Scouting report: Michael Crabtree

Strengths: An incredible collegiate wide receiver who has good hands. Consistently catches the ball away from his body. Gets nice separation while running routes. Very quick off the line and in his cuts. Does a good job after the catch. Willing to go over the middle and catch the ball in traffic. Has an NFL-ready body with good bulk throughout. Could stand to get stronger in his legs, however. Long arms.

Weaknesses: Lacks great straight-line speed. Fair or not, Crabtree was incredibly productive in a pass-friendly system at Texas Tech so there are questions about if he's a system player. He hasn't had to run a lot of NFL routes. Hasn’t had to read defenses while at Texas Tech. Not the best blocker. Had a few key drops in his career.

Final word: Crabtree’s collegiate career was nothing short of extraordinary. In 26 games, he had 231 receptions for 3,127 yards and 41 touchdowns. His play is reminiscent to Andre Johnson of the Houston Texans. He has a solid frame and great hands. He routinely plucks the ball out of the air away from his body. The biggest drawback to Crabtree is the system he played in may not prepare him to read defenses. He also doesn’t have outstanding speed.
