The OFFICIAL Draft Michael Crabtree Thread

As of today, (November 11, 2008) we have the fourth pick in the upcoming draft.

Wide receiver does not seem to be the major need for the teams in front of us (Detroit, Cincinnati, and Kansas City). It appears that we have a good chance at drafting Michael Crabtree.

The question is should we draft if we have the chance, or should we attempt to trade down.

The fourth pick is worth 1,800 points.

Philadelphia has two picks in the first that are worth a total of 1,420 points--the 21st pick which is worth 800 points and 30th which is worth 620 points. A difference in our favor of 380 points. Their second round pick is worth 370 points.

If Philadelphia thinks that adding Crabtree will put them over the top, they might be willing to trade the house for him.

Should we make that trade?

My inclination is to say yes.

We have a lot of needs. I would take that trade for sure. Having 2 first round and 2 second round picks along with an early 3rd round pick should provide a nice amount of talent relatively quickly.

It's such a difficult decision to make. If we stay put, we would have our pick of Crabtree or one of the BIG 3 OTs. Either of these players would make a huge impact on our team on day 1. It's hard to pass that up.

Philly won't give up that much to get Crabtree when they can get Q for less than that. Q's days are numbered in AZ. They may try to move up for Crabtree but I honestly doubt they pay that much to get him. They also could look to Houshmanzadeh in the offseason.

Boldins days are numbered?? Yeah he is leading the league in receiving TD's and said he would play out his current contract (another 3 years i believe)

Did anyone see the play of Hill, Morgan, & Ziegler last night. Lets these kids play to see if they can make it and dont spend a top pick on a reciever.

They know they will lose him eventually, so why not trade him when his stock is high ? He doesn't want to be there and is fed up with being underpaid. He already let it be known he will not resign with them and demanded a trade earlier this year, he also knows it's in his best interests not to prove to be a cancer to the team so he's chosen to shut up and play. They could get a 1st and then some for him.

They wouldn't trade him before so why would they trade him now?

Maybe we should trade a draft pick for Anquan. He still has some good years left in him, and he'd be an amazing locker room presence and just a great player.

Boldin's stock was alot lower last year coming off an injury plagued season. I don't see Philly trading up for Crabtree anyways. They desperately need to address the offensive line.

Trading for Boldin and then drafting an OT makes alot more sense than Crabtree. As for Arizona Breaston's emerged as a capable WR this season so they may be willing to part ways with him at the right price.

They also have Doucet who could develop into a good WR as well.

They didn't trade him before BUT we also don't know what the offers were previously (and like was mentioned his stock wasn't nearly as high as it is now). They also had more of a need for him now and although he wanted to be dealt he continued to play (he avoided being a cancer and distraction), with him still under contract beyond 09 they held all the cards (no pun intended) and both sides knew that. They knew then that they needed him to help forge a winning season this year and a playoff appearance but with the emergence of Breaston, Q could now be dealt this offseason and they have another target beyond Fitz.

i don't think even the cardinals are rediclous enough to trade Boldin to a division rival.

I was referring to Philly. They have 2 draft picks and some posters here think they'll trade up with us.

AZ seems to be in a much better position than the other 3 teams in the NFC west so no freakin way do they send Q to one of us. There wil be too many other teams with legit interest in him that they won't even consider any offer from within the division short of a Herschel Walker type deal.

Philly sending us both 1sts and a 2nd to get Crabtree is highly unlikely. They are not stupid, he alone is not going to put them over the top. At least some posters here get that.
