The perfect LB/S hybrid or an undersized player stuck in no-man’s land? The curious case of Mr. Cravens.
The case before this week's draft court looks like it might end up in a hung jury. I'll use that opportunity to give you a bit of glimpse "behind the curtain" of what goes into an evaluation. Hopefully it will help give you a deeper insight into both the player and process.
Su'a Cravens is the embodiment of a perfect conundrum in both his physical makeup and his game tape. He is an excellent illustration of why drafting players is still as much an art as it is a science in today's NFL.
