Re: Su'a Cravens
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. |

Re: Su'a Cravens
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.

Wasn't his call- our coaches made him switch it up... They moved him around to cover up some holes defensively. He was balling out before 2014 as a safety and then stepped up when they moved him to strong side. His versatility had him positioned all over the field. |

Re: Su'a Cravens
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.

Re: Su'a Cravens
They wore 9 and 21 in college. Two pretty darn good Redskins wore those numbers.

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

Re: Su'a Cravens
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.

Re: Su'a Cravens
My reason for mentioning the combine performance was to explain why myself and some others think his timed speed isn't the issue it appears to be based on the numbers posted at the combine which are a reference point for many fans.
TLDR-Su'a is faster then his posted 40 time because he was carry about ~10lbs over his natural weight |

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

Re: Su'a Cravens
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. |

Re: Su'a Cravens
Just looking at that highlight tape, I swear this kid looks EXACTLY like Sean Taylor.
