Josh Sweat

[TylerDurden]

Make it happen, Hurney.

[chknwing]

Not happening. This is norvs pick. Its an OT.

We have Hall as our project

We are paying big bucks for a small DE in Addison

Can he gain the 20 lbs needed and still be quick?

[stirs]

Yeah, the Crosby kid might be our guy at 101

Then maybe this guy with our 2nd 5th rounder as our DE project

Well if he runs a 4.5 I suspect he could handle a few more pounds and still be faste enough.

20 lbs (minimum) isn’t just “a few more pounds”. 

It’s a LOT more pounds.

No please remember we have unused picks waiting to play we need that ot especially if Moton going to G we need a back up serviceable LT also to groom for when we send Matt on his way

Josh Sweat, FSU | 6’5, 251 | Athleticism: 95th percentile | Age: 21

 

Where He Wins: Insane athlete. Sweat can fire up the field in a hurry, instantly putting an offensive tackle in panic mode to get a deep drop set. If Sweat has space, he will win and disrupt the backfield. Held up in run defense well. Wasn’t addition 260 for a while. Sweat could be that by the start of the season.

250 lbs FSU “DE” eh? Having flashbacks of spinderella.  Wouldn’t instantly hate the pick, but I’d be optimistically cautious.

Nah, go look up film on him, or even the combine...  he's much bigger and much more stout even at 250.  Any additional weight he can put on would be awesome, but to me, his potential is through the roof.  Addison was never supposed to be what he is at the weight he plays, and yet it works.  If the guy can get to the QB and is a freak of an athlete as Sweat is, we can find a way to use him.

All that being said, Hurney isn't going to do it and I expect an offensive guy at 101.

You don’t get “space” lined up with your hand on the ground off of the OT.

You get “space” rushing from the edge as a 3-4 OLB.

An OT generally gets his hands on a 4-3 DE from the snap. That ain’t “space”, thats hand-to-hand warfare where size and strength are a must.

If the Panthers pass on Sweat he definately didnt pass the medicals.  He is clearly the best option otherwise.
