"Sweating " bullets

[Stewy]

The reality is he's tough to get a true ranking on because so much of his value is dependent on how well he can assuage teams about his work ethic issues in private interviews, which isn't public info.  He could go way earlier than expected due to the weak NT class if he can, or he could be one of those annual free fallers that everyone screams we draft as round after round picks past with him still on the board if he can't.

I'm firmly against a trade up, though.  Reader averages 58-60% of the defensive snaps in the games he dressed for the past three years.  Sweat simply won't see the field enough to justify two premium picks being spent to acquire him, especially since given his work ethic and conditioning issues, he may not even be on the field that much.  

As for options, Tupou is still a FA, but I don't know he would be considered as anything more than a rotational piece.  Folks won't like it, but a name I'll throw out there is N'damakahn Suh, who's a free agent.

These have always been the knocks on Sweat even in college.  Conditioning and focus.  Yet on the field, he performs and performs big.  

Below is not specifically in response to Whatever:
Also I don't see ANY reports of him at 400lbs.  His latest weight is from the combine at 366. which apparently lead to his 5.27 40 yards dash being impressive.  Also, all reports from his pro day is that he impressed in position and agility drills.  Again, everything I've read since the combine have been positive and he's still considered a late 1st early 2nd round pick.
