Really though that does suck for him and i wonder if it will have any affect on where he gets drafted. I could see it not really doing anything I doubt Crabtree will drop much at all. However, my "wishfull thinking" would be OT A Smith, thought to be the best OT in the draft, may very well drop big time do to his statements and "no show without notification". Could he drop to 18?

However, my "wishfull thinking" would be OT A Smith, thought to be the best OT in the draft, may very well drop big time do to his statements and "no show without notification". Could he drop to 18? He just did not show up for the Combine? And what were his statements? Report
February 21, 200917 yr comment_58559 He just did not show up for the Combine? And what were his statements? He showed, weighed in, but chose to not work out announcing he had just begun working out about 10 days ago because he was looking for an agent. This did not sit well with some of the team reps. Then, without telling anyone, he decided he would return to prepare for his pro day by taking a flight at 6am this morning. Some are heavily criticizing him for the lack of communication with the team reps and the powers to be that run the combine. So, it may not effect him at all, but some might begin to question his intelligence for the mistakes he made, the comment he made when he did not participate in the weight lifting, and his lack of work ethics. Small stuff when you consider how talented he is, but when you are investing the money teams have to pay for a top 10 selection, it might cause him to slip some, but how far? Report
February 21, 200917 yr comment_58565 Smith came to the combine and openly admitted he was an idiot for coming out of shape. There's no way Crabtree falls to us. Even if he starts to fall, teams like San Francisco, Washington, and the Jets will be all over him. Report
February 22, 200917 yr comment_58580 The statement that set it it all up was his stand up at the weight lift, Everyone that does not lift has to give a reason why they are not to the coaches and the other players, during his stand up he stated he was just not ready physicaly to do the lifting. He took a bunch of heat over that, I guess honesty gets no points at the combine, Billick and Mayock really threw him under the bus with comments like (paraphrase) "You never tell them that , Make someting up but never tell them your not ready". Really makes it look petty in my eyes. Report
February 22, 200917 yr comment_58581 Yeah, but still. Who arrives not ready to do anything? Or without some sort of plan? Its just the job interview that is going to set you up for the rest of your life. It raises some red flags. Report

Its just the job interview that is going to set you up for the rest of your life. It raises some red flags. Agreed. Remember when Mike Williams interviewed everywhere, and said all the right things? Bear fans were furious we didn't take him with the #4 pick. On hindsight, he's actually worse then Bastard Benson. Last year Forte dominated the senior bowl, and showed up at the combine saying and doing all the right things. That's what a player is supposed to do. If a guy can't get his shit together for the combine, he'll be a bust. Stay away Bears. Report

Heard on the SCORE this morning that Crabtree has a stress fracture in his foot(i think) and will be out for around 10 weeks. Will he even be ready for his pro day? Does anyone know when his pro day is? If he can't go by then that could cause him to drop to us and then I wouldn't go for him because of the injury. Report

I doubt he will push it. He has produced such a body of work over the last 2 years I do not see him dropping out of the top 5 in the draft even without running a "Pro Day". Report

February 22, 200917 yr comment_58652 Crabtree's saying that he'll still run at his pro day, then have the surgery afterward. Terrell Owens had a very similar injury and had no ill effects after, so I doubt it'll drop Crabtree at all. He should be able to run a passable 40 at his pro day, then go get a screw put in his foot. Report
February 23, 200917 yr comment_58665 If he's going to do that why not run at the combine so you can get your surgery done and be ready for training camp? Makes no sense to me. Report
