Oh those Pesky Belusian Gopher Flies! Like any good intergalactic agent – I shoot a photon missile directly at a planet. I know its not the most creative way to destroy a planet…but I love watching the way the planet explodes.
Except mid air…out of nowhere a Gopher Fly grabs the missile and takes it away before it makes contact. Light years away I see an explosion in the direction the fly went.
That must be what a pick six feels like.
Then days later…I found out that one of the Alpha Alien’s favorite vacation moons has exploded after it was hit by MY MISSILE!
And who gets blamed for that!
I don’t even know what those pests are…are they a rodent or an insect…
kinda reminds of some of the prospects I can’t place
Su’a Cravens is a fascinating prospect. In his freshmen year Cravens played Safety for USC, then USC switched him to Linebacker.
At both positions he excelled at USC.
So which is he in the NFL?
Well, I’ve seen him called the next Troy Polamalu.
And I think he fits the mold of a safety.
But not everyone agrees. In fact I’m hearing a lot of NFL scouts are projecting him at Linebacker in the NFL. Which surprises me. But what do I know – I’m not even from your miserable planet.
Could it be that Cravens fits the mold of the new NFL pass covering linebacker? Seems like this sort of Linebacker is more and more what the NFL wants out of the position in a pass happy NFL.
Cravens may not be the best coverage linebacker in the draft this year, that honor probably goes to his instate rival Myles Jack. But Cravens is one of the best available this year and one of the best I can remember.
But that is not the only thing Cravens did at USC. Cravens had over 200 tackles in 3 years at USC. He forced 4 fumbles and had over 10 sacks in the last two years while playing linebacker. So this guy is pretty versatile and makes impact plays.
But how about those 9 career interceptions NFL scouts? Don’t tell me that is not a safety I see in the field!
Well, scouts counter that by mentioning Cravens’ lack of speed. In fact he is not expected to run a very fast 40 yard dash at the combine.
But then again, if Cravens runs a fast 40, I wonder if the Cravens at safety talk picks up?
I expect Cravens to be picked int he first two rounds of the NFL draft. There is even some talk he may go in the first round, but it’s too early to know.
What I do know is that Su’a Cravens reminds me of one of the pesky Belusian Gopher Flies. That son of a bitch will pick it off and take it back for a touchdown! That’s his alien weapon of destruction!
You can watch his highlights here to see what I mean

Nice article Piggy! In regards to Cravens I don’t like him as a LB at this level, but I do like him as a Reshad Jones type SS. I don’t think he has a spot on this Miami team unless VJ is going to go the route of 2 SSs vs one free and one strong….which I doubt.

