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.

Strengths An elite talent that should flourish immediately. Ideal size and outstanding hands. Uses body well to position himself well against defensive backs. Able to make plays in the open field after catching the ball. Solid route runner

Weaknesses Played in a "gimmick" offense in college. Perception of players in a Mike Leach offense is not positive among NFL scouts. Doesn't have the breakaway speed that some of the other WR on the board possess.
