Draft Result

Drafted in the 2009 Draft by the San Francisco 49ers in the 1st round with the #10 pick.

Crabtree is a great value at #10 and fills a major need for their passing game. I also don't expect Crabtree's diva concerns to be an issue with Mike Singletary there to keep him in check. It is also interesting to see Crabtree get to play with Isaac Bruce a player whom I think Crabtree is very similar too.
