1. Crabtree will, in all likelihood, be a very good receiver in the NFL. This isn't a Peter Warrick we're talking about, here.

2. Guessing what Thompson will do in a draft is about as useful as teaching a blind man sign language - nobody will get it right. That said, his track record thus far is taking the BPA and not drafting for need - if that holds and Crabtree is there @ 9, AND if there isn't another player the Pack have slotted higher than he is, then he'll probably draft him, no matter what our opinions on the matter are.

3. As someone smart pointed out earlier, you never know what you really need at this point - there was a lot of negative opinion when he picked Jordy last year, but when Jones went down I know I was happy to have him.

Finally, as 93Z has pointed out time and time again, the offseason isn't anywhere near over, and won't be after the draft, either. Perhaps Thompson picks Crabs and then some team who really wants him calls looking for a trade - if that team has someone that can help our D or our O-Line, maybe he makes a deal. Who knows?

Personally, I think we're good @ receiver, but I'll have to disagree with those who think he's not going to be good or is an iffy pick - I saw more than enough game film of the kid to know that he can play.

By the way, guys, it's "receiving corps," not "receiving core."

People forget about one thing about Crabtree, and that was he was a qb when he went to Texas Tech, so he has that qb instinct when it comes to routes. Heres a nice little video you might want to check out. Btw there was another guy that was a qb turned wr that turned out pretty good, Hines Ward seems to know how to get open.





Edit: I added this video i found and tell me he wouldnt be perfect in GB he catches alot of passes over the middle and the quick slants which should be our staple pass play like it was in 2007.

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

This point changed my argument. I was initially against grabbing Crabtree until this came up. It also makes Crabtree looking good as a Packer and Jones or Jordy expendable. Personally, I like the sound of Driver, Jennings, Crabtree, Jones (I actually like Jones more than Jordy).

The whole premise of this entire thread will be moot by the time of our 9th pick, as Cleveland is taking Crabtree. We will be looking at a board that has Sanchez on it, and possibly Raji. We are trading back with Denver, in order that they can get Sanchez, not because Orton sucks, but because he might suck and that moron coach will need a plan B to place in front of those fans that are going to have to endure watching the Broncos get their asses beat repeatedly this year. Call it his "Ya but, at least we have our future QB-reach pick". He has to do it because SF might be thinking the same thing, the Jets the same, crazy Dan Snyder, etc. We are going to hang onto the edge of our seats and pray that Oher remains until we pick, Ted is going to pick him, and we will have another selection to address another need, reasonably early in the draft. How do I know all of this? Because I have to know this in order to remain reasonably sane until our next pick in the second round, where I fully intend to start the insanity process all over again, as soon as the card is handed in for the first round selection...that's why. :thumbleft:

And on draft day this will be the consensus of 90% of the PackersHome forum. Why? I'm not sure, call it a prediction.

Is that our very own Jordy Nelson we catch a glimpse of at the very beginning of the video?

I think you are exaggerating it a bit. Nobody is ridiculing the pick that I have seen at least.
