TLDR-Su'a is faster then his posted 40 time because he was carry about ~10lbs over his natural weight

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

Alvin Walton · 05-01-2016, 03:31 PM

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

Su’a Cravens listed as a safety | ProFootballTalk

Looks like he will be a safety

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

30gut · 05-01-2016, 07:42 PM

I would like to see him around his freshmen year weight ~215.

Su'a may not be interchangeable between SS and FS but as a true SS I love the fit.
Afterall how many snaps does Cam or Deone play at FS?
Plug Su'a into the box and let him wreck shop...as on old school moveable chess piece SS.
Run D, Pass coverage, Blitz.

I'm trying not to get too hype, and I hope he is granted the room to make the unavoidable mistakes rookie S make.

I like the pick even more because we were still able to get Fuller in the 3rd round, who I wanted in the 2nd. Adding Norman, Cravens, Fuller, and Ioannidis (I've read on quite a few sites how underrated he is, got a lot of credit for getting him) to our defense, we are greatly improved. Daniels is an awesome run stuffer, which we need, but he probably won't be in our nickel or dime packages, so he won't play much. Hopefully he contributes on special teams.

metalskins · 05-02-2016, 09:17 AM

By far, the best pickup in the draft! This kid reminds me a lot of Sean Taylor. Love his attitude of wanting to get in and start working.

They wore 9 and 21 in college. Two pretty darn good Redskins wore those numbers.

TheMalcolmConnection · 05-02-2016, 11:31 AM

I'm impressed by a lot of those highlights, but what impresses me the most is his blitzing ability. Holy shit.

skinsy · 05-02-2016, 06:17 PM

The only reason this dude fell is because he doesn't have the "ideal" speed for a safety, or the "ideal" size for linebacker. Disruptive ballers like this get brand new positions made up for them if your D coordinator has balls. Nice pick, sure money this guy is a fan favorite.

Cravens likes Seinfeld, that's awesome. He's my new favorite player lol. Love that show. Watching it right now.

30gut · 05-15-2016, 10:06 AM

Cravens working at LB first in rookie camp.

I hope they make a decision early on in the process to start him and leave him at SS.

skinsfan69 · 05-15-2016, 11:02 AM

Just looking at that highlight tape, I swear this kid looks EXACTLY like Sean Taylor.
