Su'a Cravens
 

I'm thinking we just drafted a safety.
This kid looks very exciting and quite versatile.

Re: Su'a Cravens
 

This is my favorite pick so far. Our defense has needed someone like this for so long. A Monte Colemen type of defender that can cover TE's.

Re: Su'a Cravens
 

This guy name just kept popping up leading to the draft as someone to watch...driving out of work yesterday Jay mohr was talking about him as the best lb in coverage and most underrated lb overall.

This guy will be a package type this year, but my guess is will lb for the future.

West coast correspondent sfredskins, I know your happy...you see him play a lot?

Hybrid. He's a LB and he's a Safety. His true position is Football Player.

Re: Su'a Cravens
 

Just watched Cravens' interview. Loved his closing lines:
"I'm very upset. I just found out I can't get into the facilities until May 13th. You are going to have keep locked down b/c I want to get in and work." or words to that effect.

Re: Su'a Cravens
 

We're going to love this kid.

Re: Su'a Cravens
 

yeah. I think so.

Re: Su'a Cravens
 

he's a baller, excited about him.

Re: Su'a Cravens
 

Su'a Cravens.

He's a prospect that was discussed early in some of the draft threads.
At the beginning of the draft process, aftering watching Su'a play actual football I would have pegged him as late 1st/ early 2nd round prospect.

Personally I think he made a mistake not transforming/making the decision to be a S and not a LB and to transform his body from a LB to S during the offseason. I think the extra weight he put on to play LB slows him down. Consequently he didn't run/test well at the combine.
But, when you watch this kid on tape...he balls.

I hope, we use him as true SS and not LB. As a SS I think he can really help the run game. Our S play, especially from SS was very poor in the run game. Goldson 'took' tackles more then he 'made' tackles. I know some will question his speed. I know I do.

But the tape says he can play and I hope he plays Strong Safety.

Re: Su'a Cravens
 

40 time and game speed are two different things. He plays fast and is smart. Love this pick

Re: Su'a Cravens
 

Yea, I'm thinking more and more the is our safety and "dime Linebacker".
Our tight end adversaries just forfeited a lot of catches.

Heard he's going to wear #36 in honor of Sean Taylor.

I saw that as well, I feel he will have the biggest impact of our rookies
