Our drafting has sucked lately

As I don't watch the practices themselves, I go off what news clips I find on them. I did look at a couple and saw positive marks, but I did not try to scour for more after.

With that said, I don't think Sweat (or any player really) has to win every rep to be considered worth taking.
He's showing power and anchor, which is what he showed in college.
He's likely gotten too big, and may be more effective getting back down to 360, maybe even 340-350 range.
Let's see if/how he trims down by the time the Combine comes around (assuming he weighs in there).

EDIT:
Question for you Synric - In the reps Sweat did not win, did he get pushed off the LOS? Asking because if he's always at least staying put, that's still good given our DL has been getting blown back pretty regularly, allowing for RBs to pick up more yards than they would if the DL was at least sticking at the LOS.

The 1 on 1 pass rush drills you won't often see a OL jump set to try to displace or stall the DL by moving forward. In team drills Sweat looked better the second day getting into gaps but he was a little overshadowed by Braden Fiske next who him who lived in the back field lol.


This is a good drill to see for NTs but one fans don't get to see much. Tyler Guyton and Christian Hayes vs McKinnley Jackson. That's a 6'1 330+lb McKinnley Jackson he barely looks half the size of Sweat lol.

This was probably my favorite rep of the day, live. Two OL I’ve been a fan of for a while absolutely obliterating the defender. pic.twitter.com/HAUDhOFJVu
