The numbers look too low for Crabtree.

As a rookie he averaged 4.4 catches and 56.8 yards per game, which equates to 70 catches for 908 yards in a 16 game season. I would expect him to improve his numbers next season and finish with something like 80-90 catches for 1000-1200 yards.

 

[FavreCo]

RBFrank Gore: 256 rushes for 1147 yards and 7 touchdowns; 53 receptions for 412 yards and 1 touchdowns.

Barring injury, Gore will have those rushing #'s sewn up by week 10.

 

[CDM49er]

Gore will have better number (barring injury), I would guess 1800 all purpose and at least 10 tds.

Crabby should have at least 80 grabs and 7 tds

Smith will have less than 17picks, maybe 12

Vernon looks about right

basically, these projections are telling me that i'd rather have chad henne than alex smith. which is what i thought, then thought i should go smith, then went back to henne, and finally landed on smith.

at least henne is still available in the 2010 draft.

That sounds about right. As a rookie he was a marginal WR3 that you could count on for 4 catches and 60 yds and maybe get lucky w a TD. In his second year, I definitely expect him to improve on those numbers. Later in the year he was getting open deep alot but Smith kept underthrowing him. With more practice time together, it wouldn't suprise me to see 85 catches for 1200 yds and 8 TDs.