Nice write up Wedge!
If you’ve watched or read GOT, you don’t want a player with craven in his name. lol
DBolt
I tend to think cravens should be a safety as well
But I think you and I are in the minority
Matt Miller recently tweeted that teams are looking at him as a LB
I guess he is in the Myles Jack mild of LB
I think he will be a good player at either position
CBS has him rated as a 2nd rd OLB prospect.
Wow and he’s a domestic abuser too. Bye bye Johnny!
http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/14742073/johnny-manziel-strike-ruptured-ex-girlfriend-eardrum-lawyer-says
He’s got serious issues, he needs help.
Yeah this has been going on for a few days now mr late to the party.
I didn’t see this part of his issues, Perez Hilton. LOL
I didn’t go to the party, I stayed home and watched the baby in my own home. lol
Saw this on a Fansided article on Cravens:
NFL Comparison: T.J. Ward, Broncos
You see a lot of T.J. Ward in Su’a Cravens and I love the way USC uses him. I think with Ward, the biggest comparison I see is an aggressiveness, using your size to your advantage. T.J. Ward is one of the best safeties in the NFL at playing at or near the line of scrimmage, and he’s also one of the best blitzing safeties in the league. Ward doesn’t classify as a linebacker but since coming to Denver, they have found a variety of ways in using him as such.
Cravens to me is a guy that can play a very similar role to Ward. He’s good, not elite in coverage, but when you put him in the box he’s a load to handle.
Reshad Jones is already that type of player. T. J. Ward is 5-10 200 and Cravens is 6-1 225 so I’m not sure he’ll be fast enough to play safety.
LOL at the controversy of Beyoncé’s halftime tribute😂
LOL. NFL can make it an annual tradition that a new hate group is represented through artistic celebration at every super bowl 😂 They can piss everyone off in the world eventually.
Piggy,
Myles Jack & Su’a Cravens in a Fins uni? INSTANT BONER
Who’s playing where?
Who cares!
LOL, I do👍 To me Cravens is a SS and Jack is an ELITE WLB. Cravens isn’t starting over Jones and I don’t see him as a FS. So that would be a second round pick that will be most relegated to STs and possible sub packages. If we got Jack in round 1 the next LB priority should be MLB. Just my take though😁
@TonyPauline: This weeks draft buzz: Keanu Neal/S/Florida getting late 1st rnd buzz. Noah Spence following Marcus Peters game plan https://t.co/IkAUpqagWT
We can probably find a LB in FA to play MLB on early downs and then when we go to nickel and dime which will be most of the time put your most athletic LBs on the field.
If D, I think, was correct & the Rans will release Laurinitis we should get really attack that option for MLB.
Definitely an option but why are the Rams releasing him?
I think cap related along w/ Chris Long.
Nice write-up Pig. Not sure if Cravens hits our needs though. We have Jenkins for the small OLB role and seems if we go safety we want more a coverage type given Reshad’s strengths.
But then what do I know…..we don’t even know what kind of d we will be running yet.
I agree with what you’re saying. Jenkins in only 6-0 but he’s about 245. Hewitt is also coming on as a WOLB type at 6-2 235. I’d still add Myles Jack if he’s there and move Hewitt to the strong side. Reports say that we’ll give Vigil plenty of opportunities at MLB in camp. I think both Vigil and Hewitt need to get a little bigger and stronger.
It’s funny how fans love to talk about UDFA prospects and then when we find good ones they discard their potential. LOL
Dbolt, Laurinitis is not going to play on the cheap.
He also won’t be on a huge contract neither. I’m good with it if they brought Sean Spence in to man the MLB slot as long as they take care of the other DT position.
DT? I think we’re fine at DT with Suh, Mitchell and Phillips.
I think Mitchell is going to get cut.
Tim i read an article that said that St Louis was going to have to clean up some contracts and they believed that Jared Cook for sure was a goner, they said that they believed Laurinaitis and Long were both targets and one of the two, if not both would be cut for reasons of cap space. Laurinaitis will be 30 next year, and he has slipped off in production a little, so yeah he wont be cheap but i dont see him getting more than about 7mil a year. There are some decent younger options at MLB to where i think that its even possible it would beless than that. We could cut Misi in that case as well which would half way pay for him this year and only cost us a slight bit more in years to come.
I do think Misi could be released. Sheppard coming off the books and Misi being released is worth almost $7M.
Dbolt, why would you cut Mitchell? He’s not a playmaker but he doesn’t get pushed around.
At his price tag he doesn’t keep bodies off the LBs well enough. Was it the system or is he just limited? The coaching staff will make the decision.
I don’t think he was the issue and he doesn’t make that much. He’s actually on the cheap end of his deal.
http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/miami-dolphins/earl-mitchell/
I think keeping Mitchell makes sense to me. Watching the Superbowl, rotation of the DL seemed key to me as far as continuing to get pressure from the fatties. Mitchell, Suh, Phillips, and Francis would rotated more routinely would keep our guys fresh and i think increase their productivity.
D, Francis is not on our team anymore. He’s with SEA.
Sorry meant Coleman, but we could easily plug a draftee there. Rotating those top three is anyways. Carolina had 3 studs they kept in their primary rotation with another guy who occasionally rotated in as needed.
Yeah I think that’s a strength of ours and Phillips is just scratching the surface. He might become a beast.

