Would you grab falling star t'vondre sweat?


Recommended Posts

Space eater isn't our biggest need. But I see a value to good to pass up after his boneheaded DUI during the draft process. I assume this moves him completely out of the second round maybe pushed into the 4th. I would be hard pressed to not pull the trigger in the 3rd round somewhere.  At 6'4 366 I would love to insert him day one and just really be done with Shy tuttle who is just a jag. This guy would be an upgrade and one small mistake of partying to hard doesn't indicate a everyday problem. This kid can't be blocked 1 on 1 and just allowed texas to stop the run of his strength. he bats down a ton of passes and i would consider him a value getting a almost first round talent that late in the draft. what say you?

He would be a great pick up and probably higher on morgans board than anyone's guess. Robinson - Sweat - Brown on the interior D-line and Lewis - Frazier/JPJ - Hunt on the interior O makes for a fearsome foundational force on both sides of the line.

Anyone can make a mistake and there's no better story than a redemption one. Still you've got to really look into who this kid is and what kind of man he'll be once he has a ton of money piled in front of him.

Character really does matter, especially in this day. If the DUI was a one time situation, then snag him as he falls. If there's even a hint that the DUI just happened to be the first time he was caught, then let him go and be someone else's headache.

From the numerous draft profiles I have read since the DUI, said DUI was not surprising to scouts in the least.

3rd round would be worth a gamble depending on the board. We have to nail the 1st 2 picks though, which I have no confidence in us doing. 

Third (65) is too high for him, imo.  Maybe 101.  However, while some are saying "he needs a second chance" and I believe that because I did as well, sometimes you give a kid like that $2m per year and you know what he does with it.  I would need to know where his head is right now, and the recent DWI is not a good sign.  Is he a "dawg?"  I would not think so.

Changing my tune--I would probably take him off my board.  MAYBE if we were a good team and there were strong, established leaders, but the leadership on the panthers (Thompson, Brown, Moton, in my view) is not vocal.  He needs a Ray Lewis to put the fear in him.

When young people are struggling with commitment and maturity, throwing a LOT of money at them is rarely going to help with the situation.

Eh....that can happen but also bring in a professional situation can help.

College football is a pretty bad about developing players in terms of football or maturing them as adults.
