The San Francisco 49ers worked out guard Tyrell Crosby from Oregon last week in his hometown of Las Vegas, Nevada, according to a report from the Sacramento Bee. The team met with him at the NFL Scouting Combine and appears to be doing more homework on the offensive lineman with the draft starting next week.
While a broken foot caused Crosby to miss most of his junior year in 2016, his stock rose after a strong showing at the Senior Bowl in January.
"I like to make myself known on the field," Crosby said in February via the Palm Beach Post. "Off the field, I'm extremely quiet and keep to myself, but when I get out there I want to be the best player on the field. I like to get after it. I like to finish people and be aggressive. I really finish people, then I fall on top of them so they know I'm out there."
At the NFL Scouting Combine, the 6-foot-5 and 325-pound Crosby had a 40-time of 5.23 seconds, a vertical jump of 30 inches, a broad jump of 105 inches, completed the three-cone drill in 7.89 seconds, had 17 reps in the bench press, and a 20-yard shuttle time of 4.77 seconds.
"According to Pro Football Focus, Crosby didn't allow a sack or even a quarterback hurry while playing left tackle for the Ducks in 2017," wrote Matt Barrows. "Some teams see the 6-5, 325-pound Crosby as a right tackle in the NFL, other teams reportedly are looking at him as a guard."
NFL.com projects Crosby to be a second- or third-round draft pick.
Lance Zierlein of NFL.com, who compares Crosby to Jeff Allen, wrote the following within his scouting report:
"Evaluators may stick with Crosby at right tackle in the pros, but his issues with hip tightness and gaining enough ground to the edge in pass protection may force a move inside to guard sooner rather than later. Crosby has technical issues to smooth out, but he will appeal to teams who covet size, length and strength as he puts big checkmarks in those boxes. Crosby is a bulldozer who can generate good movement in the run game, but he lacks the body control for desired consistency at tackle or guard. He has NFL starting talent but he may have a limited ceiling."
Tony Pauline of Draft Analyst wrote the following within his scouting report:
"Crosby was a solid college left tackle but projects as a right tackle or guard at the next level. He gets the most from his abilities but has limitations and needs to consistently block with proper fundamentals to have an impact at the next level."
49ers players say Jimmy Garoppolo looks 'real good' and has improved since last week

Jimmy Garoppolo's playing status against the Los Angeles Rams this week probably won't be known until gameday, but it sounds like he's been making visible strides in practice, based on what his teammates said Thursday.
Garoppolo sat out last week's win over the Houston Texans in favor of rookie Trey Lance due to a thumb injury that may or may not require surgery in the offseason, but he's been back at practice this week as the 49ers prepare for their season finale in Los Angeles (4:25 p.m. ET/1:25 p.m. PT, FOX). He was naturally a popular topic of conversation during post-practice media sessions on Thursday, with reporters wanting to know the players'
49ers' Trey Lance discusses improvement since last week, preparations for possible start against Rams

If Trey Lance has to start at quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers this week in their pressure-packed showdown against the Los Angeles Rams, he'll at least have a good idea what he's getting into, along with a little more improvement under his belt since his previous start.
Lance's status for Sunday's game in Los Angeles (4:25 p.m. ET/1:25 p.m. PT, FOX) remains up in the air due to the lingering uncertainty surrounding Jimmy Garoppolo, who was sidelined in favor of Lance against the Houston Texans last week due to a thumb injury. Head coach Kyle Shanahan has yet to announce who will start the game at quarterback, but Lance has been staying ready this week, in part, by splitting reps with Garoppolo after getting all of the first-team reps last week.

49ers guard Laken Tomlinson focused on beating the Rams, not his contract situation

Laken Tomlinson has an opportunity to make a lot of money this offseason, putting his family in an even better situation. The San Francisco 49ers guard is scheduled to become a free agent during the upcoming offseason. There is no doubt that the team would like to retain one of its most consistent players.
Tomlinson has started every game since Week 2 in 2017, the year San Francisco shipped a fifth-round draft pick to the Detroit Lions for the former No. 28 overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft. He'll likely earn a nice payday in the coming months.
That isn't on his mind right now, though. Instead, Tomlinson and the 49ers are focused on making the playoffs. To do that, they have to pull off another regular-season sweep of the Los Angeles Rams on
49ers-Packers: Jimmy Garoppolo 'feeling good' he'll play but will 'feel it out' throughout the week

Jimmy Garoppolo hopes to be on the field when his San Francisco 49ers face the Green Bay Packers on Saturday night in the Divisional Round of the playoffs. The quarterback isn't just dealing with the torn ligament and chipped bone in his right thumb suffered in Week 16. He sustained a right shoulder sprain in Sunday's Wild Card win against the Dallas Cowboys.
Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Garoppolo will be limited in Tuesday's practice. Before heading out to the practice field, the quarterback spoke with reporters and was asked how confident he would play on Saturday.
"We'll feel it out throughout the week," Garoppolo responded. "But yeah,
