jetsons Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Redskins trade safety Su'a Cravens to Broncos Print By Kevin Patra Around the NFL writer Published: March 28, 2018 at 11:50 a.m. Updated: March 28, 2018 at 01:21 p.m. The Washington Redskins finally shipped safety Su'a Cravens to the Denver Broncos. The Redskins traded Cravens to the Broncos for a fifth-round pick, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported, per a source informed of the move. Clubs also swapped fourth- and fifth-round picks. ESPN first reported the deal. Pretty good deal for Denver.... as long as Cravens doesn't go "batty" again. NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported during the NFL Scouting Combine that Denver was in talks to acquire the 22-year-old safety. Weeks later a swap is completed. Cravens sat out the entire 2017 season on the reserve/left squad list after contemplating retirement amid concussion concerns. Cravens was reinstated in February. The 2016 second-round pick played well in his rookie season in a hybrid safety/linebacker role, compiling 34 tackles, one sack, five passes defended and an interception. The USC linebacker employs athleticism and versatility that are a commodity in today's NFL. Cravens' history of concussions put his future in murky territory. If he bounces back, Denver gains a talented, versatile player as Vance Joseph attempts to remake his defense in 2018. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetsfan80 Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Shows how valuable a LB/S hybrid is. 2nd round pick just 2 years ago. Moved today for a 5th round pick. Wonder what we could get for Darron Lee today? 4th rounder, maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thai Jet Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Actual trade was Cravens, 113th pick, 149Th pick to the Broncos for Washington's 109th pick, 142nd pick, 163rd pick plus a conditional 6th rounder in 2020. It's the equivalent of a late 4th rounder per PFT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
