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.
