Still the man?

Texas Tech WR Michael Crabtree is currently the second-rated player on the board, and it's hard to imagine a scenario in which he falls out of the top five at any point between now and draft weekend. That speaks to how much they value his pro potential. However, it is understandable if some teams are skittish about investing top-10 money in him. After all, Crabtree is two inches shorter than advertised and he appears on film to possess nothing more than average top-end speed.
In addition, Crabtree is recovering from surgery on a stress fracture in his left foot that will prevent him from running for NFL coaches and decision-makers. My argument is that Crabtree's game is not predicated on speed and that two years of game tape prove his potential as a difference/play-maker. Then again, im not the one deciding whether to put tens of millions of dollars in his pocket.
