Michael Crabtree was thought to be one of the best (if not, the best) receiver in the draft this year. Unfortunately, he wound up dropping to the 10th overall pick and had to wait until after the Oakland Raiders selected Darrius Heyward-Bey to land a team. In his own mind, not only is Crabtree better than Heyward-Bey (arguably true, but beside the point), but he feels he's better than an overall 10th pick. So he's currently holding out for a contract that would be suitable for a top five caliber athlete (which he feels he is). This is stupid for two reasons: 1) The 49ers are not going to pay you MORE than what the Oakland Raiders paid a receiver who was picked three slots ahead of you and 2) you're effectively ruining your own reputation before it's even created. You didn't even get to practice in the combine because of an injury. No team really has a clue if you're NFL ready or not and even in the event that someone wanted to pay you the money you're looking for, who would want to put up with such an egotistical diva? I know as a GM, I sure as hell wouldn't. You keep sitting around waiting for that big time contract, loser. Heyward-Bey (who's not as good as you), will be making more money, making more catches, and making a much better name for himself than you ever will.
