They're going to argue less they're going to argue less than 4%? Pretty sure that he likely fluctuates that much over a 24 hr period of time. He's not auditioning for the cover of Woman's Day, he's auditioning to overpower other large men in the NFL.
The argument over Sweat being too fat reminds me of the same argument about Warren Sapp. IIRC, Sapp turned in a pretty decent pro career.
These are estimates from scouts who literally study these guys for a living. They eat, sleep, breathe this stuff. And c'mon, put one and one together, why wouldn't he weigh in at the Senior Bowl if he wasn't overweight? If his weight was where it should have been, he would have done so no problem.
Sapp dropped because he flunked his combine drug test and then it came out he failed multiple drug tests at Miami. Certainly, you can find guys with weight/work ethic issues in college that turned into good pros, just like you can find guys that failed drug tests that panned out, just like you can find criminals that panned out, or guys that tested terrible. However, 99% of those guys don't pan out, which is why it's a flag and why we can't just look past it because it's convenient.
