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.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
