It’s difficult to measure Crabtree’s career with the 49ers. He slides in just ahead of Stokes despite less overall production and fewer years in a 49ers uniform. Where Crabtree stands out is that he looked the part of a No. 1 wide receiver during the height of the team’s success in the early 2010s. He posted 1,105 yards and nine touchdowns on 85 receptions for the 2012 club that went to the Super Bowl. A torn Achilles before the following year kept him from ever building on his breakout campaign. A fully healthy 2013 from Crabtree probably lands him a Pro Bowl nod.
