What say you @JiF Both highly touted out of High School. Thomas gave Florida the Heisman and Sweat never even considered Florida. Sweat was the #1 DE prospect in the nation who over came an early injury at FSU but I would be double checking his knee if I were NFL teams interested. In general, I'd say he underachieved at FSU. That D was terrible the past few years and it's hard to look at their roster and see who's going to flourish in the NFL. Thomas is one of those guys who had the body, the size, the skill but just never seemed to put it altogether. He seems like a dude who relies solely on his athleticism but doesnt really work on the craft. So he can go quite for long stretches of time. Sweat is probably the better prospect just because if he can stay healthy, his ceiling is much higher and I think he gives you a lot more versatility as a player. That said, I dont anticipate either being very good in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinstar Posted February 14, 2018 Author Share Posted February 14, 2018 The reason I asked is i'm looking for a longshot at edge rusher but this seems like a terrible draft for that type of player . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just took a quick gander as I haven't looked him up in a bit.... man. Crickets. He's not in the combine, he's barely listed on websites... what the hell?

I'd say both are long shots. Thomas is going to get looks because he just looks the part. Sweat has undeniable talent but major durability concerns. The "long shot" I like is Okornokwo from Oklahoma. I'm all about Arden Key. Especially if he falls to the 2nd, which I doubt but a boy can dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonny Werblin Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 The op question frames my issue with the draft..... better "prospect". **** that, we're not wildcatting for oil. We're putting together a football team. Give me the best football players. History is littered with the failed football careers of great prospects.

Tinstar Posted February 17, 2018 Author Share Posted February 17, 2018 I wanna know 2 things about Key before I make any decision about him. His actual size and how he runs at that size . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably could have worded that better, but truth be told I don't like any of the edge rushers as football stars at the next level. The way things are playing out in today's NF, you have to take a chance on a guy who has shown something in college and hope you don't end up with a knucklehead .

I mean these 2 things we all want to see, but that’s not even the biggest things that are of concern with Key that the NFL is gonna want to have clarity about.

Quite true, but that will be important to teams , not to me until I know how big he is and how fast he runs . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
