he loves every pick

yes he does :laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2:

 

[Miller]

Boise St guys are well coached and the D wqas a more relentless than people think. So hopefully this guy fits the bill.

 

[MackNorth]

If Mayock is happy, I'm happy!

 

[burmafrd]

very raw. But a non stop motor. Will need to be developed but is a truly nasty type

 

[gimmesix]

Developmental player apparently with injury history according to Norm. I don't know about this pick.

The spin will be that we had him rated much higher and was surprised he was available, but it was because of the injuries.

Had to get one that fit that description, but we couldn't in the second this year.

 

[a_minimalist]

he was projected to go in round 2. that's not a bad thing.

Isn't Scandrick a Boise St. guy?

 

[Mash]

We'll that was uneventfull

No nothing about this kid.....but the war room loved it

 

[fanfromvirginia]

Do we have a Coleman replacement? If so, I like him.

 

[gimmesix]

I don't know a thing about this guy.Nhes 275 lbs, so we are going to get smaller upfront, that's awesome.

Sure we don't want him to slim down and play OLB?

nfldraftcountdown had him at 85 in their mock, and Mayock had him at 73.

 

[a_minimalist]

he had the second most sacks on boise st in 2011

Ha! Still loving what Chad did!

According to CBS Sports.

6'4, 275 lbs

Ranked as their 8th best defense end, 54th overall best player.

Crawford attended Bakersfield College Career out of high school where he played for two seasons. He started as a sophomore and was the conference's defensive MVP, finishing with 42 tackles, 14.0 tackles for loss and 8.0 sacks, earning Junior College First Team All-American honors. Crawford was a three-star JUCO recruit and transferred to Boise State after the 2009 season. He served as a back-up defensive end in 2010 as a junior, recording 32 tackles, 13.5 tackles for loss, 7.0 sacks, 1 pass break-up and 1 forced fumble. Crawford became a starter in 2011 as a senior (11 starts), finishing with 44 tackles, 13.5 tackles for loss (team-high), 6.5 sacks, 3 forced fumbles and 1 fumble recovery (returned 32 yards fora score), earning First Team All-MWC honors. Crawford has a strong, filled-out frame with adequate height and length for the position. He has good quickness for his size and looks coordinated in his movements, but he lacks the natural burst and get-off speed to be a consistent pass rusher. Crawford isn't a quick-twitch player, but can move up and down the line of scrimmage with very good strength, he is still raw and offers some upside as a base end in a four-man front or possibly as a five-technique in a 3-4 scheme and should hear his name early on the draft's third day.


Strengths: Looks the part with a strong, defined frame and good length (33' arms, 9' hands). Has good quickness and athleticism for his size. Coordinated with smooth movement skills. High effort rusher and works through the whistle. Relentless worker, fighting off blocks and battling to the ballcarrier. Has strong hands and holds his own at the point of attack. Stout anchor when he plays low to the ground. Has strong practice habits and coaches talk highly of his work ethic. Has been productive at the FBS-level with a combined 27.0 tackles for loss and 13.5 sacks the past two seasons. Offers some scheme versatility.

Weaknesses: Not a quick-twitch player who will consistently threaten the edge. Has limited explosive qualities andlacks great initial burst or overall range for the position ? not overly flexible or loose. Has a limited array of pass rush moves and needs to improve his technique in this area. Struggles to locate the ball at times and needs to do a better job with his read/react skills. Has some durability concerns, missing time this past season with leg injuries. Has only year as a starter at the FBS-level and was part of a rotation-heavy defensive front ? limited experience against top competition.

NFL Comparison: Pernell McPhee, Baltimore Ravens -- Dane Brugler

From Lance Zeirlein in Houston..sports host and draft guru(has draft websie) and his Dad was Pitts o-line coach..Larry

Lance Zierlein ‏ @LanceZierlein
I LOVE Tyrone Crawford for Cowboys. Tough and physical and absolutely sets the edge with a strength. Very good value in the 3rd

Also

Evan Silva ‏ @evansilva #Cowboys @ 81: Tyrone Crawford. Will compete at RE in Dallas 3-4. In 2 yrs at Boise, had 27 TFL, 13.5 sacks, 2 blocked kicks. Pushes pocket.

 

[Eddie]

What's up tomorrow?

I still think we need to target a Center.

 

[Phrozen Phil]

He's 6'4", 275 and could fill out a bit more:

Profile:Crawford ended up at Boise State by way of junior college, proving himself an intriguing prospect after only one year starting at defensive end. He is originally from Canada, where he played for a year after high school and prior to attending Bakersfield College. He has a ton of upside considering his history, and possesses prototypical NFL athletic ability and speed on a perfect frame. He can play in various spots across a defensive line and could be plugged into a number of schemes. He is a bit of a late riser and has second- or third-round value as a developmental prospect with starting traits.
ANALYSIS
STRENGTHS Crawford is quick to get out of his stance off the snap and has the instincts to slant and hit a gap without being touched. He is consistently disrupting plays in the backfield and is a solid tackler. He is a strong player who shows an explosive arm jolt when keeping blockers at bay. Crawford shows good change of direction when stopping to pursue plays laterally. As a rusher, his motor is the key to his success. He never gives up on a play and can use a strong burst to get to the quarterback. He has a ton of upside, which undoubtedly increases his value to teams that are set at the position and willing to work with him. Despite his size, he could play special teams early on in his career because he has such a nasty demeanor.
WEAKNESSES Crawford is a raw prospect with limited experience. He will be a project early on for the team that selects him, and he could have a tough time adapting right away. He has had trouble getting off double-teams, which is likely a technique issue. Crawford will need extra coaching and attention to adjust to the NFL.

[johnnyd]

the irony. Sanu... good for him . that d bag that pranked him should be flogged

 

[gimmesix]

Good news is the next pick will likely be an OL, based on Jerry's stated needs of the team.

Bad news is the only one who will be available is Slim Pickens.
