Titans Select DT T’Vondre Sweat, Round 2, 38th Overall

[OILERMAN]

Sweat is clearly not in great shape and has a huge body fat % number. 

 

In an NFL weight room he can lose body fat and get even stronger and possibly be dominant and improve his stamina

Rexrode/Reising/PK did a post draft podcast from the Titans facility yesterday and I think it was PK who said he had been trying to track down the body fat % for Sweat and the two numbers he was told were obscenely high.

The idea they don't want him in on pass rushing situations is hilarious and wrong. They obviously do not see him as a 2 down player. It doesn't mean he won't be rotated to stay fresh, but let's go ahead and go down the line of other players you want on this roster in over him on 3rd down. 

 

Another swing and miss coming from the group who said he wasn't even draftable.

I'm sure we will want Bohanan in over Sweat on 3rd downs. 

 

They will likely start moving Key and Weaver inside on some 3rd down packages, but yes Sweat will be in that rotation. Obviously.

Who said he wasn’t draftable? I gotta see that 

 

I have no problems with Sweat at 38 but he’s gonna have a snap count

Ctm. 

[IsntLifeFunny]

And obviously he's on a snap count...that is wholly different than saying he was drafted to be a 2 down player and isn't in on 3rd downs lol. He obviously is viewed as a pass rusher at the 1 tech. They're correct, and per usual lately you are not.

That was due to character issues.

I know. Still hilariously wrong. 

[IsntLifeFunny]

He was saying we wouldn't draft him in the 6th round and then talked shit when several of us let him know he was way off base. To have him picked at 38 is quite funny.

Not really multiple reputable draft media said they had been told plenty of teams had taken Sweat off their draft board.

So not wrong that the team wouldn't draft him at all, even as a late round pick, and then we took him at 38? Sure.

Of course there was a few of us here that were wrong (myself included), with Carthon/Callahan spewing character first all offseason it wasn't unreasonable to come to the conclusion they wouldn't draft him let alone at pick 38.

It's okay that you don't like the picks. You didn't browbeat people when it was noted he was a round 2 talent with upside. You made your statement and sat on it. ctm did not.

The mistake that people made when determining we would never draft Sweat was that that they actually listened to what the decision-makers said during interviews before the draft. If a team preaches character first, it is logical to conclude they wouldn't draft a guy that just got a DUI. The reality however, is that you can't take these guys' words seriously. They worry about the talent first and then "get comfortable" with the character flaws after.
