Lattimore has got some great upside. I really like Green Bays pick of Lacy so late also. He is coming from a great program and heading to another. He is gonna be killing it with the draw plays, I like his ability between the tackles for sure.

Michael Crabtree could be out for the season with a torn achilles. I really consider him one of the more underrated players in the league and it could be a huge loss for the 49ers. Luckily they signed Boldin, but having both of those guys going would have been key for them. It'll be really interesting to see the battle for the division between them and the Seahawks this year.

Judging from highlights, Crabtree hasn't done anything since he left TTU.

I think he's one of the better possession receivers out there, and is great at picking up yards after the catch. Unbelievable hands and, while he's not fast, he consistently pulls off great open-field moves to pick up more yards. Kaepernick was relying on him very heavily, so it's a huge loss for the 49ers.

That's spot on, and it's worked for a lot of receivers. You don't have to be fast as long as you can get open, and Crabtree is very good at getting away from guys who are faster than him. He's also kind of big for a receiver. Only 6'1 but 215-220 I believe, and he can jump higher than almost any defender.

This should be a show.

I could see him having some success there, actually.

McDaniels is a great QB coach, and if anyone can find the right scheme/situation for Tebow, it's BB.

Tebows best possible situation is in New England

New England Patriots' Aaron Hernandez likely to be arrested - NFL - SI.com

Holy ****.

Just insane how stuff like this constantly happens in the NFL. Obviously he's innocent until proven guilty, but it definitely doesn't look good for him right now.