The order of the top-95 picks in the #NFLDraft are now official. LA #Rams are the only team with 4 picks in top-95:
—-
Damn Rams
Hence why they can afford to cut some bigger named guys.
Way i look at potential off season moves is +/- so when i look at Misi i see a guy who would be a very solid backup, but he isnt really helping us get better at the position. He’s too expensive to be a backup and not being a boost to us at the position makes him expendable. Looking at a guy like Laurinaitis you have a 7 year starter, 0 missed games, who has averaged 122 tackles a season, averages about 5 passes defended and tackles for loss a year. With the stability he has shown, Misi could be cut along with Sheppard, we could have some of our young guys back him up, and then we could draft an OLB and we instantly go from a weak LB corp to a very strong one. We eat the 7mil hit this year by subtracting two guys who arent productive to add one that has been for several years.
Dropping ILB off our list as well lets us really focus the upper half of our draft on secondary and pass rush.
Sheppard is a UFA so he comes off the books on March 10th.
SteveCCNV or anyone else….
I need more info on NEVADA LB Ian Seau ….
Looks like a good mid to late round selection
I’m eager to see what his 10 yard split and vertical jump scores are for his height/weight combo.
Looking at some highlights, he really can fire off the line fast.
D,
Yep, the draft tends to favor LB/DL in the top 100 too so the Rams who have invested heavily on offense the last few years can go D early.
With their draft position they could trade back too and get some more picks and really load up. DL draft this year is SICK, very very deep. Just by numbrs there are going to be some other years first round talent pushed into the late second maybe even third just cause there are so many good ones.
Not to mention they are already VERY deep at DL. I think that makes Long the first one they consider cutting, but they may well cut both of them.

—————————————
They probably have us trading up to 3rd to get him too….hmmmm lol
Also Neal is a guy i really like. Marcus Maye was the more ballhawk safety at UF, but Neal was no slouch and he is one of the hardest hitting safeties and best overall tackler i have seen. He’s way better than Kearse as a safety prospect, though Kearse has a few inches in height over him.
Glad to see that it looks like they kept Anthony Steen on a futures contract. He was a great OG at Alabama. Worst case i think it gives the new coaches someone to look at in camp to see if we at least have backup potential out of him. Vinson Painter too.
Steen looks like a prototype guard.
Okay, what would you do to this guy?
https://www.yahoo.com/news/michigan-man-convicted-stomping-girl-222953604.html
Id have the guy with the biggest hands at the prison anal fist him before letting the rest of the prisoners stomp him until his head was paper flat.
Agreed.
Alex McCallister is someone i keep tossing around as a possible later round pass rush prospect for us. He is a guy i know has really great pass rushing skills but im worried about him keeping his shit together. He racked up 6.5 sacks despite only playing fully in 7 games last season. Similar statistics from his sophomore year previous when he was rotational player where he got 6 sacks in part time play.
He has really good pass rush skills, comes from a team that turns out some good pass rushers, but he did get kicked off the team last year and got suspended earlier in that same year. As far as talent goes, i feel certain he would be a relatively cheap option to get a quality pass rusher, but overall im note sure about him as a professional.
ESPN Giants reporter Dan Graziano believes the team will “part ways” with veteran LT Will Beatty.
Beatty is owed a $6.625 million base salary and is set to count $9.175 million against the cap. Both numbers would be fine for a left tackle, but it appears the Giants will move forward with 2015 first-rounder Ereck Flowers on the left side. That likely means Beatty will have to accept both a pay cut and a demotion to right tackle if he wants to stay in New York. It is unlikely he wants to do either.

why should he get away so easy. the anal raping should be done over a 6month period and performed each time with a thicker rusted pipe. he should be kept alive and made to suffer daily till he dies. no need to stomp him out in one day, that is too easy for him.

