The NFL draft combine is in progress this weekend, but I’m not paying too much attention. I’m not the draft junkie some other NFL fans are, so the combine doesn’t hold much appeal. Over the years, the combine has become more of an event, particularly since NFL Network began covering it. That’s fine — NFL Network’s mission is to cover the NFL to the max — but I’m not really watching.

That said, the big news I’ve taken from the combine so far is receiver Michael Crabtree’s foot injury. The stress fracture might drop his draft position out of the top five. Then there’s Alabama tackle Andre Smith, another anticipated high pick who suddenly left the combine. Perhaps surefire top-10 picks should know better than to attend the combine.
