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.

      Thomas Fletcher Didn’t Make It, But These Four Did

      Seriously? A CB who missed all that time on his rookie deal and was also a top 10 pick when the guys picked right before and after have been studs. A RB our GMs tried to replace with FAs and 2nd rounders and two backup level players is one of the best drafts we’ve ever had? I’d argue that the 2011/2012 drafts were better even with just Cam and Luke/Norman. Here’s the drafts I think were better: 2017, maybe 2018, 2015, 2013, 2011, 2012, 2008, 2007, 2001, 2002 (just Pepp) I’m hoping 2025 is way better as well. Honestly, we’ve kind of sucked at drafting overall and that’s the only reason you can even remotely call Horn, Hubbard, Tremble and BC a good draft let alone one of our best ever. Good teams that draft well would laugh at that as a great draft. If you want to look at say the 2023 Lions draft, you’d get 4 stud/above average/average starters not just 3 replaceable starters/backups and a top 10 pick that missed half his games. That’s a draft that helps turn a team into a playoff team. Our record since our 2021 draft is 19-49. A best ever draft doesn’t go 19-49.

      Potential changes to playoff seeding

      I remember when football was great.    Wasn't this century.

      Bingo. You can't pay that type of player elite franchise QB money. That average starter type player can excel when he's surrounded by top shelf talent in a great offensive system but pay him elite QB money and you're going to really struggle to surround him with the type of talent you need to carry him. You pay those elite franchise QBs because they can carry your roster. You can't pay guys who have to be carried. Bryce showed glimpses down the stretch last year. I really hope he keeps building on that. But before we back up the Brinks truck he needs to show that he's the type of QB who can lift up and carry the offense because when you pay those guys that's what they're gonna have to do.
