I don't know if it's that simple, but it does sound like a solid plan if it works out.
Yeah, premier right tackles are paid 7mil max. LTs 10+mil

Re: Saints select offensive lineman Andrus Peat with the 13th pick

Commentator took a shot at Armstead when Peat was picked...
as if Armstead was a flop. Our troubles weren't from Brees' blind side,
our troubles were up the middle on the passing lanes.
Armstead did a heck of a job (IMHO).
This kid will be a great addition and is young enough to flow where needed.
I think both he and Armstead could do left or right. They both have the feet and hands.

We were either average to below average on the O line last season & we addressed this twice (Unger & Peat). I think Sean & the rest of our brain trust have a game plan, otherwise he wouldn't have been on our board.
I have to admit ur right . that's exactly what I did.

One thing I learned about SP... NEVER EXPECT who you think he is going to draft. The only except is if the player has a NFL father/DNA Which is one of the reasons I think we snagged peat.

So I didn't go into it for a player or position I just wanted to see what rabbit we were going to pull out of our hat and we did,

I think our back up OL is Lelito. They weren't comfy with him as a starter and we went out and brought in whats his name who I don't like either, lol.

Lelito got pushed around a lot last season. IMO he's the weak link that needs to be replaced unless he improved greatly in the off season.

I was thinking the opposite; Lelito at center did fine, it was Evans at guard who struggled mightily due to injury. Grubbs also struggled at times. Armstead/Strief were pretty solid

Lilito barely played last season,and we he did, he played well. Not saying he was a stud,but he played well and should be better with Unger by his side.
