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.

Yes, we're talking about investing in a 3rd round DT not a 1st round WR. Warren Sapp was passed over for off the field stuff and look how that turned out. I think the risk/reward for Sweat is MUCH lower than any of those cases.
