HOWEVER, while teams were turned off because of similar things about Crabtree(not running the 40 because of his foot, but Crab didn't have any of the other problems either, but Mangina did call him a diva so I dunno), Scotty WASN'T. He was in love with what he saw on film, Crabtree fit his mold for a player, built solid(there are guys the same height as Crab but built like stick figures, Crab is solid and runs really good routes and has good hands) while still having decent athleticism, he could block, he came out of a spread O that threw the ball all over the place, etc. It's the same thing for Dez Bryant, insane production, he's solid, he runs like he's mad at people kind of like TO did, he has some character concerns, and if he's around at 17 or even 13(which he could be considering a lot of teams ahead of us don't need wide outs except maybe Denver and they're leery of guys with questionable characters) I suspect Scotty would pick him. He would present very good value for the spot, he's an explosive athlete even though he's not the burner we need(which would be DeSean Jackson but Scott hates small players!
), he has the production to back it up, and he has character concerns and Parker as an agent but I don't think Scott would be afraid of picking a Eugene Parker player seeing as he outlasted Parker last year and probably feels like he won that battle. Scotty has already stated he loves big players who are strong and athletic, that he goes by his BPA on his board and doesn't really let small issues stop him from drafting a player. He also loves to draft guys from spread offenses despite our HCs always saying we're wanting to be a smash mouth team. Smith, Crabtree, Morgan, Nate Davis(I think came from a spread, could be wrong though), VD might've come from a spread too, I'm not sure what Maryland runs. Not only that but we could use more weapons because Morgan may not be more than a #3 and none of the guys like HIll/Jones stepped up last year to be the #2 to crabtree's #1.
WHat do you all think?
