Is there a compensatory pick system for situations like these? I think it's crap that players can do this, as it totally screws over the programs that are trying to improve through the draft. I think an extra pick at the end of the third round would be at least something to help these teams recoup.
I know its the 49ers, and a lot of us still hate them because of that whole "we couldn't beat them for the entire 1990s" thing, but imagine if this was our team. I personally think the NFLPA should step in and tell Crabtree to get his butt on the field or get ready to go work in the real world where people don't make millions to catch footballs, and have to work 9 to 5 days, and overtime, and fly coach, and drive minivans instead of Italian sports cars.
