Michael Crabtree to the Raiders?


Michael Crabtree is a talented reciever from Texas Tech University. He was considered the best player available before the combine. The he didn't perform at the combine or have a pro day work because of foot surgery. His surgery went well and doesn't appear to hurt his draft stock as much as not performing at a workout. Then he measured at just over 6' 1'' which is 3 inches shorter then the protype reciever. Crabtree stock went from a solid top 3 pick to the seventh pick. Teams near the top won't draft him he is considered a risk. Seattle filled it's reciever need in free agency and the browns and bengals already have top flieght recievers. Then the Raiders pick at number seven. The Raiders haven't had a true number one reciever since 2006 with Randy Moss. At worst, Crabtree shouldn't fall beyond the number eight pick of the Jacksonville Jaguars who do not have any proven talent at the reciever position.
