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.

      Watching games this year again and Bryce missed a wide open XL many times and some of them were in the endzone. I get the kid has mental lapses and hasn't broke out yet, but this is year three on a rookie deal! Cutting bait now is too early. If he hasn't gained anymore trust from his QB, posted any highlights, little production, or outright gets beat out then we can talk movement.

      Samesies   I truly may just cash completely out of Panther football if we give him a long term deal that isnt necessary.  I have watched NFL for 50 years now and I can without a shadow of a doubt say you cannot win consistently with BY.  Way too many limitations to deal with.   I may come back around in 3 years when the inevitable happens and all parties are either cut and/or fired.  Giving him a deal before this season so you hopefully can get him cheaper in case he "blows up" or if you truly believe that he will has to be the most moronic decision a gm can make when the evidence is laid before you with different players

      This is the one! I was at that game and all KB had to do was lay down on the corner after the pick or make an obvious tag while he was down. He had already ran a lazy route. Then if Cam would've just walked to the sideline like most elite QBs instead of trying to make the tackle.  A lot of people bring up the TJ Watt hit, but he just reaggravated a bunch of scar tissue from that play. And every Cam hater said that the running did him in and it was a dive tackle attempt on an interception that initially began the shoulder deterioration. He still went to New England later and would've got them in the playoffs had their A team not sat out the covid year. We quit on him too early. But hey how good was Teddy? Am I right?
