Evan Anderson might be a guy in the 6th or 7th round worth considering.
Florida Atlantic, listed at 6-0 319 lbs on one site and 6-3 356 lbs on another? Had 5 sacks and 11 tackles for a loss from the NT position last year. 83.7% run defense grade 72.4% true pass rush grade. Last edited by Couch-Potato; 02-14-2024 at 12:30 PM.. |

I don't love the idea of taking a run-stuffing DT with limited pass-rush ability in round 1.
But Sweat is more than that. He is freakishly quick for a 365-pounder. At Texas, he had lots of TFLs, QB pressures, and batted balls. He's not a pass rusher, but he can absolutely be a game-wrecker. There are immovable object NT types to be had in the later rounds, but I think Sweat has upside well beyond that. |

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. |

For me, Sweat would only fall behind these guys and we know most aren't falling to us:
WRs: Harrison, Nabers, Odunze, Franklin, Thomas Jr. TEs: Bowers OTs: Alt, Fashanu, Mims, Guyton, Suamataia DTs: Newton, Murphy CBs: Arnold, Mitchell, McKinstry, DeJean, Wiggins So really, he's pretty much there in the conversation for me. |

Would you trade up ahead of the cowboys for him? Cause I doubt Zimmer would stay in Dallas if they passed on him, given his scheme.

And if Dallas uses a 1st rounder on a DT for the 2nd straight year, Jerrah needs to fire himself. You just can't do that sort of thing. The Eagles could because of their surplus draft capital and a stronger overall roster. Dallas just can't. |

Damn, Chop had 34 hurries in the previous season!
That's awesome! |

I'm going to hope that the relative disappointment of Mazi Smith and other DTs taken in the first of late pushes Sweat to us in the 2nd. Because as has been noted, 30-40 snaps in a game is all you can likely ask of him. Is that a guy teams will want in the 1st? Or rebuilding teams drafting higher in the 2nd? And once a guy gets around 50, all bets are off as the boards diverge a lot around there.

He's more like Jalen Carter in that he's just awfully quick for a guy his size and if you don't address that, he can just crush your interior. While that's not a 'penetrator', it's someone that will take away avenues of escape for your QB. I don't see him racking up gaudy sack numbers, but I can see him creating a lot of pressures for his teammates or turning those pressures into sacks. He's not your ordinary fat guy in the middle, IMO. |

I don’t think there is a need to bring in a NT type. We have Isaiah Buggs and Neil Farrell already on roster. Both are run stuffer.
