Versatility is what we need on this defense. Sweat is a athletic freak who can play as a DE, but also has the ability to play as a OLB in a 3-4 scheme. He has the frame and weight that allows him to be a versatile defender and we can move him all over the field. I think his potential is something special and he could develop into a star with the right coaching. Imagine Sweat learning under Peppers for a year and grasping his knowledge on how to rush the passer. Peppers also like Sweat has the freakish frame at 6'7 290.

 

Why not draft the next Julius Peppers of the franchise?

I'm a Mississippi State season ticket holder and he is a unique talent. He has the ability to add 20 pounds without losing his speed. He was first team All American in several listing and registered double digit sacks in both of his years there. And this is against SEC linemen who will play in the pros. If we would have lost yesterday, he would not be an option. At 16 he is.

Do you think he will be a star on the next level?

If he continues to work hard, he could be. Coach Baker taught Chris Jones at Kansas City and said Sweat and Simmons are going to be very good. Baker should know because he was a longtime NFL D Line coach.

He's a little light, but at #16 you aren't getting the 6'6 270 pounders with elite athleticism. I'll take ideal athleticism over ideal size all day everyday. A skinny guy might be able to to get bigger but a slow guy will never become explosive.

He's 245 and 6'6 with a frame to easily add weight.

 

Derek Barnett who everyone drooled over was only 7-10 pounds heavier coming out.

 

Sweat plays hands in the dirt amd holds well in the run game

Exactly!

This is a potential pick. His frame and athleticism is something you can't teach. Add 20 pounds of muscle and proper coaching this dude can be a problem on the next level. His ability to play OLB shows you he has crazy athletic type of ability for a DE. I want him learning under Peppers for a year.

To be honest, Mississippi State has 4 guys that will go in the first 3 rounds and all at a position of need.  Simmons is the next Chris Jones at DT, Sweat is an athletic freak at DE, Jenkins is one of the top 3 Centers in the draft and Abrams is a hammer at SS.  I want the best we can get in the draft but would be happy if we drafted any of these guys.

      I'm convinced Harden wants to do nothing but put up pretty shots and try to draw fouls and then do nothing on defense lol. Brunson went off though

      what does Bryce's 2026 season need to look like for you to be oaky with extending him?

      Baker was traded before he played his 5th year.  RGIII was cut before playing his 5th year. So it is rare but it happens.

      Time to hit 4000 yards and 30 TDs (including rushing). I don't care about INTs anymore. That's a big part of the problem. He plays uber conservative until the game is on the line. Playing not to lose, instead of playing to win. Time to let it friggin rip from the get. The team can win with a pick or 2 if he has 3-4 TDs. Stop playing scared.  But to be fair, his WRs have not been great. You all can bash about 1st round picks and O-line cap all you want.  Chuba as your #1 RB his entire career.  Adam Thielen as your best WR for 2 of 3 seasons is ridiculous. Then a rookie as your best in the 3rd season. Legette is not a 1st round talent. Probably closer to a 4th if you compare him to Brazzel this year. Coker has been a walking injury report. Nothing else to really speak of at WR or TE. Jimmy Horn has potential, but he is not an NFL starter yet. Oline has been better as run blockers than pass blockers. Ickey has always been so-so as a pass blocking LT. Center has been a revolving door for 3 years. Damien Lewis has been as marketed. Hunt is a great run blocker but an ok pass blocker - when healthy. Moton has been solid at RT. Biggest problem with the oline has been depth. When someone went down, their replacement became a glaring weakness. Overall a good but not great unit the last 2 years. 2023 was a ish show. Nothing else to say.  Not one game breaker, take it to the house offensive weapon since DJ Moore. Hopefully we get a little of that from Brazzell.  Either way, in his 4th season, it doesn't matter. You have to be able to overcome whatever comes your way. First 3 seasons with a young supporting cast is defendable. Can't use that anymore though. 3rd year in the offense. 3rd year with the same HC.