_________________________________
The only controversy about Beyonce’s half time performance is how much cellulite is on her ass and legs.
Not sure I see Cravens as a fit for us. I think we need 2 players. A LB and a S. We don’t need one who plays both.
Yeah im not a fan either. I think he is one of those tweener types that will not be particularly good at either. Some tweeners are so good they could practically line up anywhere and be a + to your team, but i just dont see him as that type of player. Jack is the latter kind, i think he a talent and it really wouldnt matter what position you wanted him to play he would find a way to play that position at a high level.
Jack is a completely different story. I would be all in for him.
Cam’s statement is defensive, i would have stuck with “i handled the loss poorly, it was an emotional time for me, but i accept i need to handle myself more professionally and in the future i plan on acting accordingly”. He just drew more negative attention to himself not owning it and moving forward.
You surprised?
I get it though. I am a big Yankee fan and one of my favorite players was Paul O’Neil. He broked more bats and water coolers after each out he made but the guy hated losing with every fiber of his body.
Note to Cam
Just look in the mirror buddy! Luh-HOOOOOOOOOSER!
That statement is an utter crock of shit from him. It doesn’t matter whether you take the loss well, you congratulate your opponent, and sportsmanship ALWAYS counts!
He did congratulate Manning after the game. He just didn’t want to answer questions from the press. To me this a whole lot to do about nothing.
That’s fine. I think he’s showing exactly what he is, a spoiled sport, and the fact that he can’t understand and distorts the concept of good sportsmanship is not surprising.
He doesn’t get it. There are lots of athletes like him.
A lot of LBs move around and play multiple spots
Ken
You can get it, but it’s not for this 26 YO nitwit to judge people who have good sportsmanship as losers. He’s an immature ass, with no clout to make the statement he made.

