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.

Based on quite a bit of history, so is the NFL. At the end of the day, a lot of the responsibility for development lies on the individual. You just can't save some folks from themselves.

I get that he would fill a need if he pans out.  But the thing is, we don't have to fill every single need this year.  And I don't think we should be trying to.

If this year's class is so weak at that position, that the best prospect we can get is a 4th or later guy with character issues.. meh.  Get somebody you feel better about at a different position of need, and worry about pairing a DT with Brown next year.

I hate when people make intelligent, well thought out statements that contradict my thought process. 

How bout you shut up.

I would have taken Sweat at 39.  The fact that he could be available at 65 is fantastic. If he slides all the way to 101 and we don't take him, shame on us. 

That exactly where I was at as well. Now I’m hesitant. But it is ok to start taking chances in the 4th and 5th round, so that’s where I would still consider him. Canales strikes me as someone who could be a good fit for Sweat, but that’s just a feeling I have, and I obviously don’t know that as a fact.

I would be comfortable with him in the 3rd round. i doubt hes there in the 4th honestly. guy was a bordeline 1st surefire second before the dui. I just see chances like this to get more bang for your buck. if he doesn't pan on think how many 2nd 3rd rounds we have thrown away( matt corral dj johnson so on) who have been even bigger wastes of talent. this guy could start day 1.

Haha.  In all seriousness it really depends on how the draft falls.  If its the 4th or 5th round, and he's the best prospect on the board... I don't have a problem with the team drafting him.

My main red flag with someone like this, is we're trying to build a culture from the ashes here.  Bringing in guys with character problems may not be the most productive way of doing that.  But I'm not a head coach or someone who knows how to build a team culture.

Agree with you here. It's critical that Canales harp on team culture and team building. 

I believe he will, hence why I'd be comfortable with the pick.

      Rookie season being key to uour argument. I didn't at all mislead about the talent Cam had to work with. Kalil was a great center. Olsen was a great TE. Our WRs were probably the worst in the league. Cam still won MVP, we went 15-1, and we went to the SB. Your attempt to bring up Cam to defend Bryce is desperate and clownish. Bryce has more talent to work with and has done WAY less.

      Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.
