Trade Marshall for Crabtree

Highly unlikely, I know; but, think about it. Let's do a little recap of this years past draft. It was good, it was great, but was it wonderful? For the 49ers(who might as well have a dinner date with the Minnesota Timberwolves over players that didn't sign in the draft), the prospect of losing this year's first rounder and receiving a supplemental pick next season is monumental. First...and a little off topic I might add, Crabtree has missed every single practice and preseason game thus far. He is in no shape to do anything more than enter next year's draft and be selected somewhere near the fifth round for fear that a recent college grad will be in better shape. Second...and more on track than the first, everyone was shocked when the Raiders selected Darius Heyward-Bay over Crabtree. That decision and Al Davis' intuition to select good players and horrible coaches seem's to be wonderful. Now we have the idea running through our head that the best wideout of the year may have been Heyward-Bay.
Let's get to the good and the beefy part now. Think of Denver and what has happened to them over the past six month's. They went from a crappy team with no real chance of going anywhere to a horrible team with NO chance of going anywhere. And, did I mention that they have third string talent starting at quarterback? I have one suggestion and I leave it on the mercy of the readers to think critcally; trade Brandon Marshall who wants out anyways for the rights to Crabtree. Neither of them have much preseason in them this year and send a second round pick next year to Denver in that trade just in case Crabtree does not sign.
I think this is good, let it be your choice.