mike
that was what i said earlier. being a good sport doesnt mean you are accepting losing. it also means you know how to win with grace. two things he doesnt get.
Rob
Exactly
I really don’t care if Cam talked to the media after the game or not. I really don’t care if he dances or gives the ball to kids after he scores. I don’t care much about any of that stuff. I like watching him play. He combines rare athletic talent and is something to watch. He plays hard. Yes everyone can bitch about whether or not he dove for the fumble but make no mistake he plays the game hard and maybe he is self centered. That’s hardly uncommon for a professional athlete. Don’t tell me Manning isn’t . How many plugs did he make both pre and post game – Gatorade, Budweiser. He is out there promoting himself and his product. All Cam did was get upset about losing. Could he have handled it better? Of course. Is it worth this level of discussion? Not even remotely.
Cam supporters don’t seem to see why a lot of people don’t like his act when it’s all going well as opposed to when he loses. It’s okay to be pissed off and even throw a tantrum when you lose. But when you win and act like you’re the best thing that’s ever been and point at yourself and do the me stuff, then when you lose you pout. you look like a spoiled brat and nobody likes a brat.
Also his comments about a good loser is a loser insulted his HC and some of his teammates because they were gracious losers. He doesn’t get it! He’s a baby.
I doubt his HC and team mates felt insulted.
Probably not but my point was how he doesn’t get it.
LOL @ Ken – Did you enjoy watching him play in the SB? He looked like a shell of himself. Did it look like he enjoyed the game? I think he loves WINNING, not playing the game.
Besides, it’s not like we have more pressing issues to discuss, the game was just 2 days ago.
He did not play well at all and yes discussing the game is fine but to me whether or not he answered questions after the game is a non-issue. You have no argument from me that Cam played poorly and that there is a certain irony in the Cam love, his performance and the criticism thrown at Tannehill but whether or not he should have answered questions or if he was gracious in defeat – ho hum imo.
Ken, for the love of God, will you please stop talking about Cam. 😉
Only if you stop talking about Tannehill. LOL.
LOL, I only talk about Tanny. Well, we both do. 😀
Ode to Mac Notwen
Oh boy!
Can you say sanctions?
Naw, he’s not drunk. he has a concussion.
That’s a great excuse. I know a lot of people that can use that one.
Officer I wasn’t driving drunk I just have a concussion.
Speaking of assholes and sanctions how about McCoy? The man loves his champagne.
Are you surprised he wasn’t partying in Buffalo? LOL
Buffalo is known for it’s appreciation of high quality champagne.
ken,
everything you said about cam is true. he is athletic and something to watch. that also goes for 99% of every player in the nfl. so what. they all are way more athletic and talented that is why they are in the NFL. the reason cam is being talked about now isnt cause of his athletic ability it is his character. and that isnt all he did, he show boated when he won, he went above and beyond with his exploits. now when he loses he acts a child and is horrible about it. people like that usually are not good people.
Of all the athletic people he is in the top 1%. He can do things on a football field that few people who play and or have played ever could. Is he a good person? FIN (Fucked if I kNow). I still like watching him play.
ken
i dont see him as that all world great player you do. he is no more gifted then some of the other players. i will say i love him showing what an ass clown he is concerning his sportsmanship. it makes for fun banter. it would be boring if every qb was a manning.
His combination of size, strength, speed, arm strength and elusiveness has probably never been matched in the history of the game. That doesn’t mean he is going to the HOF but he is a rare talent and when he is on he is fun to watch.
Cam is bigger but Donovan McNabb did a lot of the same things and he was a better passer.
Tim:
McNabb is a good comparison but at similar stages of their career Cam is a better passer, I actually think by a significant amount. It took McNabb a while to develop as a passer. Cam was a 4K passer as a rookie.
I don’t think Cam has reached McNabb’s level as a passer yet. I don’t care about yards, I’m talking about executing an overall passing attack. Also the game is different today than it was in the early 2000s.
Under a set of rules that dont let ya touch the receiver and every other hit on the QB is a penalty.
Cam is more like a healthy Dante Culpepper.
Faster and more elusive but not a bad comparison.
I’m sorry but he’s not a T-1000. You’re getting hyperbolic.
ken
once again, i am not disagreeing about cam’s talent. i am just saying there are just as many player in the nfl that are fun to watch who are not poor sports. yeah cam maybe more athletic, but to me that is not a big deal. the dolphins had this qb one time who wasnt all that athletic but he was fun to watch and set all sorts of nfl records without being mr athlete.
chad henne?
Tim i am a little surprised by his comments, because i really expected him to just let it go and not bother responding, also you would think with as much money as they pay these agents there would have been a very polished and rehearsed reply given the amount of elapsed time to come up with one. So in a way yeah im surprised because the comment was not an “in the moment” response.
Damn just saying Chad Henne apparently breaks the blog lol….someone say something so i can know i didnt start the apocalypse

Randall Cunningham isn’t a bad comparison either, he was big in his time, when O-linemen were probably only 50 lbs heavier than him.
Randall Cunningham is the one i think he most is like, size wise he is bigger but that loose pocket style play is kinda more like him, the throwing off his back foot thing is alot like him.
Except Randall wasn’t a big baby like Cam. lol
He was also more athletic than Cam in his younger days. This idea that there hasn’t been anyone like Cam is not true. John Elway did a lot of what Cam does.
Steve Young
D, Young wasn’t real big but yes the same threat was there.
D
I didn’t mention Steve Young because of the size factor.
Yeah i thought we got off subject on size and were just talking who played like Cam. There have been a bunch of guys historically that have played like him despite the size.
Otherwise, you’re correct. Young was a very talented runner, he was pretty damn impressive. Much more elusive than Cam
Steve young GOAT
That draft i did above is kinda growing on me, i took two OG’s and at first i kinda didnt like doing that but i also felt i got value with the picks so i did it anyways.
Why all the black comparisons. Bunch of racists here! smh
I mentioned John Elway but didn’t mention young because he was short so there. LOL
Give me another white QB that is comparable?
Steve Young was a way more accurate passer though. One of the more accurate passers we’ve ever seen.
Ok ok, you guys redeemed yourselves with Elway, Young, and I’ll now add Tannehill…coming to a playoff highlight reel near you soon. 😀
Yeah he has to get into the playoffs first.
I’m surprised you geezers didn’t mention tarkenton
I actually almost did but i dont really know anything about him other than what i have seen in what they refer to as “talkies”
Too small. He ran around in circles, he didn’t run through anyone. Roger Staubach fits the bill though.
Tannehill isn’t bad comparison actually. Jennings did say he’s been babied. lol

