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.

      What's wrong with Damien Lewis? He played pretty well last year.

      2025 Roster Cuts

      By Icege · Posted

      Official NFL Cuts Tracker Deadline for roster cuts is Tuesday, August 26th. At this moment (Friday, August 22nd) the only interesting names I see are... K Caden Davis (BUF) RB Ameer Abdullah (SF) WR Equanimeous St. Brown (SF) WR Donovan Peoples-Jones (NO) LB Khaleke Hudson (TEN) Abdullah, St. Brown, Peoples-Jones I don't exactly think we should cut anybody for but it was just interesting seeing those names. Khaleke Hudson was on the Panthers' practice squad last year I believe and might have even gotten called up? And of course, Caden Davis just because of the question mark at kicker this season for the team.

      I'll say 6/10. I don't know that we learned a whole lot about this team during preseason that we didn't already know. We didn't play the starters enough to really get a feel for what to expect. We had one good drive against the Browns, one 3-and-out and two 3-and-outs against the Texans. That's an extremely small sample size across 3 games regardless of performance. My camp/preseason takeaways: Jalen Coker might be the best WR on this team and is certainly no worse than #2. Nic Scourton is going to be a good player for us. Possibly very good. Bobby Brown was our best free agent addition. Jack Plummer isn't an NFL QB. Not even a practice squad guy. Having anyone other than Canales and Evero call plays was a really stupid and pointless idea. Our depth is largely non-existent, especially on defense. The three areas we actually DO have depth are on the OL, in the WR corp. and at RB. I can't fathom why Dan Morgan didn't do more to upgrade ILB during the offseason. We better hope Lathan Ransom steps up at FS because if he doesn't we have a massive hole. For all the hype surrounding Sanders/Evans, Tommy Tremble is still the best TE on the roster. I'm only slightly less enthusiastic going into the regular season than I was a month ago. I think our starters on offense are solid and we should be pretty good there unless Bryce totally regresses. On defense, we're probably bottom 3rd in the league if 100% healthy and significantly worse than that if injuries become an issue. We badly need at least two of our rookies to become high-level players early (ideally one of the pass rushers + Ransom) and at least 2 of our free agent additions (ideally Moehrig + Bobby Brown) to be significant upgrades over last year. Call me pessimistically optimistic 😆
