Everything I'm reading says he's a project. Played just one year f college in high school and started just one year of football in college. Supposed high ceiling but will require patience.

 

[jazzcat22]

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

Wasn't this what they also said about Lissemore....

OVERVIEW
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.

Ha! Still loving what Chad did!

What did he do?

On Crawford...

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 and lacks ..

Welcome to the Dallas Cowboys Mr. Tyrone Crawford!

 

[jazzcat22]

Ha! Still loving what Chad did!

Yeah, that was awesome....

 

[Hostile]

Michale Lombardi loves the pick.

 

[Eddie]

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.

BPA tomorrow. But do we go OG again? Would the player be another Nagy/Arkin?

No. 81: Dallas Cowboys - Tyrone Crawford, DE, Boise State
Grade: B+
When you draft a guy from Boise State, you know he's well coached and is a hard worker. Crawford is another great addition to an already solid defensive line. He's got a great burst off the ball and is stronger than he looks.



However they didn't have him on their short list of BPA...

 

[Risen Star]

I endorse the Crawford pick. Wouldn't be my pick, but not bad.

 

[Eddie]

No ... keep our picks. Not much difference between 4-7 picks. Don't give up the late picks for a 4th. Heck, move back and get another 5 and 6th.

Wasn't this what they also said about Lissemore....

there are definite similiarities between the two.

 

[TheCount]

He sounds a lot of Lissemore, and we still have Hatcher, Spears, Gaethers and Coleman. I'm not sure how he fits as an immediate impact guy, especially since he's so light. I don't want to have another "wait 3-4 years" type guy, but I'll stay positive on this one and hope he contributes early.

 

[jblaze2004]

so what is he? a OLB, DE? He is 275lbs.

 

[TheCoolFan]

At least they're going with a leaner, quicker player at DE instead of the same 300+ lumberers they've been running out there

 

[Leadbelly]

Seems like a guy who will come on during passing downs this year. Probably a couple years and 20 lbs from being a full timer though. Contributor and RKG.

Not loving it but definitely a different dimension from what we currently have. I guess Ta'amu is considered a one-dimensional guy. Surprised to still see him sitting there.

Oh gee, thank God you approve.

there's a big difference between 4 and 5, 6 and 7 talent.
