NFL Combine Underway; Crabtree injury steals spot light

The NFL Combine has started in Indianapolis and teams are going through interviews with potential targets, offensive lineman are starting to run their drills, and the offseason picture is becoming clearer for every team as the weekend progresses. Along with the combine comes a lot of articles and blogs attempting to make predictions for draft day. I have read several blogs posted on ESPN.com that are following the happenings in Indy, but this morning, the main story followed the injury of Michael Crabtree. Crabtree got a stress fracture in his ankle, and he is projected to be out for 6-10 weeks. Some think that this may shake up the draft a little bit and he may slide down the board on draft day. I personally dont think that his draft stock will be that effected. He has a lot of time to make a full recovery before any training camps start and he is clearly the top WR and one of the most dynamic offensive threats in the draft this year. I would be very suprised if he fell out of the top 10 and if he wasn't the top wideout taken. But you never know what could happen, only time will tell.
