Crowell gets second round tender

I really thought they'd use the tender process to resolve his value for the long term. Now this sets up as a "one more and done" situation.
Agreed..matching offer sheet for Mack & matching tender on Gipson. neither worked the next season after, they get ugly quickly..I'll be watching Pitts James Conner at combine.A Power blocking front needs a power back. check out Conner's tape if you have not seen him
Long-term deal? Has he signed his tender?

What did you think? Connor's 4.65-second 40-yd was better than I expected, but nearly every other measure was worse.

There's a report from Jeremy Fowler that three teams have "inquired" about Crow.

He's not worth a second rounder.

Never saw this till now T. 40 was fast for him. Connor & K.Hunt fit rounds we may use, unless they know Crow's real intentions. Both always push forward & run physical. Connor was thought to have better hands,Vision & balance but not to shifty..not to sure about hands after combine. as said "some guys run faster being chased".seems to fit James..(seen nothing on Pitt Pro day?)

Pittsburgh pro-day is scheduled for March 22. Here is the full pro-day schedule for the NFL.

My position hasn't changed much on this since the original tender - anyone willing to give up a second round pick for Crowell is welcome to him. I'm happy to bring him back at that salary (2.8m?) and think he'd be pretty good behind our shiny new line, but there are plenty of serviceable backs available later in this draft or in free agency. Hell, even giving Duke Johnson more carries wouldn't be a horrible idea.
If we keep him, great, if we get a second round pick for him, great. Maybe we can also throw Brock into the deal...

Seems to me that a lot of these Pro Days should be combined...and maybe they are though I could not tell from this link. I know in the past a lot of the Ohio MAC schools would hold their Pro Days at Ohio St. when OSU was holding theirs.

Most big schools will do a pro day, but smaller school guys might latch on to other schools. I mean, if you're a receiver and your QB can't throw for shit, you don't want him to be the one to help you show off.

Why not?
For me it's field vision...
Yes, he amassed some impressive stats, but they were often aided by some amazing, unmistakable holes either created by our OL (that was seen as overrated by many here) or game circumstances (trailing by more than one score late).
When he first joined us we were a ZBS team and he struggled to ID seams and make decisions. As we've moved to a power run game his numbers have improved because few decisions are required of him. However, when they are, e.g, when a play breaks down, his ZBS problem resurfaces.
I like Crow. He's a good runner. He's a good receiver out of the backfield. And he's good at picking up the blitz as well. He's easily worth more than the $2.8mm tender and I would like to see him stay a Brown. However, he's replaceable. It would be hard to turn down a second round pick for him.
But I will be surprised if we have to make that decision.

Sounds like a coaching problem that can be fixed.
Having a legit threat at QB does wonders for the run game. Play action is deadly.
More versa vice in my mind... as in the run game sets up PAP. But when you're trailing by two scores both tend to go out the window.
As for coaching... it's RB101 that you cut off the tail of a blocker, but when the RB doesn't do that then I don't see how it's on the coach.

Trade him. Take Mixon in the second, or Fournette if he makes it to 12.
Crow isn't great. He's just the best we've seen on our bad team in a while. Easily worth a second.
