Strengths: Excellent jump-ball ability, knows how to use his size to catch and protect the ball from defenders. Good hands, is able to pick the ball out of the air at odd angles.

Concerns: Sweed is slow and will not be able to beat NFL corners and safeties with speed. Slight injury concern as he had wrist problems this year that cut his senior season short.

Comments: Sweed is a prototypical possession receiver. He uses his body to isolate the defender from the ball to make his catches. He won’t win any races and will likely always have a terrible YAC, but his size, ability and pedigree will ensure that Sweed is an early first day pick.

  1. Y’alls logo for Sweed looks like the Tennessee logo. I know many in the Texas community who would be upset with this!

    My mistake Michael. Where I store them they are right next to each other, I grabbed the wrong one. Come one…same color, T…it was close.
