NFC North High Picks

Especially given that Crabtree has a bit of a reputation as a "diva WR", demonstrably being willing to sit out the entire year in order to get what he wants has to hurt his draft status, right?

LOL, what does he do next year with the Raiders pass on him again and he is back in the exact same situation, just at an even lower spot in the draft order? Does he sit out another year and re-enter the draft a third time?

So what happens wrt the 49ers in that case? Are they just screwed out of their pick?

I think so, but google didn't confirm it for me during my 30 second search effort.

Hee is where you are mistaken, Sharpe. If Crabtree sits out an entire year and re-enters, he will become true "Raiders People" and Al will surely draft him.

Supposedly Raji tweeted "I'm ready when they are" yesterday. Don't have a link, does anyone have one? This is a second hand account.

According to Bedard, he has heard that the Packers are being very frugal and are holding up the negotiations. They're trying to penny pinch here. He evidently has sources within the organization.

Bedard, attribute something that casts the Packers in a negative light from an untraceable and unnamed source? Never!

Where is that coming from?

I can't believe the Packers would say well we're $250,000 apart but we won't move.

I'm guessing with no contract signed around pick 9 the sides might be $2,000,000 apart, that isn't pennies.

This was from Bedard in an interview on WSSP. Evidently Raji tweeted the first part himself.

I have no idea what the situation is, but didn't they refuse to pay a punter like an extra 250k over two years this summer? One of the better punters in the league at that? This is what they said on WSSP. I have no idea if its valid or not.

There is a little difference between a punter and your first round draft pick. I'll go check out WSSP. Thank you.

And for anyone who thinks the organization is pinching "pennies," why not also find fault in the player for trying to grab those same "pennies." If it's such an insubstantial amount of money, then why hold out over it?

Because there's no "I" in team, but there several in "Cha-chiiiing!"

You can find ME in team if you look real hard.
