We agree about this. The risk/reward for taking Sweat in round 3 is not even close to the 3 receivers taken in round 1. I must confess that if the Jaguars did take him at 96, I'd likely be excited due to his rare physical traits and what he could do for the defense if he stayed in shape. As a G.M., however, I'd still prefer one of the interior offensive linemen who might be on the board at that spot ( Mahogany, Zinter, Bortolini, McCormick ). These players could all become solid starters on the offensive line following a season of development. Sweat would likely provide frequent disappointment due to his unreached potential, but I'd be willing to risk a 4th rounder on this. It all comes down to differences of opinion and we'll likely know the answer after he has been in the league for a couple of seasons.

That's the impetus for these threads about mid-round guys, we are talking about lower investment that might result in some risk taking for what could be home run players. I think it adds to the usual 1st round discussions that we're all about done with at this point.
