I keep seeing Sweat being ranked in the 25 to 40 range which puts him out of reach at pick #49. I hope they can swing a trade to get us in that range to grab him....after him its really one other guy : Jackson who is hard to tell about where he may get picked (rounds 3 to 5?) . What happens if they whiff completely in draft? Any potential trade targets or late cuts out there?
I have a bad feeling that one of the AFC N rivals will draft Sweat or Jackson.
- Sweat tested horrifically at the combine coming in nearly 40lbs over playing weight & tripping over himself & falling during agility drills.
His draft stock has fallen quite a bit. Obviously I don't know how NFL teams view him, but the guy is red flag city from a work ethic standpoint. Knock on him is slow get off at the snap. If the Bengals took him I'm not going to be sad or anything. The Bengals do very very good homework on character & work ethic.
- Jackson, on the other hand, is a 2 year captain at TX A&M, super high character, has production, and literally DJ Reader's dimensions. I think he's such a great fit for the Bengals that I would go rd 2 on him if no one falls that wows them. He COULD be there when the Bengals pick at either spots in rd 3.
