Panthers sniffing around Josh Sweat. Late first day 2 pick

[Mr. Scot]

I'm just wondering if he's related to Keith.

[JayNasty]

Do not want.  He was non factor at FSU, used to hear it all the time from the fans when I was in Tally the past few years

Underwear Olympics are great, but look at hIs tape... not impressed

[joeyxfresco]

Yea, but how good is his spin move?

If we re- sign Pep we can hold off drafting DE unless one pops up that is too good to pass up...

So, sell me on Sweat as a 4-3 DE. I watch quite a bit of ACC football and honestly I didn't even know his name until recently.

I can’t say he’s a sure fire hit. It’s actually a big risk considering where we would have to take him to Ben select him. I am a big fan of drafting guys who graded out 5 star recruits out of highschool. That lets me know they have the athletic tools to get the job done. Take the bengals Carl Lawson. He didn’t have the college career everyone thought he wouldn’t as a top tier 5 Star guy.

But as a rookie he crushed it. He wasn’t talked about much during the draft process but he had the athletic traits to success. I say if your gonna miss. Miss on a guy with that athletic pedigree. Light a fire under him and you might have some special. He doesn’t have to be a 4-3 defensive end right now. He can come in on pass rushing downs and be a specialist until he’s ready like Addison. You won’t find any elite 4-3 ends where we are picking but that  doesn’t mean we don’t need Guys to get after the qb. 

Sweat is taller 6’5 and 250 is fine as a rookie to come in on passing downs and blitz. He is the fastest end in the draft and has I think the longest wingspan. He’s a toolbox. I am a huge FSU fan and watched the majority of their games and he didn’t live up to the hype but he flashed. His senior year he lost number one player in his class due to the torn Meniscus tear in his knee and probably is still getting stronger. These are the kinds of bargain bin guys you take a chance on. Talented guys that didn’t live up to the hype but could be better pros than college players with coaching.

Josh Sweat, Florida State -- A former top 10 overall recruit in the country, Sweat has always been a gifted athlete. His 10-yard split of 1.55 in the 40 is a wide-receiver type figure. Bengals star A.J. Green had a 1.55 10-yard split at the 2011 combine. He jumped 39.5 inches in the vertical test and had a 10-foot-4 broad jump -- outrageous. Sweat's film shows inconsistency and a lack of pass-rushing polish, but he's squarely in the elite athleticism category, and is probably a Day Two lock now.-per cbssports.

the title makes me think of Kim Cattrall
