Not only is he a very good player, but I believe Baalke would like to add him to the team due to his versatility. I don't believe he'll be available at 48, so they'd  likely have to move up a little by throwing in one of their 4th round picks.

Prior to his DWI incident, Sweat would have also been my choice for the reasons you gave. This incident pushed him back to the 4th round for me. His inability or plain stupidity to refrain from drinking and driving prior to the biggest day of his life does not give me confidence that he stay in playing shape once he signs his contract. I'd rather take an interior offensive lineman at the end of round 3 who could eventually become a starter replacing Scherff.

I don't really see anything there too terrible. The guy got hit by another driver who fled the scene and subsequently failed the field test. He's got no history of being a partier like a certain receiver we once drafted long ago. That doesn't eliminate him as a selection at 96 if you'd still take him at 114 IMO.

Are you referring to Justin Blackmon, R.J. Soward or Matt Jones? All 3 of these turned out to be bad picks. I disagree with you regarding Sweat. Drinking and driving just prior to the draft is bad on a number of levels. Your point about me taking him at 114 is a good one, however. He will likely be off the Draft Boards of many teams due to the combination of this incident and his "reportedly" being very immature. My decision to take him at 114 was pretty random, but there is the possibility that he matures and eventually becomes one of the top nose tackles in the NFL.
