Browns souring on Crabtree?

by Dan Kadar on Apr 22, 2009 11:50 AM EDT in 2009 NFL Draft

Tony Grossi, Browns beat writer for the Cleveland Plain Dealer has gotten some info from "a source" regarding Texas Tech wide receiver Michael Crabtree's visit last week to Cleveland. If this is true, the Browns could again be looking at Brian Orakpo with the fifth pick.

The Texas Tech receiver brought a diva attitude on his visit to the club facility last week and did not impress coach Eric Mangini and others, the source said. In fact, Crabtree was described by some in the building as "not nice." After Crabtree left, Mangini secured last-minute workouts with borderline first-round receivers Hakeem Nicks of North Carolina, Kenny Britt of Rutgers and Mohamed Massaquoi of Georgia.

In other beleaguered Browns news, Southern California quarterback says he's had little contact with the Browns since the combine.

It’s weird to me how many Browns fans want Maualuga. I have a Browns blog and asked who the Browns should take with the fifth pick. After 974 votes, Maualuga is third in voting. Crazy.

Personally, I want them to trade down. Only way that happens will be if Sanchez is still there.

They want to select him with the 5th pick?

Or trade down for him? The former would be really crazy.

Also, I’d be interested in seeing your Browns blog if you give out the url.

About Crabtree....

I heard him being interviewed on The Dan Patrick Show on the radio. I gave him lots of points for avoiding some of his silly questions. He is kinda media-savvy

Someone described him as the next T.O. (lol)
