If it's a smaller yard and a sprinkler system with smaller zones, then this will totally do the trick. You just might have to blow out each zone a few times (make sure to set the PSI to about 60). I've been using a 6 gallon pancake like this for my (slightly less than 1/4 acre) yard, and it works fine. It really doesn't take that long.
It likely won't get all of the water out, but it will get most of it out, which is really all you need.

I think it was the 2-tank 4.2 gallon one though (not the one-tank 2-gallon) so while the tank is smaller than this Craftsman, the compressor itself may be more powerful and rated for 4.2CFM at 90PSI vs only 2.6 for this pancake.
So even though the tank gives you a bit more in reserve, you might struggle on a larger system.
That being said, this year I borrowed a much bigger compressor and I feel like it still took me just as long to get it done. Seems like unless you are renting a truck/trailer-mount compressor that can blow out the entire system in one pass all at once...you're gonna have to wait for it to recharge a bunch.
