Maybe, but maybe not. He is being drafted as a pitcher and he had Tommy John surgery last year. One never knows if he will be able to pitch or not. However, if he wants the $2-3 million he will get at and he might jump for it . That would give him a little nest egg to plan for the future.He gone…Congrats to him
98-99% of first round picks end up signing. I would not count on Crawford ever playing a game for UT.Maybe, but maybe not. He is being drafted as a pitcher and he had Tommy John surgery last year.

This is a little different situation than 98-99% of other first rounders. There are several layers involved here that most, if not all, people on here are not knowledgeable about. It seems he will go on to sign, but there was some specific reason, unknown to us, why Crawford would announce his transfer publicly to Tennessee several days before the draft.98-99% of first round picks end up signing.

He’s probably just using his UT commitment as leverage for a better deal with SF.This is a little different situation than 98-99% of other first rounders.

I agree that Reggie will probably sign and you are correct in saying he's a little different than most 1st rounders. First, he's basically a Sophomore so he if he stays he would have leverage next year too. Second, most 1st round pics have hit their ceiling in terms of slot value. Reggie has the potential to be a top 5 type pick, thats $4, $5 or even $6 million upgrade from where he's drafted now. If San Fran doesn't over pay for his slot, then there is a chance he might come back. He's not taking $2.49, they will need to pay in the $3's for him to sign........in my opinion.This is a little different situation than 98-99% of other first rounders.

Yes, SF will almost certainly try to use his injury to sign him for under slot money. Will Reggie bite or bet on himself by going to Tennessee?I agree that Reggie will probably sign and you are correct in saying he's a little different than most 1st rounders.

OT, wouldn't you think that deal has already been made? Why would the Giants spend their only first round draft pick on a 'maybe?'

Seems like there is a lot of manipulation that is possible with a player going where they want. Seems like if he wanted to go to the Giants he could easily tell any of the teams, no, not interested, I’ll go to Tennessee.
Why draft Kumar Rocker at 11 last year with his medical? Why draft Fabian at 41, which is basically the first round, when the value is so similar? High picks reject offers all the time.
First round money isn't turned down very ofter, from my memory (which is poor, admittedly). In fact, I think it's rare. Any agreement can go awry, as did Rocker's last year, but I believe that was an outlier. And 41 is not the first round. The issue here is that Crawford was drafted late in the first round by a very successful organization. I maintain it's a 95% probability they wouldn't have done that without an approval/agreement for the money they offered by Crawford. To your point, there is that other 5% chance, but.............
I know that. I’m saying in value pick #30 and #41 aren’t that drastically different. #30 is $2.5 million and pick #41 is right around $2 million. To OT’s point, his value can be a lot higher if he bets on himself, but that’s a very low probability. My whole point is it’s just not that crazy for high picks to reject money. It happens more often than people think.
