Won't happen. Parker is a very VERY good agent, reputable and very professional despite the fact that most 9er fans dislike him due to the Crabtree negotiation saga. Bryant will still go in the top half of the 1st round.

I don't think this will impact our decision to draft Bryant or not one bit.

Its tough to build a franchise while avoiding one of the biggest agents in the game. This is business - personal grudges have no place here.

These prospects have to quit listening to Deion Sanders. He does way more harm than good.

Why, Sanders recommends these kids to sign with one of the most reputable agents in the biz. Have you seen the recent contracts he's negotiated ? Larry Fitzgerald (not just his extension either but go back and look at his rookie deal where being drafted #3 he still managed to get paid as well as the #1 pick), Jason Peters or Steven Jackson ?

Nice job by Deion

Overreaction by my brothers on the board.

Parker is one of the top agents in the game, and Michael Crabtree was only one in a sea of clients.

Once again, the issue with Crabtree was his inability to workout before the draft. This made his value a mystery, since all scouts, coaches, teams, GM's had was his game tape. Bryant will be working out for scouts, and he will have every opportunity to show his ability, speed, hands, and more.

Does anybody really think Crabtree would have been drafted 10th overall if he worked out? There is no way. So, Parker, as I argued all along, had a very strong argument, especially after his play in 2009, and how pathetic DHB looked on the field.

Bryant is not the player to watch in this draft. It is Bradford, who may not be able to work out before the draft. So, his agent may take the same approach: that his true value is based upon his dominance at the college level, and projection in the NFL. Especially if some QB off the radar jumps over him in the draft, just like DHB jumped Crabtree.

In other words, there is too much of a reaction on this thread.
