dex Posted April 8 Report Share Posted April 8 Even before this incident I wondered if the Bengals viewed Sweat the way they did Dawand Jones before the 2023 draft. As an overweight but talented guy with some real off the field baggage. Sweat may not even be on their big board anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Tigre Posted April 8 Report Share Posted April 8 Lol@ “baggage”. A dumb college kid screw-up. If he beat up girlfriends…waved firearms around…dealt narcotics—there is “baggage” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he beat up girlfriends…waved firearms around…dealt narcotics—there is “baggage” Laramy Tunsil dropped from what was likely the number one overall pick to pick 13 when minutes before the draft video surfaced of him smoking bong. I view weed as NBD, but obviously the league has issues with it, (at least on paper). What he did would be considered worse, and it clearly affected his draft status, but not to the point that he dropped significantly, so who knows. I imagine this will at least be a red flag for some teams and may take him off the board for some, or at least make them reconsider where they take him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of teams wonder how dedicated Sweat might be to reach his full potential in terms of conditioning and effort. What makes this arrest even more stupid is that every draft prospect should know to be extremely careful this close to the draft where their future gets determined. The fact that Sweat was this careless at this time calls into question his decision-making in general. It's about more than just one DUI. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn’t look like he takes plays off. Motor looks sound. Like I said, he may not be everything and a bag of chips. Might be what is so desperately needed as an interior run stopper. Might not. But to give some 22-year old college dumbass a “baggage” moniker after this, is a tad harsh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to give some 22-year old college dumbass a “baggage” moniker after this, is a tad harsh. Many sights have noted he had some questions about his dedication. The DUI situation is even worse given it happened at 2 in the afternoon. His character flags are well known in the draft pages, whether they are all true or not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Tigre Posted April 8 Report Share Posted April 8 2am maybe? Whatever, not important. Again, maybe the guy is going to be shit anyway, maybe not. If not…and gets passed over by the Bengals soley due to this incident…watch him get swiped up by the Stealers or the Rats. Then everyone can complain as to why the Bengal offensive line can’t move him out of the way and run the football. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's the best of them. Pull the trigger on the big guy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweat was there but McConkey is too good to pass up 6 linemen you choose I'm all n on that but are they worthy in those draft spots? I think it would be a mistake to pass on Sweat in Rd2 even if McConkey is there. Draft is saturated with wide outs. Very few NTs.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Just the way the value at that round went. Everything else when I got to that pick was largely WR, LB, or S. Didn't think I needed those. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like Flounder Carman. btw... what are we going to do with that pant load this season? Keep him eating a roster spot because he's too much of a cap hit to cut?
