Hell, my pops almost killed me the night I came home after graduating from HS. Drove home drunk and acting stupid and was heading to Annapolis in about 4 months.. One of the best things he ever did for me.
He was barely over the limit. He was not seriously impaired or much of a danger in my view. He wrecked because a drunker driver rear-ended him....and then fled the scene. Sweat couod have took off too, I believe, but he did not.
To me, it just is not that big a deal.
Now, was it terribly wise? No. But wisdom & character are not the same thing. He's 22.
Joe Mixon did far worse things & we drafted him round 2.
Now, I think there are flags about his dedication/weight management.
I am on record saying letting Reader go was stupidity personified. Especially in our division.
But I'd have been thrilled with Sweat at #49 three weeks ago and nothing in the last 3xweeksxhas changed my perception of him as a player.
Kiper has/had him top 50. Maybe I take a chance on him slipping to Rd3 if there is fantastic balue at CB/WR/IOL at #49. But I'd be ecstatic with Sweat.
