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. |

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. |

Re: Official 2024 Saints Draft Discussion
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.

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. |
Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege.
All little common sense goes a long way. |

And, as you so accurately put it, you cannot rightly blame a a player for agreeing to a contract he has been offered.
