With the No. 26 pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, the traded up to select Montez Sweat, edge rusher out of Mi si sippi State. Looks like an NFL defensive end. Coming off a strong season at Mi si sippi State and only reconfirmed his ability to dominate at the Senior Bowl. Lorenzo Cain Jersey Sweat uses his strength and hands to overpower offensive linemen and get into the backfield though he'll need to prove he's flexible enough to regularly win on the edge.Draft tracker: Redskins: BPete Prisco:Yeah, there's i sues. There were teams that took him off the board with concerns about the heart. The ability is there. The ability is phenomenal. He's fast, he made a lot of plays. Had a great senior year. Controversial pick to keep an eye on going forward after Redskins gave up picks to trade back into first round. Eric Thames Jersey Fantasy impact Dave Richard:The Redskins' pick of Sweat reminds me a lot of their selection of Da'Ron Payne last year -- just taking the best available player at a discounted price. There are obvious questions about Sweat's health but the Redskins must not be worried about them. If he check out, Sweat should be a good pa s rusher for them for years. And when you think about the Redskins' front seven in 2019, there's some serious potential. Their Week 1 date with the Eagles isn't a good matchup for them, so I'd pa s on drafting the DST, but they could be very good off waivers by Week 5 or 6. I'd like them more if their offense could step up. Sweat's IDP value is not higher than a late-round pick. NFL comparison: Chris Trapa so:Hunter was a tall, somewhat lanky but freaky athlete who many believed had his best football in front of him once he got to the NFL. Despite his twitch and speed-to-power skills, there were questions about his bend around the corner. Everything I just wrote here applies to Sweat, and he's coming off a 12-sack, 14.5-tackle-for-lo s season at Mi si sippi State. Like Hunter, Sweat deploys Ryan Braun Jersey his long arms ferociously, and his elite explosivene s translates to serious point-of-attack power. Because he's pretty tall, Sweat isn't the bendiest around the edge, but his motor never stops. College career Ryan Wilson:Sweat played high school football in Georgia and committed to Michigan State. He appeared in one game as a freshman in 2014 and logged a sack. Sweat redshirted in 2015 and then transferred to Copiah-Lincoln Community College in Mi si sippi. Despite offers from LSU and Texas AM, he committed to Mi si sippi State in 2017 where Christian Yelich Jersey he had 10.5 sacks and 15.5 tackles for lo s as a junior. Sweat returned for his senior season and improved on his sack totals: 12.5 to go along with 14.5 tackles for lo s and a forced fumble.Among all FBS edge rushers, Sweat ranked No. 1 in Pro Football Focus' run-stop percentage, and he was ninth in their pa s-rush productivity metric. Strengths Ryan Wilson:Sweat like an NFL defensive end. He's coming off a strong season at Mi si sippi State and only reconfirmed his ability to dominate at the Senior Bowl. He uses his strength and hands to overpower offensive linemen and get into the backfield though he'll need to prove he's flexible enough to regularly win on the edge.Here's Sweat showing off his strength in one-on-one drills at the Senior Bowl: Montez Sweat is a QBs nightmare The Checkdown (@thecheckdown) And here he is using his quickne s to beat an offensive lineman off the snap: I had to watch this like 5 times before figuring out how Montez Sweat did this to him Mark Dulgerian Milwaukee Brewers Custom Jersey (@MarkDulgerianOS) Weakne ses Ryan Wilson:There are questions about whether Sweat has the flexibility to routinely get to quarterbacks at the top of the arc, and if he can consistently disengage from offensive lineman in both the pa s and run game.
