Beasley is a great pass rusher. Peat is a great run blocker. Beasley learned how to tackle from Deion Sanders (which means he cant tackle RB's). Run towards him and push him into the stands. Again, everyone *****ed about not running the ball enough and now we pick a road grader and people are freaking out. I like the pick.

Yeah, but I do not thik Armistead is going anywhere. He's been good, plus he gets out into space well. The good thing about this kid is he is athletic too

Man, this kid is 21. Even if he is a backup this year and gets some experience if someone goes down, he's so young

I think it was JP who brought up an interesting point: you put Peat in as the LT and move Armstead in as the RT, which will in effect make Armstead's price go down for the contract talks.

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

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.

The common theme here is that people on this board get locked into a guy or position they want. If the pick doesn't happen, then they are disappointed :argue:. 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,

That was mentioned on the radio today. Payton did mention that our tackles are going to remain tackles so that tells me Lelito is going to play guard unless we draft one tonight. To be honest,I think Lelito will be just fine....not to mention,we also have Kelemente.
