You might be right on his positional value but I like sweat’s ability to push the pocket and limit qbs opportunities to step up and also take on double team. I see your point but at 64, that’s fair value for a DT that can occupy two blockers? I don’t remember Nnadi and Pennll getting double teamed much. You have to double team sweat, he will push the center or guard right back into the qb. Take a look here.

Now, you can absolutely argue that Pennell is old, and we really ought to bolster that spot some, but my point is that Pennell was sitting on his couch in October. So two down run stuffers are not expensive, nor worth using a high pick on. Just find another veteran on the cheap like Pennell and rotate snaps with him. A 'better Nnadi', if you will.
I just don't think it's worth significant resources UNLESS you think the player is a freak and offers three down potential as a pass rusher. Those are rare, and maybe Sweat is one of those unicorns, but at this point it's projection.
