Yea we're giving up a pick around #35th overall for him, not a steal at all. That's a high price to pay.
Who else can we get that’s of his calibre at pick #35?
We could have drafted someone at #35 and also signed a DE in the offseason. We didn't have to give up the pick.
It was too high of a price to pay. SF gave up a pick around #70 to get Young. That's good value. #35 is an overpay for a player like Sweat who is very good but not elite.
Not a steal, but for a guy who is first round talent at a premium position and this allows us to focus our other two first round picks on two other premium positions, I think the Bears did pretty well.
