Burgold Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 I’m okay with the trade. To the Redskins, Su’a Cravens was about as useful as a ham sandwich on Ramadan. He may turn out great elsewhere, but he was oft injured and disinterested here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was even worse -- think about that ham sandwich on Passover (which is Friday night). At least on Ramadan you can eat at night and the bread is permissible. You can't eat bread at all on Passover, and the ham.... This is a very happy surprise trade. Now I gotta redo my First-Pick picks and figure out who to draft with that extra 5th rounder. Hmmm, maybe a QB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good job Brucie! Remains to be seen. I am happy with this trade as Cravens was done here anyways, so getting a 5th is great. But if he somehow manages to sorts his personal stuff out, the Broncos might have also gotten a good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why am I Mr. Pink? Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 So we basically got a 5th for him, and moved up a few spots in the 4th and 5th? Wish it worked out but it was a odd situation, which was all his creation (at least from what was reported). Normally I wish players the best, cant lie, Im kinda salty. He screwed us. Who ever missed the red flags and Scot screwed us. 2nd rounder gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wishing the best for Suzy. We all go through issues in life. That's completely fair and not untrue at all. Having said that, as fans of a football team we are allowed to want the guys who focus the most on their careers, aren't we? I put it this way...my career is a means to an end for me (making money to support myself and kids) so I understand the sentiment. But, that doesn't necessarily mean that I'd want the me version of a NFL player on the Redskins. I'd prefer the guy who can't get enough of his job.

I doubt he would have been welcomed back after quitting on the team so suddenly right before the season. He would have been persona non grata.

Bang Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 What a dip****.. that trade sucks, and i truly hope he goes to denver and decides to be a weed clipper in July. ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoCalMike Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 So what's the consensus on Cravens's mind at this time. That he had some issues, but when it comes down to it, he simply didn't want to be on this team? I suppose the trade looks good on paper, especially if Cravens turns out as a wash out on the Broncos too, but there is that voice in the back of our head probably asking how this looks if he ends up becoming a good player. The story will be how this organization's front office was bamboozled again. I don't mind the trade, but part of me thinks Cravens got what he wanted a little too easily.

COWBOY-KILLA- Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Happy he’s gone, he left his teammates High and dry. Glad we we able to get something of value in return.

Allen got the best of Elway. Net out what we actually got though...it's a lot of movement to net a 5th round pick and moving up about 10 spots TOTAL in the 4th and 5th rounds. In the end, if Denver thinks this guy can contribute even on special teams it's not a bad exchange for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audible_Red40 Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Meh a 5th (and moving up slightly) is better than nothing, was hoping to see a 4th in return. Quitting on his team sucked big time. Walterfootball.com has this grade: http://walterfootball.com/nfltrades.php Quote Broncos acquire LB/S Su'a Cravens, 2018 4th- and 5th-round picks from Redskins for 4th-round pick, two 5th-round picks This seems like a lot, but to simplify this trade, the Broncos are really just giving up is a fifth-round pick for Su'a Cravens. The swap of fourth-rounders is just Denver moving down from either No. 106 or 109 to 113, so that's not really a big deal. So, the question is if Cravens is worth a fifth-round pick. I'm not so sure. He didn't even play last year because he pseudo retired. He left the Redskins because of health and personal issues. Apparently, he's going to play in 2018, but he's obviously not a very reliable person to have on a team if he can just quit on a whim. That said, Cravens is a talented player - he was a second-round pick in 2016 - and so he could fill the need the Broncos have at linebacker if he dedicates himself to football again. It's just a matter if he wants to play or not. The Redskins definitely won this trade. They couldn't count on Cravens moving forward, so getting a fifth-round choice, plus the ability to move up a bit at the beginning of Day 3, is a nice deal for them.

MAATopDogg Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 I don’t like this trade at all. Why are we exchanging picks instead of acquiring on to what we already have??? Swapping picks in the 4th round??? I would have studfast just for a 4th rounder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
