# 49 & #79, your fears will become reality. . .unfortunately.

As far as Crawford; does he love football? Sounds like a developmental pick. . .

By taking Crawford you are indicating you are going to run a 4-3 defense. 275 lbers (this guy has Howie Long’s height/weight measureables) can’t play the five technique. This guy won’t be able to drop in coverage, so he’s not going to play olb. I prefer the 4-3 but i thought Allen was a proponent of the 3=4. So what’s going on?

Jack Crawford

StrengthsCrawford has an amazing frame for defensive end. Taller than 6-foot-5, he is going to get his hands up and disrupt passes at the next level. Even if he has to develop early on, he can contribute right away in this aspect. He is athletic for his position and it shows when he is running down cross-field plays. He is adept at shedding blocks and getting to the ball. For a raw player, he has a surprising feel when working against the run game. He struggles against the pass and is still developing his technique to be more effective there, but his frame gives him plenty of potential.
WeaknessesCrawford is still developing as a football player. It is obvious at times that he hasn’t been playing the game very long; he has difficulty reading offensive lines and reacting to plays against the run. Once there, he is disruptive and effective, but he could be a deer in headlights early on at the next level. He is not very quick off the ball and will need to continue to develop his speed and burst. He looks nice but can’t really burst in short areas to get to the quarterback and finish the play.

I just hope CB Chris Greenwood, 6′1 192, 4.42 forty and a consensus “Draft Sleeper” does not turn into a steal for the Lions.
