Let's all be fair though, Crabtree was the best player on the board. He might have some injury concerns and it wasn't a need, but he was the best player available.

But still, will us not taking Crabtree mean that Raji will become a bust? And how does this look anything like Mandarich? Raji has been through tests at the combine, he didn't use illegal substances to artificially raise his strength. He'll be a solid player at worst. And without the injury problems like Crabtree has and which we all hate because of some DE.

The difference is in the position being played. There are always good receivers out there but seldom very good NT's. They are a rare bird.

So when it comes to BPA you have to factor in the number of times you will be sitting there with an opportunity to get the best NT in the draft vs. WR.

I mean one team alone picked up Jennings, Jones, and, Nelson in the 2nd round. How many good NT's have come along in the 2nd round? I don't know how Raji isn't in the running for BPA when NT's are hardly ever available.

He was the BPA, yes. But Thompson alluded that he wasn't someone who had only one approach to the draft, and that the situation of the team dictated the approach. Crabtree was the BPA, but as it turns out, Thompson was drafting for need this go-round.

And this, this is funny. DHazer had been going on for weeks about how Ted would just trade back and take the BPA, just bagging him - so draft day's here, we get to pick 9, and if DH is right you gotta think he's going to get the guy he wanted... and Ted goes need! Then he trades UP and fills another need! If ole Haze had been right about Teddy, he'd be pre-ordering his Crabby jersey right now. You can't write comedy that good - you just can't.

And it does........history repeats it's self every time you post anything reguarding TT.
Hindsight makes everyone a GREAT GM. The fact that you can look back at Barry & Deion Sander's career and point that picking Manderich was a bust..........wow.........you should have been the Packers GM back then!
Oh.....I of course can make the pick of either Sanders NOW too.
Did Ted Thompson pick Tony Manderich?
Didn't think so.
So what does that have to do with Crabtree OR Raji?
What if Crabtree is a bust? How many times have we seen WR's that had great college careers, and touted as "can't miss" picks, ended up being average or worse? More times then i can count.
We have a solid WR corp, and our GLARING weakness was on D.

I would bet money that if Ted Thompson would have picked Crabtree, you'd be yelling "He passed on Raji!!! We HAVE WR's! Ted Thompson should be FIRED!!!"

Face it.......even if Raji turns out great, you will still be "hatin'". We all know thats the fact......."history repeats it's self".

So....because Harrell has done nothing so far, that means automatically that Raji is lousy?

Boy.....can't argue with logic like that!
(cause there IS none there to argue with)
I think you SHOULD become a Lions fan.......you'd fit right in with them! But they are YEARS ahead of you, cause they have had Matt Millen as GM for so many years. You could visit their site, and learn all NEW things to call Ted!!!
