Mississippi State Edge Defender Montez Sweat runs an unofficial 4.42

[BlueShoe]

If it stands then it will be a Combine record...

Does this change your opinion of Sweat enough to move up from 26 to get him? If so, how far up would you move? 15 - 18? Higher?

I had thoughts of getting him. Those are long gone.

He'll go top ten. A good time pinned him top 15.  This run put him out of feasibility. 

[BluHorzhu]

What would it feel like to get rung up on a sweep play by a guy with his size with 4.42 speed?  Brutal.

[BlueShoe]

He followed up with a 4.46 on his second attempt.

Sweat reminds me a little of Davenport last year... If he falls to the teens then I think some team is going to move up and get him. 

 

He might have just punched his ticket in the top 10 though.

If college players were shoving him around in the run game, then he will have a lot of work to do to be NFL ready.

I think he is actually better against the run than he is a pass rusher.

 Then that would be a concern then.

I think he got a lot of coverage sacks in college. He can rush, no doubt. But when I watch his tape, he is very impressive against the run. 

 

I don't usually call an edge rusher a full package (can rush and play run), and I am not quite there with Sweat yet, but he is getting close...

With that kind of speed, I could also see him being used to cover a TE or RB once in a while too.

There is no doubt in my mind that Vic Fangio, during his tenure as Colts defensive coordinator, would have dropped into coverage.

Sweat should now likely go top-10...   probably no later than top-12.

 

Way too expensive to move up that far.  It would start with this year’s one AND next years one.   And would likely cost even more than that. 

 

[Fluke_33]

What’s more impressive freeney’s 4.48 at 270 or sweats 4.42 at 260?  I’ll go with dw.

7.00 3 cone drill. Not bad either.

Keith Sweat has a better chance of wearing the Horseshoe than Montez Sweat after his combine. Sure fire top 10 now.

[Hoose]

Sweat wont be a Colt. He's obviously going in the top half of the 1st round. 

So....enough on that. 

On the other hand, Brian Burns had a pretty impressive 40 , along with a very decent 3 cone time. He weighed in at 250 lbs., which should answer the concerns about whether or not he'd slow down when carrying extra weight.  He just might be in play at #26.

Any takers?

[TonyBungee]

I was hoping maybe our 1st & the Jets 2nd might be enough to move up to get him.  It seemed a stretch then, seems impossible now.

 His weight shocked me.  He is a better football player than Sweat so yes i would suspect CB will be very interested if our staff thinks his weight program was a good one. He is a heck of an athlete.

[WoolMagnet]

Is that Keith's kid?

He's quietly lurking as a top edge rusher without the hype of Bosa, Sweat and others. It doesn't  mean he won't be taken before #26, but he's in the running for the Colts' pick, and I'm increasingly thinking he's their guy if he's there.
