Newton or sweat?

Also if they feel Newton reminds them of Atkins, Geno stopped the run well also by beating the Oline on the snap... My biggest worry with Sweat is he sounds like he will be off the field a decent amount with his size and conditioning, not sure if i want to invest a #1 in that type of player

He played 503 snaps last year… conditioning will play a big part as will if he playing at 364 or 346? Regardless if you draft aNT in rd1 you believ they’re gonna be a vita vea impact

In the salary cap era, you simply can't be great at everything.  You're going to have to prioritize resources.  

If you draft a NT rd1- they have be a 3 down

I agree, I wouldn't take Sweat in the first round, either.  I saw the question as an either/or to which player was needed more, not as "who do you take at #18".

Would be fine with sweat in anything after 24-25
