It only took 5-6 years.

And Addison is the very uncommon exception to the general rule. 

It’s the 4th round nothing is certain. Sweat is bigger,faster,longer and a better college player with more potential. Also played at the highest level of competition as a 5 star recruit.

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.

Fair enough. I haven’t watched anything on him. Just looked at measurableables and don’t like what I see for our scheme. I’ll watch some videos and do my research if we take him.

Sweat also has 2 inches of height on Addison, so theoretically he has that much more room to put on weight if need be.  JMO, but we still have a need for pass rush/DL depth and you can't pass up his combo of potential and athleticism at this point in the draft.

Hell, at the very least we could use him as a gunner to start with like we did Hardy before he became a more refined DL.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
