    Yes it is! He weighs over 320 lbs. You can get an idea of how many drinks he must have pounded from this chart to reach .105 BAC.

    The scary part is he weighs 66 pounds more than the highest level on that chart and didn't get his blood tested for almost an hour and a half after he was arrested. He must have drank a whole lot of alcohol. No telling how high his BAC was at the time he was driving. He could have killed somebody.

    This kid has been gifted a lottery ticket in life and he is blowing it up.......................right before the friggin draft. So much for the "partying is all behind me" speech he gave. I would probably take a flyer at 124 or 128 but the kid would have to prove himself.

    All that and for what?? Take a friggin Uber people, if someone hits you, it's still your ass on the line.

    How do you feel about drafting Bullard in the 2nd or 3rd rd.

    He's got a DWI in his past.

    This is the guy that Caserio should trade up to the bottom of the 3rd/top of the 4th for, he could be a game changer. Former WR who's a great fit in a WCO.

    Don't know about gifted.
    I am sure he has put in a lot of work to arrive here.

    Take out HB and add DT while putting LB back into the mix

    I was thinking about how Sweat told the cops he had 2 or 3 drinks, so I decided to see what it would take for a 360 lb man to reach a BAC of .105.

    They did his blood alcohol test at around 6AM. If he took his first drink 6 hours earlier, he could drink 10 beers and 5 shots of tequila and still not reach that level. That's crazy that he was driving!

    Even if he had waited until 3AM to start drinking and downed 10 shots he would have been .088.
    I show that on the link attached.

    i wonder how the Texans have the draft board stacked right now. If OT Jordan Morgan from Arizona is still there at 42 do you take him? Morgan would be a really good scheme fit for the Texans. Of course he will have to make it past the 49ers selection, Tunsil & Howard were both injured last year for multiple games. I'm starting to have doubts that Fiske will be there at 42. At 59 & 86 for an OT I really like Yale's Kiran Amegadjie and Kansas's Dominick Puni.

    I'd imagine Sweat has to chug even more, I'd imagine the "360 pound man" model is built around the morbidly obese scooter riders, not NFL defensive tackles. All that extra muscle would mean he metabolizes it even quicker.

    All of us have ideas on what positions the Texans should target in the draft, particularly at 42, 59 and 86.

    I think the biggest "surprise" Nick could spring on many of us is drafting an OL in the 2nd or 3rd round. I'm guilty of harping on the need to improve the o-line, yet when I think of the draft, my mind has been locked into them going defense for all 3. But after some thought, my guess now is they go DT, CB and OL, not necessarily in that order (though I think getting a DT is the biggest key to completing the defense).

    At 42 your trying to get the best player available at position of need. If they stick the pick at 42 then your looking at
    CB Ennis Rakestraw
    OT Jordan Morgan
    DT Brandon Fiske
    LB Edgerin Cooper
    LB Payton Wilson
    CB Kamari Lassiter
    DE Chris Braswell
