A plea for Crabtree.
-
I would really like to see us pick up some receivers, and would be quite happy with Crabtree. But I also think we would be better off getting a pass rusher in the first round, and picking up a guy like Hakeem Nicks in round two, or even Jarret Dillard later on.

Is Orakpo/Brown and Nicks a better use of our picks than Crabtree/Sintim?? Doubtful.

Curry/Nicks is.
By the way, Herm Edwards didn't even show up to the Senior Bowl. With Tyler Thigpen's biggest admirer (other than Tony Gonzalez) gone, Kansas City could go QB at pick #3.
Let's hope Pioli falls in love with Mark Sanchez.

Like basically everyone else I was set on either Curry or Mays. Now if Curry's gone before our pick I don't have any guy I really want. Seems that just like Calvin Johnson rode the hype all the way up to #2 overall, the hype is dying on Crabtree and he's starting to fall. But still he was named the best receiver in the nation twice, as a freshman and sophomore. He doesn't have the blazing speed but he's definitely a big play guy and a real gamechanger who still hasn't even reached his full potential. That last play vs. Texas wasn't an accident.
And when you look at all the high drafted WRs recently you'll notice that the teams drafting them have no QB, no offensive line, and/or no running game. When we already have a good line, hopefully a good quarterback, Braylon strectching the field vertically and Winslow drawing more attention away, Crabtree would step right into that great cockpit we accused DA of being in, and make the offense incredibly dangerous.
Right now I still have my heart set on Curry, but if he's gone Crabtree is probably next on my list.

Arizona just advanced to the Super Bowl based solely on their passing game.
As great as the Fitzgerald/Boldin combo is for Warner, an Edwards/Crabtree combo could be similarly devastating.
Maybe????

People see these big catches by Fitzgerald and they think that's all there is. That's what they focus on.
At least mz the pussy must be focusing on that and nothing else if he thinks they got there "Soley" on their passing game.
Arizona got there with the 2nd best defensive team versus the rush throughout the playoffs and a well rounded offense, including over 100 yards rushing against a very good Eagle defense.
If you think this current Brown's defense is going to lead you to the promised land if the Browns would only add a big time reciever or two then you are going to be very disappointed.

I just wonder when Crabtree and company would be able to get on the field with the defense the Browns currently have.

Doubtful.no way sintim makes it through the first. with so many teams playing a 3-4 right now, he'll be in high demand, as will larry english, a guy i really, really like. he's looked fantastic in senior bowl practices so far.

Yeah, I think Crabtree/Clay Matthews is a more likely scenario (though English could fall to Round 2).
Sintim's struggled a little bit adjusting to playing 4-3 SLB, but that was expected. More importantly, he's shown an ability to drop back and cover TE's, which is something he didn't do all that much at Virginia.
Matthews is good (I consider him a lunch-pail Lawrence Timmons), but he's far less 3-4 OLB ready and may not be as refined a pass-rusher.
