Re: 2018 NFL Draft Prospects - Saints
DE Josh Sweat (Florida State) just might be my sleeper first round pick. There’s a lot of Vikings DE Danielle Hunter there.

I still firmly believe our problem on the defensive line is not just an opposite edge rusher, but a lack of all pass rush not named Cam Jordan... Trey Hendrickson flashed, but just wasn't seeing the field enough as Okafor stepped up and really surprised a lot of folks until he got hurt, again... |

I think he spent most of college recovering mentally from the high school knee injury as he’s just now shedding the knee brace. He was given the all-clear at the Combine medical evaluation so I’m optimistic about his future. Tons of upside. |

Re: 2018 NFL Draft Prospects - Saints
Like I said, that was a sleeper pick. I don’t expect the Saints to gamble though. Josh Sweat will go much higher than expected (late 1st/early 2nd.)

Re: 2018 NFL Draft Prospects - Saints
I agree. Sweat is a top pass rusher and would love him. but 1st is a reach only because of the injury history...having a leg almost amputated is some serious stuff. just concerned is all
