He's too good to only wheel out on the odd occassion. There's a learning curve that accompanies all rookie receivers, but as we saw with Eddie Royal and DeSean Jackson last year, you can find ways to get them involved and no doubt if the Seahawks draft Crabtree they will do.Rob Statonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16481945325907207562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5053006193215777292.post-87705791962641904052009-04-25T11:23:00.000-07:002009-04-25T11:23:00.000-07:00Hey ROb,

Is this true? Wouldnt Crabtree be able to be our starting WR? Or at least the #3? Im hopeful he can step in and be our starter from day 1 though.

Last year the first round was broadcast live on a UK cable channel called Sky Sports, however due to a scheduling conflict they will instead only be showing a highlights show on Sunday.<br /><br />I've just got back from broadcasting at an English soccer game, and it's going to be a long night following the draft into the early hours. I haven't seen the Mrs since last night and let's just say she isn't impressed.

But if we pick him, I'll just have to trust that Mora thinks we didn't use those 3 elite LBs properly, and it will be different with him.Mind of no mindnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5053006193215777292.post-5522483899250377652009-04-25T10:51:00.000-07:002009-04-25T10:51:00.000-07:00All I'm going to say is - don't rule anything out....All I'm going to say is - don't rule anything out.

According to ESPN and SeahawkAddicts.com, Crabtree is a diva. In his trip to Cleveland, the Browns "crossed him off their list" because of his personality, same with the STL. And on a Bistol trip with ESPN, his behavior with other ESPN personal was terrible.<br /><br />Do we still want him?<br /><br />Now I REALLY hope we trade down and get Moreno.Louisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5053006193215777292.post-34670142233486761972009-04-25T10:09:00.000-07:002009-04-25T10:09:00.000-07:00Jim Mora made an interesting comment a couple days...Jim Mora made an interesting comment a couple days ago about the draft picks fitting the culture he's trying to create. Curry and Sanchez make the most sense. Crabtree doesn't.<br /><br />Personally, I'd like to see Sanchez. I agree with Mayock that he doesn't have the ceiling of Stafford, but his floor is higher. Stafford IMO has the biggest chance to bust (watch his film and see how many great catches his receivers are forced to make). Sanchez has all the intangibles that give him the biggest chance to helm a winner (footwork, intelligence, media savvy, desire, the dreams of his cultural ancestry to be a champion). QB is worth the kind of crazy money they will be paying.neilchrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03773216436210704771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5053006193215777292.post-2065713060562916912009-04-25T10:08:00.000-07:002009-04-25T10:08:00.000-07:00Thanks again Rob for all your coverage of the draf...Thanks again Rob for all your coverage of the draft leading up to this moment. <br /><br />Here's how I see the action at #4:<br /><br />1. Seahawks try their best to trade down (maybe targeting Moreno and Jenkins)<br />2. Failing in that, they settle for Jason Smith if he falls to them. He doesn't make sense with the way they've got their roster constructed right now, but damn if he isn't the picture of a Ruskell guy.<br />3. If Smith's gone, Curry. LB isn't a premium position but he's got an elite skill set and a great Ruskell-y character.<br />4. If Curry's gone too, then it's Sanchez. Ruskell already busted big with Lewin Projection System All-Star David Greene, so why not try the opposite? It worked for George Costanza.... :)<br /><br />And Crabtree's not on Seattle's board.Steve in Spainnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5053006193215777292.post-40325912456333313682009-04-25T10:05:00.000-07:002009-04-25T10:05:00.000-07:00I really dont know what to expect.

I personally want KC to pick Curry, as I do not want another expensive LB on our team, especially when we could use that #4 pick on something a lot more important, such as a QB for the future or possible a star WR in Crabtree.<br /><br />Im still on the Crabtree bandwagon. I wouldnt mind Moreno either.Louisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5053006193215777292.post-86417382721506425232009-04-25T09:28:00.000-07:002009-04-25T09:28:00.000-07:00Thanks for all the work you've put into the blog t...Thanks for all the work you've put into the blog the past few months, Rob. I've really enjoyed checking in daily for my draft fix. With Crabtree seemingly sinking under the weight of his ego (now even ESPN is bashing him for his behavior during his Bristol tour) my ideal draft would look something like this: <br />1) Aaron Curry<br />2) Brian Robiskie <br />3) Chip Vaughn<br />4) Jonathan Luigs<br />5) Rashad Jennings (if he lasts this long)<br />6) Stephen McGeeCraignoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5053006193215777292.post-6758868895389271012009-04-25T08:33:00.000-07:002009-04-25T08:33:00.000-07:00I can't wait!

Rob Rang has us with Sanchez and Clark has us taking Crabtree. What a crazy day it's going to be. <br /><br />If I had $100 to bet right now I would put $50 on Curry and $25 each on Sanchez and Crabtree. Personally, I hope it isn't Curry because I think we have ample proof that having three great LBs doesn't win championships. I think the seat under Ruskell is getting a little hot and Sanchez won't do anything to relieve that since he won't contribute, likely for a couple years. Trading down for someone like Wells or Moreno makes the most sense followed by Crabtree but I think I feel pretty comfortable saying - I have no clue what's going to happen. Enjoy the day everyone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
