I know this is off topic but why is it people are so into getting more draft picks and like that Ted Thompson does that? If i remember correctly i think Packz reported that we have less players we can carry on the roster this year; so more picks just means more picks that will probably be cut from the team. I could be wrong but say we trade like a 3rd for maybe like two 4ths and a 5th. So instead of getting a possible starter we have 3 guys that probably won't make the team. Like i said i just dont get that whole trade down idea to get more bodies that Ted Thompson loves to do.
Also we all know Ted Thompson will draft a wr (just like Millen) he does it every year. So why not take Crabtree if he is there. I will be purchasing his jersey no matter what team he plays for :)

Because the more picks ("bodies") you have, the more chances you have of getting SOMEONE out of the group that can actually play.
Just look at every 1st round pick from last year. There are some that are doing OK, some are a bust, some are so-so. And every year you see some late round guy that ends up doing more then any of the "draft guru's" thought.
Driver was what, a 7th round pick i believe? You can go over the draft each year, and see who surprised everyone........good AND bad.
The "can't miss" pick, that misses. The "unknown" that steps up and has a great season.
The more people you have, the more chances you have of getting someone good.
Usually after the first few picks, it pretty much is an even playing field anyway. All the "future stars" (who might or might not be so) are already gone.
