If Keon Coleman or Michael Penix are there at 45 I think I’m making a luxury pick.

Ben Sinnot
TE - K State

Solid run blocker, route running & makes the contested catches.
Versatile player that LOVES to block.

Day 3 grades

Saints need an upgrade at TE.

Starting around 24:34 .. good perspective from Matt Bowen.

Offensive line: 3

Current projected starter(s): Trevor Penning, James Hurst, Erik McCoy, Cesar Ruiz, Landon Young

This is a mess. Ryan Ramczyk couldn’t play a game tomorrow at right tackle after undergoing knee surgery, and the slower-than-expected recovery may keep him out for all of 2024. Trevor Penning needs to earn the left tackle job after being benched last season. James Hurst was a liability at left guard, too. The Saints could justify draft picks at any (or all three of) those positions. Right now, their top priority should be finding a top-tier tackle at either side of the line in the first round. The question is where to look first.





My take with three weeks until Round 1 kicks off:

Ideally we find a starter at tackle in the draft and it could be Left or Right.

At pick 14, I'm leaning drafting a Right Tackle like Fuaga or Latham to replace Ram.

Sign Mekhi Beckton to battle Penning at LT. It'll cost $10M per year. Minimum.

Resign Peat to play LG. Probably over-pay, but it is what it is.

Starting line: Beckton, Peat, McCoy, Ruiz, Fuaga/Latham.
Reserves: Penning, Young, Saldiveri, Late Round Pick

Then your line is set for 2024 with an emphasis on running.
I thought Peat played better at LT than he did at guard. I can't even believe I'm typing those words.

Peat was never as bad as some claimed. He came into his first camp somewhat "dumpy", for sure. Because of that some have rode him hard with things like the cruel Popeye's jokes. Since then he has always been in much better shape, but has experienced more than his share of injuries. His time at guard has, once again, been judged by one play that resulted in our franchise QB suffering a serious injury himself.

One factor to remember is that the player that beat Peat to get to Brees was arguably the greatest player to ever play his position and EVERYONE that Aaron Donald faced got beat on a regular basis.

I watch every game, just like you. I know what I saw, and it was often times Peat whiffing a block or being put on his ass by a DL. I'm trying to give him a compliment, as he actually exceeded my expectations when moving to LT. Maybe he should have never been moved to guard in the first place.

Not being available on just as bad as blown assignments if not worse because the player isn't on the field

Be honest with yourself here. Outside of exceding expectations at LT this past year, he's graded out poorly in almost, if not every single year he's been here. I understand the fact you are a sunshine pumper and there's nothing wrong with that. At least attempt to be a little objective. It'll go a long way. What people need to understand in defense to Peat is that he didn't make the Saints give him that contract. He would have been stupid not to sign it.


We need a tackle with one of our first two picks if we don't sign someone in free agency.

I never once implied that Peat was anything more than average. I only pointed out that he has been more than serviceable when healthy. Injuries are part of the game and something that should not be blamed on the individual athlete. And, as you so accurately put it, you cannot rightly blame a a player for agreeing to a contract he has been offered.
