There are immovable object NT types to be had in the later rounds, but I think Sweat has upside well beyond that.

Which is why he's still on my board for the 1st, but he's not a good enough pass rusher to put him over some of the WRs and OTs.

He could be a Vita Vea sort; a mountain in the middle that can also crush the pocket and provide some real problems in the passing game.

He's powerful and quick. He's absolutely a worthwhile consideration in the 1st and there's a non-zero chance he'd be the BPA when we get up. I wouldn't call it likely, but there's a scenario where he's the best guy.
