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.

Im not as worried as you, for a few reason, we don't play a true NT since we play a 4 front so yes #1 would be that NT but Hill played the NT tech last year and with addition of Rankins a more #3 tech he will get more snaps there this year I don't think Sweat is that great of a player to trade that far up for, im sure the Bengals have a plan outside of just Sweat on their board and/or with what they have in reserve now.
