With the 10th Overall pick, The San Francisco 49ers select...

Last week, my Niners snagged a great Draft pick with the thanks of The Oakland Raiders draft choice. With the 7th Overall pick, and the Raiders in desperate need of a Wide Reciever, Oakland chose WR Darius Heyward Bey [Maryland] over what many have said was the best overall receiver in the Draft, Michael Crabtree [Texas Tech]. The choice shocked the Football world and is forever known as one of the biggest question marks in Draft history.

Bey wasn't even projected to be chosen until the 2nd round of this year's draft, and analysts don't even have him as the 3rd or 4th best receiver in the draft. Bey is better known for his speed (40), and ran a 4.33 at the combine. But in order to use your speed, you have to catch the ball first. Analysts across the country showed no hesitation to grade the Raiders draft choice an F. The 9ers on the other hand were on the outside looking in once Texas Tech WR was still on the board when it was their time to choose. Crabtree was then taken as the 10th overall choice and is added to an offensive hungry team, in San Francisco. The Niners haven't had a pro-bowl type of wide receiver since T.O. was with the team. But many are hoping for that to change now with Crabtree on the squad. If San Francisco can get their QB situation under control, and a healthy Frank Gore, they could have a very dangerous offense.

With 3 years of college ball, Bey had a total of: 138 Receptions, 2,089 Yards, and 13 Touchdowns.

Opposed to Crabtree's 2 year college total of: 231 Receptions, 3,127 Yards, and 41 Touchdowns. You do the math...

Ahhh I already can't wait to see Crabtree in that Red & Gold uni.
