Wilson: Cravens under first-round consideration

Recommended Posts

Seems relevant given we've been linked to him a bit.

"Versatile USC outside linebacker-safety Su’a Cravens is under consideration as a potential first-round draft pick.

Cravens visited and worked out for the Atlanta Falcons. He also visited the New Orleans Saints, Carolina Panthers and Detroit Lions.

Cravens displayed his athleticism at his campus Pro Day workout, running the 40-yard dash in 4.54.

He excelled in linebacker and defensive back drills and caught the football well.

The New England Patriots, Falcons, Carolina Panthers, Buffalo Bills, Indianapolis Colts and San Diego Chargers have all displayed interest in Cravens."

kinda smelling like Shaq 

Yep.  Seemed like about a week or so out last year a lot of arrows started pointing toward Shaq being our guy after some whispers all along.  Might be happening again.  If we're gonna do it, I hope we view Cravens as a SS.

Joseph is getting alot of first round run now. Is another area of need.

Never seen us linked with him at all and he's been linked with a ton of teams. I don't know that he's in play for us but I do like him.

Gettleman likes guys with ideal to plus size for their respective position.  Not saying Joseph isn't a really good player, he just doesn't seem like a Gettleman guy.

Yeah I don't even know if he would take VH3 if he fell and was available at 30. I mean I think he would but I'm really not sure because he seems to value size so much that he may not even be on our board.

I'd MUUUUUUCH rather have Joseph, someone who has excelled at his prospective position, than Cravens.  I'd be ok with Cravens in the 2nd, but wouldn't be excited about the pick.

    • 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
