Mark Sanchez has a great Pro Day

Sanchez is beginning to grow on me a little. If we were going to take him at 10, I wouldn't hate that decision.

Wasn’t Jay Cutler a guy who seriously improved his draft stock with an awesome Pro Day?

I don’t really have a point with that. Just sayin’.

My Dave Righetti is better than your Dave Righetti.

Denver

Denver probably has some ammunition to move up, with now 2 first rounders. The Niners should bluff and make Denver trade up ahead them, to force a better player to drop to 10 (ie Michael Crabtree, Andre Smith).

Say Denver trades up with Oakland to #7 and takes Sanchez. The Jaguars are then forced between Andre Smith and Michael Crabtree (presumably). Green Bay is obviously going OLB to fill their 3-4 scheme, and even if they take Crab or Andre, The Niners would then have a shot an Everette Brown.

Brown or Crabtree...

… would probably be the best decision scenario for the 49ers War Room. I’m just pretty sure it’s not going to work out that way, which is somewhat disappointing.

I agree

but I think Denver can sneak up to 7 with a good offer to the Raiders, so they can grab Sanchez (as long as the Niners start bluffing, or being serious about Sanchez).

Similarly...

… couldn’t another team jump up to grab Crabtree if he slips past the Raiders? Do you think Crabtree would be a player that other teams will be willing to trade up for?

That's always a possibility as well.

Jacksonville will probably be first on board to trade out to let someone grab Crab, based on the previous experience of the Jaguars first round WR choices anyway.

The Niners too, could also trade out of 10 to allow a team like Philly to grab the Crab.

Nooooo

If Crabtree is there at #10, I’d really want the team to take him. I know he has speed question marks and he didn’t run a large variety of routes in college, but what he can do with the ball in his hands just seems utterly amazing. This is not to mention that he at least has quickness, his hands and body control are supposed to extraordinary, and he supposedly runs the routes he DOES run really well.

I'm all for Crabtree at 10 too

I’m just saying the team could take things into consideration no matter who is on the board at 10.

Ulitmately, I hope we get Crabtree over any other player in the draft.

If Curry...

… were available, you’d still take Crabtree?

I know asking the question is kind of pointless and Curry really won’t even come close to being there at #10, but just curious.

Yes.

If Curry were there and Crabtree were there, I’d still want Crabtree.

This is going to sound crazy, but remember Adrian Peterson sliding in the draft because of injury concern?

Crab’s sliding in the draft because he can’t put up workout numbers while recovering from surgery. He’s doing the right thing for his career’s longevity. He is big enough, strong enough, and quick enough to be a very solid #1. While he’s no AP in terms of value (due to position), in terms of immediate output, yes. He’ll be a starter from day one.
