).

Buffaloed in Pa Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 I`d say we grab him no matter what if he falls to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Jose Bills Fan Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 I`d say we grab him no matter what if he falls to us. Wow, That would be a bold and controversial move. You would take him over anyone who might be available? What if (and I know this is very unlikely and hypothetical) B.J. Raji or Aaron Curry happened also to be there? Regardless, this injury of Crabtree's really thickens the plot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
