Overview

Four-year starter with adequate size and impressive power at the point of attack. Crumedy plays with top-notch pad level off the snap and through the rep. He's not quick enough to consistently play into gaps but does feature quality knock-back pop and can handle himself against double-teams. He's slightly below-average as a pass rusher but above-average as a run defender and should continue to improve with better technique. Crumedy has the potential to become a rotational lineman in odd or even fronts.

Quote

Strengths

• Four-year starter with plus power at the point.
• Maintains proper pad level and features jolting knock-back power.
• Good transition from anchor to quick disengagement to tackle ball-carriers.
• Possesses physical tools to align as interior defender in even or odd fronts.
• Shows ability to dent the pocket with pure power.
• Consistent in mirroring pocket movements of the passer.

5th-6th Round Grade on most sites and big boards

5-tech/3-4 DE

Per Brugler (paraphrased): If you grade the flashes, not many guys have his athletic movements & power potential combination at the position.  Needs to be coached up to become more consistent.

ESPN mentioned he's a good space eater. Could have upside as a good rotational piece. Presume he's here to help with the run defense and opening up lanes for our LBers.

I see this need--a run plugging DT.  Goal line, run stopper.  I wanted C, but they don't think there is a need.

Run stopper. Not much of a threat to get sacks, but let's LBs do their job. Love this pick in the 6th

I’m impressed with his consecutive start stat. That is a big + for that position. Takes determination and resilience. Everything else can be taught or improved.

HAIL STATE!

If this guy winds up giving us 30-40 quality reps per game as a rotational piece, it's a well spent draft pick.

[Shocker]

Nickname is “Big Baby” says the beast.  At this point worth a shot

Or there isn't a possible upgrade left on the board.
