With the foot surgery and no 40 time, people begin to wonder about how skills will translate at the next level. I can think of a couple of USC WRs who were pretty good in college, but not able to separate in the NFL. That is why I have Crabtree sliding down the board. Also, he was not as tall as his college listed him. Lastly, he played in a system that is pretty prolific at putting up passing numbers. All in all, it's just a hunch on my part that he slides on draft day.

Why did the Texans pass on him? Gee, look at all the rebuttals I got about Jeremy Maclin about how we had the 3rd best offense, the 23rd ranked defense, Kevin Walters is a TD machine who we don't want to move to the slot, etc.

There were many times in which I wanted to make a trade, but it's too much of a headache to try to figure out who has which pick to trade and how much it's worth. So, in stead of trying to come up with one of a bazillion computations, I went with the straight no trade mock.
