San Diego gave 4th and 5th round picks to move just 2 spots. Stay put.

Therein lies the problem... He may be a good player but is he good enough to beat out our current starting tackles this season? Nope. He doesn't project to play guard either. So we used that high of a pick on a guy who is an eventual replacement for our aging right tackle?!

He would provide some very needed mobility to that RT spot and change the whole way that spot is played now with Strief.

Peat was projected as a top 10 pick. Careful now... I'll trust Sean, Loomis and Ireland on this one
