Su'a Cravens

Recommended Posts

The guy who was rumored this week we had Freak interest in.  

 

This is one guy id love to make a move to get in the 2nd (other guy is Sterling Shepard)

Cravens is a natural fit for SS. The best hybrid lb/safety in coverage to come out in awhile (yes even better than TD and Shaq)  thus the reason I think he can make the transition to safety betterm to SS.  Reminds me in a sense of Luke.  Not the super fast 4.3 guy but smart guy who can read defenses like a book and takes good angles.  Doesn't go for the bone crushing hits but wraps up and goes for the tackle.  Has good hands and concentration which will be good for  SS.  At SS he will be a in the box type guy covering TE's and such which he has more than enough Athletic ability to do so.

Looks like he has stickum on his gloves, once he got his hands on someone they didn't get away.  Gonna have to do some breakdowns research, but going off that highlight video I'd be all about moving up in the 2nd for him.  Not quite ready to use a 1st on him, the whole hybrid/position switch thing makes it a bit risky, but he is a damn sure tackler.

The more I watch breakdowns on him the more I really like him. He is super athletic, and really seems like he would be a great fit for our defense. I'm not sold on him being a first round but if the panthers give him a first round grade then they will draft him. Last two years we have gotten guys in the second round that we had first round grades on (kony,and funch), so I wouldn't be surprised to see it again this year.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
