Anyone who’s heard me on the Audible or stood within 50 feet of me at any bar in Austin knows I consider Sweed an overrated wideout who tends to fade from the ball, plays mechanically, seldom gets separation, and can get pushed around for a player his size.
But at the end of the 2nd? He’s well worth it. By all accounts, he’s a great kid who works hard and wants to be great. And he got better every season at Texas. Combine his physical talent with that work ethic and you’ve got someone to build on. I didn’t feel Sweed merited the first round pick status most folks wanted to bestow upon him, but this is value for the Steelers. He’s the jump-ball red zone threat they lack and will learn the craft from Hines Ward.
I’m glad/relieved to hear you say this Faletti. Anytime a Longhorn is picked - regardless of my opinion on said player - the first thing I think is, “What’s Faletti think of this guy?”
You are one of the most passionate Longhorn fans that I know, yet you don’t let your love for all things :horns: cloud your opinion.