I will say i doubt very seriously that Tannehill would have acted like that….but then again according to Cam thats cause he’s a loser lol….see Randy was right!
SB
Cam reminds me a lot of Trogg, he was big and fast (for a caveman), but he was much more mature than Cam. He audibled a lot more than Cam does too
LOL @ Hunter Henry as our 2nd round draft pick.
Mike E, now can’t stand up at work and walk across the office to help a customer.
You’re not one of the geezers D lol
I’m with Ken on the whole Cam thing.
In time, nobody will remember those comments Cam made after the SB.
Just like nobody remembers when Elway and Eli Manning both cried about where they were going to be drafted and refused to go play for them.
GDP
There’s driftwood, and then there’s (Hunter Henry in the 2nd) draftwood. lol
Tim,
McNoob? lmfao…Cam WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY more accurate than McNoob ever was at any point of his career. Also a better runner.
McNabb is just as accurate as Cam – Not true McNabb finished with a career 59% completion, Cam is now at 59.5%
McNabb accuracy by season:
49.1%
58.0%
57.8%
58.4%
57.5%
64.0%
59.1%

Cam Newton has hit the 60%+ mark twice in 5 years; took McNabb 6 years to even hit it once. Cam also has never averaged less than 7 yards per attempt in his career while it took McNabb 6 years to even get passed 7 for a season. McNoob’s career Y/A is 6.9 while Cam’s at 7.5.
On Y/C, Cam has achieved 13+ three out of five years of his career (12.7 average) while McNoob achieved 13+ only twice in his entire career (years 8 and 11) for a 11.8 career average.

More yards on an even completion % = more accurate passer 🙂
I think McNabb ran a more efficient passing game. Cam also plays in more of the NFL light era which means a lot. McNabb played in an era when it was still big boy football.
I get the impression that people think Cam is better than he really is.
Ya think? LOL
BTW – People who talk about Cam leading his team to the playoffs 3 years, last year the Panthers were 5-8-1 and were in the playoffs. Wow
5-8-1?
Ah shit, that was his record as a QB, not the team.
The other QB was 2-0. 🙂
The great Derek Anderson!
With respect to Cam, in my opinion: He acted immaturely when he won, and immaturely when he lost…actually pretty consistent when you think about it. LOL
LOL
*yawn*
Too much time spent on this subject.
Fins better fix their D this offseason. That’s the only way to the playoffs at this point (offense won’t be able to carry it)
Al – Different era of football (McNabb vs Cam), defenders can’t even look at the DB or the QB for that matter.
That’s been my point all along.
Al, I’m well aware of McNabb’s stats, he was my FFL QB back in the day. Stats don’t tell the entire story. But agree to disagree. I’ve never been that impressed with Cam as a passer and that was before the Super Bowl. To me his size and running ability is what makes him special.
That’s a matter of opinion…PI rules been the same for a long time.
The game has changed drastically in the last 5 years.
Bookman – True dat!
Michael Griffin S Tenn cut today as well as Seantavius Jones WR Saints. Saints are doing a major roster purge already. I read somewhere that they have 22 million in dead money this coming year.
Griffin is a former 1st round pick who has solid stats from last year. 101 tackles, 1 pick 5 PD’s and 1 sack.
Just turned 30.
Ryan Lindley QB Colts also cut.
D,
Have you taken a look at these LB prospects?
Ian Seau (NEVADA)

