It's Curse Of Bretsky Time...

[Joemailman]

For the uninitiated, the Curse Of Bretsky refers to a player that Bretsky wants the Packers to draft, who goes on to be a major disappointment. So who gets the Odell Thurman Memorial Trophy? Michael Crabtree? Andre Smith? B.J. Raji?
Brian Orakpo? Tyson Jackson?

As Mr. T would say, "I pity the fool!"

[RashanGary]

It's Crabtree and while he might be good, I don't think he's a star.

[Partial]

They were talking about the very real possibility of Machlin and Crabtree being there at 9. They said if so, those two are without a doubt the best players in the draft and they should go that route.

They also said they would likely deal DD for a second if they landed one of those two.

[Bretsky]

Michael Crabtree should be GB's pick at 9 if he is there

[RashanGary]

I'd rather have Donald Brown, RB, UConn, than Michael Crabtree.

[RashanGary]

I'd take Knoshown Moreno before Crabs too. Moreno is going to be a star.

Shall we send him our condolences? Oh Wait. His career can still survive if the Packers pick him.

well you can pick up a hell of a lot of draft picks trading down that far

don't fool yourself; if TT took Crab you'd be drooling all over him

Dude, why are you thread crapping Harelll? Moreno? Moreno has skills but he isn't an elite prospect because he is slow. Other than that you've got to love his shake and bake.

I don't know why you don't like Crabtree, but to me that is a reaffirmation that he is going to be very, very good. I don't get the system wideout claims really, as you consistently see him over power people in traffic and in double coverage to make the big play.

Take the play to beat the Longhorns, for example. Double covered, in a clutch moment, guy makes a huge play and manages to maintain body position and stay in bounds. Hell of a grab, and the type of play you want to see.

Let's not kid ourselves. This guy has done something very rare in college, and has looked great doing it.

"They." Ah, the ubiquitous "they." Who are "they"?

LOL @ someone giving us a second for DD with Marvin still on the market and Boldin available via trade.

We'd be lucky to get a 4th or 5th for Don.

Please stop positioning yourself as some sort of talent evaluator....Money Morency called, he wants his career back.

As for Moreno, he is as elite as Crabtree. Both have a weakness..speed. Moreno was freshmen all american, 2 x all sec, 2nd in the doak as a soph. All this playing in a pretty easy offense...no complex passing game to take advantage of his receiving skills.

That is elite.

[Fritz]

With the curse of Bretsky, anyone can be a talent evaluator. If Bretsky swears by a guy, he's doomed.

This year, it's Crabtree. Whoever picks him will see him injured, busted, or lazy.

However, the Pack has never drafted a guy Bretsky likes, so maybe if the Pack drafts Crabtree that won't happen.

Oh sorry, I swear I typed a preceeding sentence but I must have highlighted and over typed it.

WSSP was discussing this proposition all afternoon today.
