Overview
Craig played two years at linebacker for the Bearcats before moving to defensive end as a senior. At only 235 pounds, if Craig is to have a shot at the next level he'll need to do it while transitioning back to his original position. With physical tools that warrant further development, he is a late-round gamble worth taking.
Analysis
Positives: Long, lean build with room for considerable growth Good straight-line speed Natural pass rusher Nice burst off the snap and shows the flexibility and balance to dip his shoulder and get around the offensive tackle as a pass rusher Flashes some change of direction Showed at least adequate instincts when playing linebacker as an underclassman
Negatives: Raw prospect who lacks the sand in his pants to remain at defensive end and doesn't show a great deal of functional strength at linebacker Struggles to avoid the trash when playing in space due to inconsistent balance and change of direction Marginal use of hands to disengage from blocks Some character red-flags, including being benched against Pittsburgh this year for an unspecified violation of team rules.