Antwione Williams (GEORGIA SOUTHERN)

I’m impressed by Seau’s burst off the line and Antwione’s ability to chase the ball handler.
Just started looking at Seau and havent checked out Williams yet. Hard to find stuff on some of the smaller school guys so ya gotta dig really deep. Ill take a look at him this evening.
Toughest thing for me with the small school guys is finding that common ground so oyu get a good representation of skill level, like finding them going against an offensive player you have scouted and know their level or finding a common opponent to a another player of the same position that your scouting to compare them against. Almost like playing 7 degrees of Kevin Bacon with players comparisons, tracing everything back to comparisons to some baseline guy you really like.

Does Griffin play SS or FS? I remember him, but I’m not sure.
I think FS, though his stats surely make you think he’s a SS lol. Usually a true FS doesn’t have that many tackles. Could be Tenn plays a sort of hybrid safety combo like we did where both safeties are kinda interchangeable.
Gotcha – Thanks!

@nashmax73: Well meow, that’s interesting… https://t.co/TUFDMggv4A
I would love to see it just for the reactions. LOL
Nice effort, PIGGY!! –Always enjoy these articles.
I think we are running your piece either tomorrow or Thursday
Stay tuned
Al are you thinking about Seau as a OLB or a DE?
Looks like someone else already on the same thought train as me. He’s easily better than anyone we have, just a question of how expensive he would be. Current contract is 7mil per, but no way he gets that much now, same with Weddle, id expect either of them to be inking something in the neighborhood of 5-5.5mil per contracts.

I need to go back and see but I do think he (Griffin) is a quality option for Miami if they can’t snag Weddle

Not sure I see Cravens as a fit for us. I think we need 2 players. A LB and a S. We don’t need one who plays both.

Yeah im not a fan either. I think he is one of those tweener types that will not be particularly good at either. Some tweeners are so good they could practically line up anywhere and be a + to your team, but i just dont see him as that type of player. Jack is the latter kind, i think he a talent and it really wouldnt matter what position you wanted him to play he would find a way to play that position at a high level.

I actually think cravens is one of the better fits for us that I featured this offseason
He can do the same sort of things for us Jack would do
I think a lot of teams will want a player like Cravens
The league is kinda becoming a haven for players like cravens
Lbs are being asked to cover so much
So what you’re saying is the league is kinda craving for players like cravens?
Piggy,
Myles Jack & Su’a Cravens in a Fins uni? INSTANT BONER

LOL, I do👍 To me Cravens is a SS and Jack is an ELITE WLB. Cravens isn’t starting over Jones and I don’t see him as a FS. So that would be a second round pick that will be most relegated to STs and possible sub packages. If we got Jack in round 1 the next LB priority should be MLB. Just my take though😁
**
I agree
That would be a nice combo
I’ve done a couple mocks with those 2 as our first 2 picks
I think if we did that cravens would be a safety like DBolt said
But I don’t think the districts in between free safety and strong safety matters

LOL. A bunch of Bed sheets walk out to mid field and one removes their cloth to reveal Brittney Spears who starts singing Oops I Did It Again
I don’t think she’d be lauded like Beyoncé was, but I’d piss my pants😂

Yeah thats what i am feeling too. He looks like a really good speed rusher, id like to see him put on 10 or so lbs but he seems to have a really high motor, he has some killer speed moves like his swim and spin are pretty to watch. Im going to dig up even more footage on him and continue to dig, but he looks like a good later round guy. I had been seeing him as options later in my mock drafts and had looked at a few films on him but had dug in too deeply. Thanks for bringing him up.
